Hiked nearby Coyote Ridge Trail the other day in a vain attempt to make it to Devil’s Backbone out in the sticks (due to time), but just about when I had to turn around, I ran into a herd of deer. While it was tricky to get shots of the group, a curious onlooker was quite the photogenic one 🦌📸🐺

After a few years of non-stop use, my worn Blizzacks needed to be retired. While I know it’s terrible to ride on winter tires over several summers, I’ve now corrected that by getting VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PRO+ XL all-weather tires today for the WRX. Feels like a new car again!

Happy 30th anniversary, Steamed Hams!

Was out in Denver for a much needed escape from work, but back to the grind tonight. Estes tomorrow w/ a friend of mine who just moved to the area, then I’m planning on updating all my social media w/ pics from the last few weeks on Monday. Sorry for the delay, been a busy month to say the least.

Just found out my co-worker’s wife gave birth to his kid today (congratulations, tho!). He’s on paternal leave for a month at least. We’re already a skeleton crew turned into just two guys. My apologies if I’m afk a bit this month, depending on the severity of the workload 💻💀

Have a few event posts in the works, but the ongoing drama at home has had me at a standstill for a while. After tearing into the problem directly, the individual in question is finally getting help & I can move on from being the mediator. Sorry yall, it’s been stressful lately.

Well, looks like I’m taking a stab at ProRes filming after all: Found a cheap 1TB MagSafe SSD that met the requirements to record up to ProRes LOG format, and with the upcoming San Fransisco trip, I can’t think of a better time to put the iPhone 17 Pro Max the test.

60k+ mile tune up on the WRX is FINALLY complete. Fun watching my car “vape” for the first time when we blasted the carbon off the valves with chemicals. Spark plug + oil change replacement went well! Eternally grateful for my mechanic friends helping me out on this :3

Heard real-life baby alligator noises and had to do an animation.

Reduced my $4k+ hospital bill SIGNIFICANTLY via the hospital’s charity program, saved up enough to get the remaining parts to finish maintenance on the WRX (working on it tonight), AND got rent covered. Busting ass this week paid off, wild how expensive everything is now :/

I went to an anime convention today and came back with a sacred cultural artifact from my youth. Thrilled to finally own this series on Blu-ray ^^

Seeing Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Stanley Hotel last night was an incredible experience. Haven’t swing danced in over a decade, paired excellent with an old fashioned & an overly energetic crowd. Shame I couldn’t make their second set this evening, eager for more 🎶 🥃 🐺

Last night of the work week, then taking a few days for myself after getting through all the chaos at home. Spending most of Friday in Estes Park deep in the mountains to draw, hang out with the elk, & see Squirrel Nut Zippers for the 1st time at the Stanley Hotel 🪕🎻🎺🥁👻🐺

Had a ROUGH week, so going hard on this glorious St. Patrick’s Day. 5 pints of Guinness with the traditional Dropkick Murphys + Flogging Molly throughout the day, I feel the spirit of dear St. Patrick flowing through me brighter than the chlorophyll on a four leaf clover 🍺🐺🇮🇪

In just a few days, due to the actions of my roommate’s dad, I’m left in shock as a company I was helping build with him from the ground up is now possibly non-existent because of his arrest. Actions have consequences, be mindful of who you’re hurting when you act on emotions.

Lost my job, I need commissions to work on ASAP ed.dog will stream them next week

Not sure if I’ll need to move, but listening to my roommate’s parents constantly fight upstairs has drained what little happiness I feel at home. Wish I didn’t have to have roommates, but that’s the world I live in. I would give up quite a bit for the opportunity to live alone…

Sometimes folks unload stuff so heavy it really messes with me. Sad thing is, it’s completely out of my control, and it sucks to know I can’t help. And folks wonder why I’m becoming more of a recluse…it’s hard to keep losing folks in my life & I’m terrified this’ll happen again

Forgot I promised my roommate’s parents that I’d not only be watching over their 7 pets while they’re gone for a week, but also working (a portion of) one of their day jobs…all while I’m working my main overnight gig. It’ll be good money, but dude…it’s going to be rough.

Got the first of two bills: $650 just for a single ultrasound. Been “bed rotting” a few days in depression in response…it’ll be hard to pay these bills with what I make. It’s insane the USA has no universal healthcare, no wonder I haven’t seen the doctor in a decade…

Dare I say I enjoyed GOAT a bit more than Zootopia 2? The animation pure eye candy, however, the oddball Mercedes product placement threw me out of the immersion at times. Otherwise, great film and one I’d recommend! Glad my roommate woke me up to see a matinee :3

I’ve never bought a ticket faster in my life, see y’all at Denver Ska Fest this May! Haven’t seen The Aquabats since 2012 & grew up with Five Iron Frenzy, DHC should be awesome live as well!

I’m so happy MGS4 is FINALLY being ported to the upcoming MGS Master Collection Volume 2. Wild that it has been exclusively on PS3 for 17 years, about darn time! Also amped to play Death Stranding 2 since it’s coming to PC at last (still haven’t had a reason to buy a PS5 yet).

