Jay the Ent-Larch 💛🤍💜🖤

I’m the notetaker at the TTRPG tables I’m involved with, and I’ve written most of our stories up and posted them online (with permission). Here’s a thread of links if you’re so inclined!

I have two observations this Monday morning: First, I’d rather just stay in my flannel pants and my Scooby Doo hoodie. Alas, this is not considered professional attire. Second, there is a unique sense of satisfaction when the sound of my turn signal matches the blinking of the car in front of me.

I wrote words! Maybe you would like reading them?

Well, it’s been two weeks, but I’m finally back among the living! There were some exciting moments and more than a few questionable decisions along the way, but now I’ve recovered enough to write about it!

On the day eight years ago, noted pie-enjoyer @scalzi.com said he liked my pie. I have not forgotten it.

The problem with saying “I’ll get up early tomorrow and do X” is that the following morning, one has to get up early to do X.

If you normally see me on the mystery jukebox on Saturdays and wonder why I missed the last one here you go:

When people ask how it’s going in my part of the world and this is what’s happening a few towns over . . .

Entropy And just like that, another two weeks has gone by. I swear I'm not postponing my weekly check-ins on purpose. But today it's raining outside, making it the perfect day to read and write inside. Pull up a chair and let's chat.

It’s raining outside which makes it a good day to read and write inside

I think I know which one it is

If anyone’s attending New York City ComicCon please stop by my friends’ booth and check them out and maybe exchange money for some amazing scents. They’re Mad Labs Studios at Booth 3276 Tell them Jay sent you

Be the change you want to see in the world. Especially if that change is becoming a person who reads books aloud in the forest for all the creatures and wild folk of the wood to listen to.

One of my five pens is leaking but it’s not obvious which one it is, so I’ve separated them all into individual sandwich bags in an attempt to find out.

Putting out fresh hummingbird food today; the feeder comes down Friday - I feel like the last aid station in a marathon staying open for the last finishers. C’mon little buddies; I believe in you!

My car started making noise over the weekend and I already knew some things needed to be looked at Turns out I needed new brakes and pads and rotors and two new tires None of these were necessarily surprises, but I wish it weren’t the case

Just popping on to say Iove you all and I’ve decided today will be a social media break day so I will see you all later on this week.

My tattoo has now been featured on an article by “The Dodo” - the photo’s been rotated, but it’s the right place and orientation and if you zoom in you can see the stove burner just behind my arm!

I want to make crow friends

I felt like I had a million tabs open today and when I went to close them there were a million more I’d forgotten about . . .

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only I once watched Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost and The Mummy (1999) back-to-back under a full moon while sitting sideways in a recliner

I looked at the calendar on my phone for a solid minute, convinced it said September 30 . . . and then the steep timer for my tea went off, and when I cleared it, it was back to September 29 . . .

I wrote words! Maybe you’d like to read them!

could be worse could be my father

I might’ve missed last week but I’m here this week to talk all about what’s been going on!

I took the soup to a potluck; there was one very small bowlful left over. I’d say it was a great success!

I have made pumpkin soup.

In just a few short weeks I’ll be writing for our local Civic Theatre’s 24 Hour Theatre Project! The official official announcement was made today

ugh it’s Monday & I had a pain flare Saturday & recovery Sunday so I’ve not had much of a weekend . . . I suppose it’s good the main project today is solving a process error with a 15 minute runtime so unless I solve it first thing it’ll be a “hurry up and wait” kind of day.

I wrote some good stuff last night, I think.

To everyone already hating on this, I have but one thing to say: some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again

So it looks like my night will be spent listening to jazz and writing poetry while I work on finishing off a half bottle of moscato and a pile of chicken nuggets (and maybe some tortilla chips) and I kinda like it

today on my walk I passed 32 geese and said "hello, goosers" and one of them stopped preening, looked right at me, and gave me two soft honks as if saying hello day made right there

For a brief moment I thought today was Friday with a four hour work day but I have now realized it is Thursday with a nine hour workday - wish me luck.

At this exact moment its books and bedtime

So it’s National Tattoo Story Day and I have seven tattoos so I guess pick a number between 1 and 7 and I’ll share the story behind it.

It wasn’t exactly a chaotic week but that doesn’t mean that nothing interesting happened. Read the words I wrote about the week that was!

I have hims, now I must name hims.
