    Today was a relatively good day.

    I might have to partially bullshit my standup update tomorrow morning, but i might be able to scrape enough stuff out of my notes. That’s a problem for tomorrow me.

    I’m unwinding for the night. Watched a couple episodes of Sex and the City for the first time as i slowly work my way through the first season. And now i’m settled in to an episode of The Gentlemen because I want to catch up before the new season drops.

    Although, I’m liable to put this weeks WWE Raw back on since Jacob and I only got about half way through it earlier.

    He also added me to his Steam family while he was over and I’m pretty excited to play some of the games he can loan me now. ☺️

    Although, to be honest, I’m probably gonna be glued to Pokopia and 2K26 in my spare time for some time to come.

    As Jacob was leaving, I noticed my neighbor Isaac on the porch so I stepped out to say hi. We’ve been caring for some of the neighborhood cats and HP, an orange gentleman that Isaac’s girlfriend named Handsome Pumpkin, bound up the stairs as Jacob was heading to the car.

    So I decided to pop a squat and had some lovely neighborly bonding time while playing with an orange cat who was an absolute fucking Slut for skritches behind the ears.

    And now I’m yawning on my couch like an old man as I get ready to move into the bedroom for the evening.

    I didn’t switch back over to Raw. It’s WrestleMania season after all. The time of the year where they should ostensibly be pulling out all the stops.

    IDK, it’s alright I guess.

    like sure, the 90s was cool but can we not go back to having the liberal party led by anti-queer charismatic assholes? please? pretty please? 🥺

    Meanwhile, they increased my SNRI to 60 Mg from 30. Been about a week. Lots of dry mouth the first few days but that’s all good now. I have noticed lower anxiety so that’s definitely a boon.

    I’ve been more able to enjoy things without overthinking them—at least when I’m sober, lmfao. But I have definitely had a really good week. So I’ll take what I can get.

    I feel like less of an observer and more of a participant in life. 🙂 💜

    This begins my personal blog where I’ll put things I’d like to remember. I have a pretty shitty memory as it is, so as I piece everything together I hope to be able to hold on to it for a long time to come instead of being scared it will just disappear one day.

    By the title you can probably gather that I feel I’m coming out of a lost decade. This post will be both about that decade and also a bit of a general introduction to me as a person. It’s my one year anniversary where I work and that means that after July I’ll officially be in my longest position I’ve ever held. My boss speaks highly of me. I’ve accidentally made myself an important part of the team. Things are going well there.

    My co-worker’s sister died and it’s brought a lot of emotions up in me from when my mom died. Ends up, I think I’m just not great at dealing with death or loss.

    Aside from that, I got a mystery injury that inflamed my left sciatic nerve branch. Walking around with a limp like the real “cool dude” I am while I try not to eat at work because using the bathroom cranks the pain up to an 11 when I have to sit down on something hard—especially at that angle.

    Usually, I’d complain loudly about this at work, but instead I’m just kinda suffering in silence this week. With everything going on in the office, it didn’t feel right. Not that it’s a competition, but “my booty hurts” doesn’t really hold a candle to “my sister just lost her long struggle with cancer.”

    I did manage to finally get my temporary tag in Alabama this morning. That’s been stressing me out. They still don’t have my title even though I’ve requested it twice now. But I just bought myself another 20 days to annoy the lienholder until they send it.

    Things are looking up there…ish. My dad has it in his head that if I don’t formally cancel my registration in Georgia both of our licenses will somehow get suspended.

    On the plus side, I’ve been keeping to more of a budget. So hopefully things will settle down soon.

    Meanwhile, here’s some media I’ve been into recently.

    Currently Watching

    Taskmaster was my jam during peak-pandemic times. I’ve fallen off a bit since season 17 (didn’t finish and didn’t start 18), but I had to see how Jason Mantzoukas would fare. Loving it so far.

    Currently Listening

    This cover of “Take On Me” by Thunder Jackson has been stuck in my head all day today. I love a good dissonant cover.

    Guide to EmuDeck on Steam Deck – Wagner’s TechTalk

    I really want to get EmuDeck setup properly after tinkering around with it installed on the internal drive and tapping out so I could make room for WWE 2K25.

    THE PENGUIN- Episode 108 – Final Script – 11.10 – the-penguin-it-starts-on-the-page.pdf

    The Penguin was a great show, and I love being able to see the script behind the show or movie.

    Currently Playing

    I’ve been mostly on a backlog kick older games thanks to getting a Steam Deck recently.

    WWE 2K25, Balatro, Crash 4, My Time at Sandrock, and Cyberpunk 2077 are the newest games I have. But, I’ve really enjoyed spending some time with Another Crab’s Treasure.

    I’m pretty new to the soulslike genre, but I’ve been intrigued, so I picked this one up on a steep discount. Am I good at it? No. In fact, I’ve had to restart twice now just getting the hang of things.

    But, it’s a lot of fun and keeps a tone that makes me less likely to jump off a bridge after I’ve died for the 50-11th time.

    In the meantime, peace out losers, I’m going to Dog World!
