Good morning everyone! I just opened Instagram to a story of a friend spinning around in the air with some fire fans while suspended by her hair and now I'm not feeling so accomplished today. 😂

Today I learned something new!

Okaerillu! Eating some cheese and chatting! www.twitch.tv/illuminadora

Vale Jane Goodall. And thank you to my friend for posting on FB (reminding me) that she and I, plus two other women, were a full tech team supporting a documentary screening followed by a live Q&A Jane Goodall at our old venue. That it happened on International Women's Day was perfection.

Sooooooo, catch-up stream tomorrow morning? Last (?) Okaerillu before I leave Japan and return home?

Scammer created a fake account of my Dad's Facebook profile. Joke's on you, pal - he's been dead for 12 years.

Ahhhh, it's October! The month of change! The end of a project, the move back home, the shift to focus on streaming and me as a creative (!!!) AND I start therapy today.

Vtubers, what is the one food you eat but really shouldn't? Today I've had sandwiches, pasta, beer and now my face and eyes are super itchy because I'm allergic to wheat.

📣SCHEDULE UPDATE!📣 ⏰12:30AM CST (GMT -5)⏰ 😱SPOOKY MONTH😱 🫵BE THERE GIGABYTES!🫵 🎨Eyeris Daemon

It's the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show this year! I feel like I should do something for it...

I just found a Twitter account of mine I'd completely forgotten about. It doesn't have much there, but it was from a time when I thought it was a good idea to study undergrad psych/sociology at the same time as post-grad writing. Now my head is filled with thoughts of Stardew.

One good thing about not going to TGS - I have this weekend to really start thinking about which direction I want my content to go.

I couldn't say it at the time, but the other week Chiitan was at the place where I work and I was too stuck in meetings to go and get a photo. But we love Chiitan in this house.

NOOOOO, I left it too late to buy Tokyo Game Show tickets and it's all sold out. 😭

ALARMS OFF, INTENSE WORK PERIOD IS OVER!!

People panic emailing/messaging me last minute about contracted staff numbers and rostered time. Please, I've been banging on about this for months now and how this needs to be sorted ahead of time. Of course I've already taken care of everything I can. 💅

Friends, I know this isn't the stuff I normally post about. But how good is pooping? I'm never going to take a normal poop for granted again. This comment was brought to you by a major IBS flare up.

Trying to shift my body clock this week back to early, early mornings because I start work at 4am one day next week. Also, my 'drink water' reminder app went off during a meeting last night. I thought I'd disabled the sound so you're welcome colleagues for helping to disperse exhausted tension.

Helloooooo friends! I think I need to properly focus on IRL work and sleep to get me through the crunch that is the next 11 days. So if you don't hear a lot from me know that I'm well, just trying to survive a crazy period.

Looks like I'll be in town for Supanova Brisbane this year. Cosplay idea is brewing...

Man, I love having to repeat myself multiple times for basic processes. *Throws toys out of pram*

Success! I bought a suitcase and these adorable shot glasses.

My body may be conspiring against me, but I'm going to brave the weekend shopping crowds and head out to Don Quijote.

Learning more about migraine symptoms today. Fun.

Good morning! The good news is the typhoon made landfall and the metro is still running. No WFH for me today.

Weather talk aside, work is occupying most of my time and energy right now. THE GOOD NEWS IS 42 DAYS UNTIL I'LL BE BACK HOME STARTING MY NEW JOB AS FULL TIME STREAMER! aka unemployed by choice because I'm burnt out as fu...

Now we play the waiting game of "do I get to WFH tomorrow?"

It finally happened. Someone walked into work today and said "Well, hello Illuminadora" - yes, using my streamer name and not my government name. 😂 (don't worry I haven't been doxxed, she's a fellow streamer who I worked with IRL years ago)

Good morning everyone! I woke up super early for no reason in a panic, managed to go back to sleep but then had the most unsettling dream around work. 😭

Chatting to a new person at work today, they asked me about my plans after this gig. Said I'm going to take some time off to focus on game streaming/content creation. They LITERALLY scooted their chair over to me to talk about video games because they'd just worked on Quakecon.

Circus people are just built different. Opened up my Instagram to a post by a friend who was casually doing a one arm handstand by a pool. Oh, and she's six months pregnant too.

I went to Tokyo to watch a friend perform at the Harajuku Omotesando Genki-matsuri Festival - Super Yosakoi! www.super-yosakoi.tokyo/eng/ This video isn't her group, I need to edit that one first.

Man, I love Tokyo.

Field trip!

Yippee, I managed to sleep in and get to collab with my friend @klickyvt.bsky.social today! Not sure if I'll stream or it'll just be on her channel. Going to see how much energy I have after a big work meeting.

Hi friends, I know I mentioned maybe putting a schedule out but let's be real - the next month and a bit at work are going to be intense. Soooo, no schedule until at least then. Maybe not until mid-October.

Collab with @klickyvt.bsky.social next week!!

Won't be streaming this weekend BUT will be spending the time getting ready to move back to a more regular streaming schedule next week.

Good morning! 🌞 I'll be back to more regular streaming next week but in the meantime I'm thinking about starting Subnatuica on Sunday. Time TBC but I'll give you all advance warning.

Entering my mermaid arc.

You know what, I started today not feeling great. Pushed through, tried a stream, ended up having good chats with friends AND managed to convince one to finally buy the Switch she's wanted for years but was traumatised after a salesperson questioned why she'd want one with "but you're an adult?!"

It may not be much, but tomorrow at 10am JST it's time for No Sleep For Kaname Date!

*stands up on soapbox with megaphone* ATTENTION EVERYONE! No Sleep For Kaname Date is now out! Stand by for streaming on Sunday morning JST! store.steampowered.com/app/2752180/...

You know, the more I read about the Vshojo implosion and my/close peeps experience working with other entertainment companies it really is laughable with how amateurish these things are managed in the real world.

Minto 😭💚

At a party talking with people about how they threw house parties as teenagers when parents went away. Now, I didn't but I DID throw a party, invited friends from school and my parents had no idea until others asked what to bring. I was 7 and that party did go ahead. Peaked too young.

Work meeting yesterday for the new project. Me: I already have a freediving and scuba refresher booked that day, so I can't do meetings. New Boss: Well, my wife and I both dive and have Instagrams where we post photos of nudibranches so support you doing that on your RDO. 🤩

Chat, in the past two days I have 1) gone for a run 2) done my basic kettlebell workout 3) spent some time reminding my legs what flexibility is. I deserve a gold star, please and thank you.

Gurilla stream - will we die today? The Long Dark long road to 1000 Days Achievement! www.twitch.tv/illuminadora
