Why productivity is down…

Listening to opera and answering emails.

Damnit @britaustin.bsky.social they’ve found my weakness.

Selfie to commemorate finally getting a cup of tea after discovering mid making breakfast that my housemate’s dog had consumed several foil wrapped chocolates this morning between her going to work and my waking up. Drove his tail to his mom. (she works at a vet clinic)

I was Very impressed with the re-characterization of Beast in this. It was jarring at first but it grew on me quickly once I saw him actually interact. #broadwayinrichmond #beautyandthebeast

Surprisingly, not all crinkly bags contain Goblin treats. I am as shocked as you are.

Some of the paw prints I found in the woods today. It was a good walk.

When did I become a person who went to multiple meetings in a week? Help.

I am thankful for the people who have checked in on me before this storm. Folks offered to grab extra provisions while they are out, and offered their extra camp stoves in case power goes out. My friends are amazing and we spend so much time focusing on taking care of each other in different ways.

Gothic big bird strikes again.

Pro tip: if you are already drunk and just found out one of your friends is dying, do Not go back and read texts from your friend who died a couple of years ago and suddenly realize you are approaching the date when they had to get rushed to the hospital for the surgery they never recovered from.

I have to do paperwork… Goblin has to sit on my keyboard. We are at an impasse.

Places with people.

Had in unnecessarily emotional labor filled day… but there is currently a kitten buried in my jacket and that makes everything better

Apparently my vet tech was at the #hellaverse #burlesque and #drag show that I just did.

.....Christmas....

Was wished a happy Yule at a store today. A delightful first.

I have come to the conclusion that apple’s Garage Band is the single most un-intuitive piece of sound editing software I have ever encountered.

Goblin sits like a cat. Vimes sits like a Dude.

Things I have learned today: 1. Adjusting to long pointy demon nails took surprisingly little time, and the magic and quick slights I was hoping to pull off while wearing them are totally doable. 2. Doing up the tiny pearl buttons on my vintage gloves on the other hand… I will need help. #magician

Oh no! We need a vase or something we can put these flowers in! Quick! Drink this wine so we can rinse the bottle out and use it! #wine #wedidwhatwehadtodo @autumnsketching.bsky.social

Found a heart while checking on my wig.

Have to check what time my meeting is tomorrow to set my alarm. When the hell did I become a person who goes to meetings?! That use to only be a haunt thing for me, now suddenly I have several a week.

How sleep deprived are we? I just spent ten minutes looking for a shirt I was already wearing. #hauntseason #hellweek

The new Frankenstein by Del Toro is stunning. #movie #Frankenstein

When someone dies, you see their ghost. Not as a spector or some phantom, but in the little movements and mannerisms of strangers. Someone with the same build or similar glasses. A ghost that only you can see, and a hurt that only you can feel. #greif #mourning #processing #memories

@autumnsketching.bsky.social is a little gremlin foraging berries while we are fishing. I swear we packed so much damn food why are you eating the berries off the side?

Too many things happened today. Not just *that* but also like irl stuff that actually affects me personally. I feel like I need time to process it, and time is not a thing I currently have.

Today I learned that chestnuts are sharp.

Goldwing with Chris while their wife is away. Apparently they have a thing for pomegranate. #rva

🎟️ Seats going fast for Dr Brian Nguyen’s Dose of Deception! Secure ur spot now @ Poe’s Magic in the historic Lord Baltimore Hotel 🏨✨ Don’t miss this mind-twisting night of magic 🃏

Went out, listened to live #jazz in #rva and did #magic tricks for drunk friends. Overall a very delightful night.

I look over and my son is sitting very properly at the table. #cat #acatnamedsamvimes

Please.

Vimes has paid his rent for the month. This little guy was saves from cat and deposited outdoors. #acatnamedsamvimes

Been pulling “ doubles” all week between my different obligations and I am beyond exhausted.

How young is too young for a magician? In my admittedly limited experience, if the basic game of peek-a-boo is still entertaining, then don’t bother booking a magician. Call us for the Advanced peek-a-boo. #magician

I shall!

None of this is about crime. It's about control. It's a power grab, plain and simple.

This was in my feed right under a Nightvale post and not gonna lie it took me a second.

I wonder if Chewy would let me just order the box? #cat #pets

Sounds right.

If he falls off the roof and you put on his suit you become the new president of the United States

Going through my gig salad, I have finally made the decision I need to charge more for weekend days than weekdays. Every booking I take on a weekend is time I loose on my other projects. #icantitshauntseason #magician #gigsalad

We have just exposed Brit to the #icon that is Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served.

Tried the #19crimes sparkling wine for our #ghoulsnight to pair with our Indian food and old horror movies. Mr.Dog did an excellent job.
