Finally got around to getting Choccy a nice harness from @crunchycurl.com Reindeer but without the strap connecting top and bottom (can't be having any straps getting in the way of belly rubs :D )

More jackals than I would've guessed, fewer tigers and yotes.

Talking to coworkers about Very Important Work that Must Get Done in the next couple months... ...but also everybody being real upfront and unapologetic about burning a ton of PTO the next couple months after a Real Heck of a year. So we'll see what all actually gets done haha.

Every year I see the Spirit Halloween stores going up and think, "I should get in and get a costume before all the good ones are gone." And then I blink and Halloween is just a few days away and I still haven't.

I listen to Orbital so much more during Fall and Winter. I have some really strong, good memories linked to their music and those times of year.

Stuff like this on a site that stores payment info is always unsettling. Like, it's not a problem in and of itself, obviously, but it tells me they take a "roll your own" approach to even really basic coding problems.

Why did I wait so long to watch President Curtis this show is hilarious.

I need one of those gigantic stuffed animals. It's chilly and a bit drizzly out and I've got a big bowl of popcorn and wanna watch a movie and cuddle. But I reeeeally don't feel like socializing / hanging out with anybody heh.

Begging gamedevs please don't start blasting music right off if you want me to read the 'Welcome to the beta!' message or whatever. If I don't personally, immediately love the music I'm gonna blast through every popup standing between me and Sound Options so I can turn the music off.

This sounds fun in its own right But Also I think it's a neat idea to spread out likely-popular events across multiple hotels like this for a large-ish-and-quickly-growing con. Hopefully it helps tamp down congestion, elevator lines, etc. having people more spread out.

And then there's the occasional burst of motivation to "clean up my bookmarks", in which The Folder of The Forsaken becomes The Subfolder of The Folder of The Forsaken.

I like the BallotTrax sticker with Blucifer. The demon horse has blessed my vote. :D Get out there and vote, folks. If you're in a tough district, make them sweat. If you're in an easy one, run up the score. Every vote is important.

Reading a book that made me think about spicy food and start to crave some spicy food and then I remembered I have leftover 🔥 pad thai in the fridge awwyisssssss.

Man I usually have pretty good luck of getting songs I really like stuck in my head to start the day but today it's Avril Lavigne - Complicated. 😬 I don't normally *hate* it but man after about the 60th time it's looped in your brain it wears preeeeeetty thin lemme tell ya.

Looking at my calendar and realizing I only have 4 or 5 full workweeks left this year (including this week). :D So many holidays and planned long weekends and stuff most remaining weeks will at least be a day or two short.

40min is the worst amount of time to kill. It’s not long enough to just go home or to run a long errand but it’s a really long time to sit in a parking lot scrolling your phone.

Many character designs (like my tiger) have standard chest patterns but cool markings on the back, but you rarely see it in pics, because people only take pics of the front. Shots like this can be such a treat. :) Maybe I should practice posing with my back to the camera on purpose. 🤔

Day 16 -- Scythe Stealing from giants so close to harvest time is such a monumentally stupid thing to do, it may as well be a mandatory initiation ritual.

I am an adult. With a calendar. I don't miss appointments, but if I did, I accept the no-show fee. I do not need a text msg for every doc, vet, dentist, fucking *barber*, every damn appointment in my life, demanding I not only read it, but "Reply 1 to Confirm." Fuck the fuck off with this shit.

Laughing at this so hard I woke my doggo up from his very important morning nap

This image gave me a real lightbulb moment of insight: This type of person *cannot tell who to believe* and are too stupid and / or lazy to actually try to figure it out. Seeking compromise is outsourcing the decision - "I can't tell who's right so y'all figure it out amongst yourselves."

206lbs this morning. This is as lean as I've been since moving to CO over a decade ago - both lighter and more fit than my prev low about 9 years ago. Bonus, last time I did it on a strict Keto diet, where this time has just been steady, sustainable calorie counting + exercise, nothing special. :)

I feel like the issues on my ballot this year were less 'Progressive / Liberal vs Conservative' and more 'Conservative vs Regressive'. Most questions were like, "Change things to be worse or leave them the way they are." What few proposals for improvement there were were trivially weak. :c

Man now I'm craving peas. Like soaked in butter, naturally. 😋

Challenged myself a bit at the climbing gym tonight. Got those real good fingertip tinglies hehe.

Minding my own business scrolling along innocently when out of nowhere a fursuiter posts some pics that just smash a bunch of buttons at once goddamn 😳

"Treat-or-Tricking" Commission for @vaurien.bsky.social furaffinity.net/view/66687396/

My company split into 2 independent companies a bit ago. Got an email from other side's cloud sec that a resource I'd said pre-split was scheduled to be decommissioned hadn't been. Had a laugh, then composed my most professional, polite translation of "Here's a quarter, call someone who cares." 🤷‍♂️

Billion Dollar Idea: Tape measure with high-precision 'Find My' support built in and a way to make it chirp or vibrate on demand. I know I own like a eight fucking tape measures how is it possible I can't find a single one?!

Giancarlo Esposito memes never quite land right for me because I guess he's been kind of a badass in some popular stuff but the first thing that comes to mind when I see him is Pierce Hawthorne's half-brother on Community. :P

I don't generally like the very muscular or hyper sorta look, but there's a gray area riiiiiiight about here that is Very Good. 👀 Also that lightly scruffy look like dang. For such a simple pic this is pushing some buttons haha.

I want to sprawl out and be lazy but my dog fell asleep with his head on my foot while I was sitting with good posture and now I'm stuck this way. :C

Sometimes I click the "Account Muted" expando on a post and it's a good post and I have no idea who that person is or why I muted them. Buuuut I trust past me had his reasons and usually leave it muted. :P Wish BSky had that Masto feature where you leave a note to yourself on others' profile tho.

That daily high slope awwyissss...

Was just thinking how weird it is that like that meme about The Last Time you rode bikes with childhood friends, there was a Last Time I put away my NES / SNES / PSX / PS2 and back then, they were just toys I'd moved on from, not knowing in what felt like a short time they'd be desirable retro gear.

I'm so spoiled by Amazon's logistics. Being able to receive, pick, pack, and ship an order for damn near anything in a few hours is truly incredible. Ordered a thing from a specialty dealer instead of Amzn w/ 2d shipping but 2d later they're still 'Processing'. I don't NEED it asap but stillllll...

My weirdest dog, Sirius.

Woooow just had the experience of looking at a calendar item for TODAY and subconsciously assuming it was from LAST YEAR because, like, obviously it can’t already be a week into October THIS year, right?! That’d be craaaaazy. @.@;

Oooooh I gotta keep an eye out for the nog next time I go shopping. Using it instead of milk in my morning flat white is probably one of my favorite simple pleasures of the season. :D

I need to stop following normies. I bet they are less than 1% of my follows, but damn are they active with the Like button, I guess. My 'Popular With Friends' feed is getting more and more overlap with 'Catch Up'.

Realized today I can use the rowing machine correctly. For the longest time I couldn’t because my belly got in the way lol. If I don’t cheat toooo much over the holidays I think I might get under 200lbs before new year. \o/

Reclaimed dog yesterday Today, changed the oil in my car and also redid the curb-facing edging on the front yard. Dadtivities accomplished, now I can just play video games and be full lazy the rest of the weekend, huzzah. :D