It’s been a fun week off; hanging out with friends, Super Bowl party with Denver furs, a light dusting of snow up in Estes Park on Tuesday, followed by Furry Pinball in Loveland last night before I clocked in for work. Been busy overall, but there’s a lot to look forward to coming up!

Thank you for coming to our last bowling event! @blyze.bsky.social 📷

Pulled the trigger and pre-ordered Resident Evil: Requiem. I no longer do pre-orders on games for a LOT of reasons, but the recent RE series has always been solid with their delivery and I couldn’t be more excited to play the 8th main title in the series later this month ^^

Pup hood discourse again, really? With all the evils exposed in the Epstein Files, y’all are really going after people for wearing a hood? As a bondage gimp, I find the whole discourse hilarious. I guess it’s normal for me, but some of y’all need to get mad about REAL issues.

Been having trouble trying to sleep the last few days, but we had stuff in the fridge to make mimosas, so I’m trying to get a good meal and some of these in me before bed🥂 🐺✨

Unintentionally found out the Super Bowl is next Sunday when I’m off work. Been a while since I’ve cared about who’s playing, but I am excited to see my longtime favorite punk-rock band, Green Day, and Bad Bunny play for the halftime show. Should be a good time!

Dancing outside on a below freezing, clear, starry night to Daft Punk’s “One More Time” with a Samuel Adam’s Cold Snap ale hits just right. I love winter <3

Every time I have to drive myself & others in rough winter conditions, I’m grateful I went with a WRX for my daily. The 50/50 AWD took everything last night’s snow & ice threw at it, esp with Blizzaks. I often forget just how good the platform is until I truly need it >>;

Went to Idaho Springs with the boys for a dip in the Indian Hot Springs and a heavenly crafted Colorado-pizza from Beau Jo’s. Wrapped up the evening with a furry bowing meet in Denver and late-dinner at Applebees. Good stuff, fantastic way to spend a Sunday <3

Despite the lengthy ER visit yesterday, I did get a positive moment where the local elk bros decided to chill in my neighborhood. Ended up arriving late to my appointment, but it’s not often I see them this far from the foothills, so it was a lovely surprise <3

Having a medical emergency & I’m more worried about the bill vs the serious injury itself. I don’t know how I’ll afford the ultrasound, yet along the possible surgery that needs to be performed to fix this. I’m scared shitless tbh, this has the potential to bankrupt me…

It’s been beautiful to see snowfall back home in (north) Florida, meanwhile, we’re FINALLY getting a little downfall ourselves tonight in CO. Finalized travel, hotel, & transport for the upcoming San Francisco trip in May too. Excited to revisit the other Bay Area ^^

In the middle of a work week and admittedly, I’ve been on quite an anime binge thanks to various subscriptions. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion (for the 1st time), and completely out of left field, I find myself now hooked on Jujutsu Kaisen.

✨🍾HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026🍾✨ To all my friends and loved ones, thank you for always being there for me. I know the previous year was a rough one, but I’m thankful to still be here through y’all’s perseverance & grace. May 2026 bring forth blessings of all kinds for everyone <3

2025 was an odd one. Started off genuinely horrible in the first half, but after therapy + spending time with friends, I’ve slowly been recovering & finding my place again. Hoping the new year brings forth opportunities to heal & thrive, not just for myself, but everyone!

Happy to say the annual NYE pic is mostly done, but I’m calling it a night from here. I’ll post the completed piece at midnight next year :3c

Merry Christmas ❄️🎄🐺✨

Christmas Eve is going to be a rough one: lost #Whamageddon only an hour ago & came to work to find I’m one of 2 people holding the company together tonight. It’s either going to be brutal or absolutely dead. Hoping for the latter >>; And I still have to work Christmas Day too.

this video is what all true warriors strive for @tahoewolf.bsky.social @morttheunwise.bsky.social

Got a sore throat right before the work week starts. Not a great way to end a three week vacation, but at least I work from home, so it’s not the end of the world 💻💀

The only kind of traffic jam I deal with in north Colorado, but given it’s the entire local elk herd, I don’t mind the wait <3

Dear #whamageddon faithful, I have an important question: Does one lose the challenge by only hearing the original or do remixes/covers count? Heard two remixes of Last Christmas back-to-back without any clips from the original song, so I genuinely don’t know if that counts >>;

After a particularly rough week post-MFF, happy to say I’m a lot better after a trip to Idaho Springs for the historic Indian Hot Spring’s main pool. Huge shoutout to Anna & Dexter for setting this up, that plus Colorado style pizza at Beau Jo’s was a killer combo <3

Despite the ordeal with Amtrak on the return trip home, it was actually quite the fun adventure in Ottumwa, Iowa and one I’m not soon going to forget. And funny enough, the refund + travel voucher will help me cover my trip to San Francisco this spring/summer, so it all works out <3

No lie this has been an absolute shitshow on Amtrak's part. They had zero communication with us and a lot of us juts had to call to figure our own plans out. To their credit they got us hotel rooms. That's it.
