I had the realization with this war that this was purposely started during Ramadan. These people are unapologetic and evil. NPR just blasting this evil rhetoric. Yeah no. I don't give a fuck. Their propaganda is vile and airing it in a national broadcast implies your unwillingness to fight back.

I added some philosophy to my library yesterday: Montaigne, David Hume, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Søren Kierkegaard. All interesting to me. The complete Essays by Montaigne is a doozy. I imagine I will be locked up for a while (over 1100 pages).

Found a paragraph relevant to today. Human, All Too Human Friedrich Nietzsche

I leave for a weekend, and there is all this chaos. I thought about just getting on the Appalachian Trail for a while. What a wild stream of emotions this past weekend.

Some pretty sunset pics from this weekend.

Potential new opportunity coming my way :3

I think I'm all set for now for my readings for the year. One suggestion I was told is to expand your interests and give a book 100 - (your age). I think that spread is good enough for now x3

Got some reads in queue :3

I’m beyond frustrated with how my insurance transition was handled. I terminated my Surest plan at the end of last year to move to a new UHC plan, but our benefits manager apparently never deactivated the old coverage.

I literally did all the work on this query and all the dev had to do was review why the application then opens up a new tab and blank page. I didn't do anything fancy. I went in and they changed a whole bunch of columns and then had the nerve to say they followed the requirements. 🙃

I'm glad that I'm getting a refund to offset the $1200 in medical expenses coming up next week x.X. I need this stopppp.

After months of waiting, I'm finally starting a new med for weight loss. It will be expensive for a while but I've paid off other debts to help offset the cost. I also have to get another MRI but this time of my pelvis. I felt like yesterday for the first time I'm getting answers.

We won't cover this medication but if you get this surgery, we will because then you will have lifelong appointments. Totally makes sense /s

Coworker invite me to their wedding. It was a Palestinian & Iraqi mix. First time ever experienced something like this. I was given a thobe, danced with them, and ate sooo much food. I was bestowed thank you and met some great ppl. Also the sword dance was awesome even if the groom was super high xD

Time to start the 15 week timer. My only worry are these weekly Tuesday meetings/lectures right after work x.x.

"Yo, we in the Catacomb, Pipe Zone" Same

Reminds me of my friend telling me one guy was talking about how he had all these classified documents, the FBI was "after them", gas lit the entire Reddit group, and then out of nowhere said hey, I'm selling my rap album.

It's been a while for this hike. I missed this. Very low water levels. It's crazy different in the summer time.

I definitely know that I am not into e-stiming lol. I hate NCS. I feel like an electrified fox afterwards. X.x

I'm also glad I'm getting rid of this useless med insurance. Getting all these surprise bills afterwards has been terrible this year >.>. $50 pre op bill, and to tell me that I'm too fat for the surgery table.

Applying for graduation this next spring feels good. I'm so ready to be finished :D

I wish my clothes wouldn't all suddenly fall apart during the holidays x.x

Pawbert makes me feel things >.>

I got my final grades today. Finally done with classes for the year :3. I start back up Jan 12 with my last two and then graduate in May.

The "I'm Soup" mug :3

I got an ominous text from my father today saying that he has to call me later this week about my grandfather. Didn't say why, but this is obviously not good...

"Don't you ever get tired of chicken?" Me: "Do you know what I am?" :3

Finished with one class today. I don't know why they made the final due today, but whatever. Two things left to do in my other class, and then I'm done with the semester.

Nothing like getting beat down for something that is out of my control 😔

The paper is underway and is almost complete. I should be able to complete it by tomorrow, hopefully. Afterwards, I have to give a 10-minute presentation... to no one. I don't know why these profs are so insistent on presentations when we don't present to anyone >.>

I thought the owl character in Gunfire Reborn was a meme for his ability being super long. Well, a new record, the lion character. This game has evolved into a fighting game, requiring you to remember all the movesets lol.

Omg...what are you doing prof x.x. They keep changing the deadlines of discussion posts and the titles, so now I don't know what I am supposed to track as far as my submissions and grades x.x. For example, I submitted D3 two weeks ago, but now D6 has become D3, and D6 is no longer available.

You know things are about to get worse when they start hiring way more offshore than US employees in my workplace. It's gonna come all of a sudden to some, but since the beginning of the year, our work has more than doubled since the beginning of this year. That should tell you how housing is.

Yes, also me.

I don't really know how best to put this without any context, but cons have lost their charm for me. From my perspective, all I see are friends having to handle other people's bad decisions and then they get all the shit for other things out of control.

I've been reading "I Cheerfully Refuse" by Leif Enger, and even though it is somewhat parallel to our world, I still enjoy spending time with individuals, even though everything is burning around us. I know I don't reach out often, but I still think about all our con adventures over the years.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and the OST is the GOAT. Such an amazing game, story, and music. Even though I don't understand the lyrics, you can feel them. youtu.be/3kMbTzomh94?...

I also found out last night what's going on with my hip from the MRI I had Thursday: "There is suspicion for right acetabular labral tear in the upper outer aspect. Cam morphology could predispose to impingement." At least I have an idea what is going on now. Now to wait for doc follow up.

Finished the hackathon today with my team. We ended up not placing. It's kinda hard to know what you did wrong when you aren't given feedback. Time for a big drink.

Me when I became soup.

The feels in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ☕. The soundtrack is awesome too 😍

Registered for my last two classes. I could have sworn one of them was 7 weeks, but oh well. Looking to grad in May 2026 :3

All finished for these two classes 🎉. I have a small break before I start my new ones following Monday. After that, I have two more and I will graduate in May 2026.

One giant group project finished. One more giant paper to go.

Last night we finished an almost 6 month campaign of The King's Dilemma. I am King Fox :3

Bananas foster latte :9. That's a first for me.

Good times in Pensacola Beach :3

Long day at the beach. Thankfully no toasty fox.
