shouldโ€™ve pressed these slacks I got in the other day first, but was super excited to see how they paired with a 60s sweater I had

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Rare find and because Iโ€™m a fan of odd diesel locomotives I had to add it to my collectionโ€ฆ EXCEPT this F-unit has 3rd rail contact shoes to run without using diesel because itโ€™s an FL9! (An older Rapido release in N Scale though just as detailed as anything theyโ€™ve put out!)

D&D session tonight and really wish I was playing a fighter, because my brain is COOKED from work and rather not have to use my think meats

finished this book last night and W O W, what a read I was doing Army stuff/college at the time of the rise of Theranos, so I hadn't been tuned in to Silicon Valley news at that time and unsure if I would've been as captivated with the promise of the touted tech as SO MANY people were

started reading โ€œBad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startupโ€ last night and ended up getting a 1/3rd of the way through, and though I didnโ€™t need any more motivation (as itโ€™s so far a very interesting read on the whole Theranos rise & fall) definitely want to finish it this weekend now

just really, REALLY interesting to me from a human psychology point of view of the reality distortion field that existed around the company surely fueled by Silicon Valley FOMO, but in a field (biotech) where you'd expect peer reviewed results to be like, a critical deliverable before investing???

vintage Leviโ€™s are usually stupid expensive, but found these 1970s โ€œAction Slacksโ€ for cheap and now I can be a disco cowboy ๐Ÿชฉ๐Ÿค

finally made it back to the tailorโ€™s to pick up the several pair of pants I dropped off to be hemmed ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿชก๐Ÿงต this is my favorite pair out of the bunch I dropped off because of the pattern and flare (it came with 2 inch cuffs so opted to keep them as-is)

(and yes my belt is much too long, but Iโ€™m a smol bean and it came with the vintage SP belt buckle)

ding, another 30 days and another month, and just one more to 2 years! canโ€™t believe it, but guess time really flies when youโ€™re clean and sober! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

idk if itโ€™s the case for other Alamo Drafthouses, but I appreciate how consistent the experience is at the one I go to, where all audience members STFU in a movie I am hyper aware/able to fixate on noises/voices around me, and nothing ruins a movie more than someone murmuring 3 rows away in a movie

you are what you eat, and so in this case, Iโ€™m thin, sweet and fruity~ ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ๐Ÿ“โœจ

old phone was too familiar and frustration free, so decided to change that ๐Ÿคญ (kiddingโ€ฆ kind of! canโ€™t spell frustration without FUN though, and it is fun to use!)

cool, cool, Iโ€™ll just sit by the door then listening to the doorbell whilst furiously refreshing UPSโ€™s page ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

the real winner is the friendship between us once weโ€™ve conquered our murderous rage (or something, I forget how this trope goes)

Be honest if you had to fight ur sona to the death are you winning or not

after a week of constant meetings and 9+ hour days to get work in for a project outside of those meetings, my calendar is empty, my tasks are complete and I'm sitting here like...

weather: slightly cool and cloudy me: YEEEEEEEAH, ITS RAMEN TIME!!! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ๐Ÿœ

this other dev I'm working with consistently makes changes to his software without telling me, leading to my software (which connects to his) totally breaking until I ask him to explain what changes he made and now he wants ME to write documentation for HIS software???

Pre-order surprise arrival! These gallery cars are so gorgeous, Rapido just keeps killing it with their N Scale releases, cannot wait to get my Caltrain Bombardier cars! (And hope they eventually do a Caltrain gallery car too!)

two of them ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘– friend bought a pair of same glow in the dark jeans I picked up a bit ago, but they didnโ€™t fit them so I was gifted them, now Iโ€™ve got two!

all excited to get done with work 'cause I got cork roadbed in the mail for my N Scale module but in shipment it appears all the cork strips got tangled up together, so they're now all warped ๐Ÿ˜ญ flattening them out with wood sheets and weights but was looking forward to gluing them down after work ๐Ÿ˜ข

Spent Sunday morning at Half Moon Bayโ€™s pumpkin and art festival and came back with lots of pumpkin treats, but also these two gorgeous framed canvas prints of vintage transportation ads because: planes, trains and California!

Great evening seeing John Mulaney up at the Mountain Winery! Really pretty venue that I really should try to go to more things at!

granted itโ€™s on the top of a hill with a single road leading to it, so itโ€™s quite an ordeal to leave, but on the plus side creeping down it in a line of cars recharged 1% of my battery so my trip home had the highest average mi/kWh Iโ€™ve ever seen ๐Ÿคญ

Pumpkin pie for breakfast? Donโ€™t mind if I do! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ๐Ÿฅง

dude rolled past me blasting Vivaldiโ€™s Four Season from some unseen Bluetooth speaker like an absolute chad of a lad cycle swag off the charts ๐Ÿšฒ

saying see ya soon to these slacks before handing them over to the tailor ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿถ (thankfully just a week to wait before the alterations are done)

been a minute since I've spotted furries locally while out and about but the Hyena Agenda shirt on one and the Tee K.O. shirt on the other made it obvious ๐Ÿคญ

ended up waiting to drop these new pants off at the tailors and glad I did - wore them out to dinner tonight and got several compliments from strangers ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘– (And rewarding myself with some guava & pineapple gelato for finding them ๐Ÿจ)

four pairs of vintage slacks arrived today, but as expected they all needed hemming (imma short king after all ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘‘) this pair is by far the loudest and I LOVE so in love with them! However theyโ€™re just slightly too long (but not too long to show them off before dropping them off at my tailor!)

before I got clean and sober I was probably ~80 drinks a week. A "good" day for me was half a 750ml bottle of 100 proof vodka, a "bad" day the entire bottle ๐Ÿ˜ฐ (idk how my liver managed to survive that, but so grateful it did and I didn't do permanent damage!)

If you're not familiar with the alcohol consumption by decile chart, it's a real eye opening look at what being a hardcore alcoholic is like
