The weirdest part about being a grey muzzle, at some point you will find brilliant people you can learn from. You will seek out their opinions as they blog etc. Then you will find out they are two decade younger then you. You swallow you ego, and become better. Or don't, and become a problem.

The Canadian 12 Days of Christmas and the New Orleans 12 Days of Christmas I heard visiting my mom's side growing up are fighting in my head for dominance

My boss and the manager of the team i want to join: Oh hey the job opened up that you really wanted, you should apply! Me: OK! The application system, immediately after applying: Sorry no, rejected MFW: picardWTFpose.jpg

I've defended the previous fureh hotel/current calfurry xmas hotel cause the staff does what they can and the mothballed sports bar is so useful for furry events. But the charm of possibilities wore out this time. No particular complaint, the place just really felt like a dump this time

It's that time of year again, time for the @calfurry.ca xmas party~ Kady Werewing & Robin Hearts keeping us entertained until the dinner. Me and Tannyk get to work after that

The song Long Time by Boston has lyrics such as 'I'll take what I find' and 'it's just outside your front door' This is a song about porch piracy

LRP: If people think FOSS is a moral imperative vs big tech, they need to prioritize UI/UX. Or they should be honest that it's just a hobby for their niche use case or the 1% of people with similar brains There are a few great projects focusing UI/UX now and hopefully that mindset spreads fast

Thinking about how to return to streaming. I'd like to ease back in with something i can just hang out in, like Minecraft or Skyrim, but I don't have my Minecraft world set up yet and have to redo my Skyrim mod list again Someone tell these problems to a poor and sickly Victorian orphan

God new patches remind me why I love ffxiv so much. It's so nice seeing the FC lawn busy with life! We've got maybe 5-6 statics in the FC this set all going to take on the next tier!

Aw man one of bery's dogs got into my money bin full of cocaine again. And this was only 5 minutes in the opulent powder shower (Future border agents: this is a joke, it's snowing)

It's time for villainy. It's time for devilry. It's time... to use the company hole punch for personal use! Haha. HA-ha! 🌩⚡️MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! ⚡️🌩 #begaydocrimes

Dunno why but around 2011 a switch flipped in me and it's been hard to get through most tv or movies with a serious dramatic tone since. The cookie cutter emotional manipulation suddenly became obvious, like when a cat figures out the laser is the thing you're holding and stops chasing the dot

Lesson learned: don't be trying to do command line Linux stuff hungover

Also met a tiger at the fureh Xmas party named Stripes who was doing quick sketches of people and got this accurate picture of how i look irl

Tried a new one at karaoke last night, Friend Like Me from Aladdin. Got some work to do on the key change later but might wanna do this one more often

Trying not to blow all my vacation days out the gate again like I did last year, but it's been a long time. Taking the first full week off Jan off to sit around and do jack shit. Hopefully that tides me over a while

OK now it's done :3

For the first time as an adult: we have a tree (reusable) with lights and everything. Tannyk got all his nerdy ornaments on it and it's great :3

7.0 first time caught up with msq and did normals on content, 7.2 first savages & clear, 7.4 will be back to normals due to scheduling. So 7.2 will probably hold a special place, but too early to say

I'll tell you what I want what I really really want I wanna huh I wanna huh I wanna huh I wanna huh I wanna really really really wanna not be sick or injured anymore like the last month and a half :3

We play for fun and are pretty patient so don't worry if you've never done difficult content before!

It can't be a coincidence that I get sick most often as things chill out, right after finishing something big or before the weekend. Maybe I'm running on adrenaline all the time and don't notice being sick until relaxation time. Doesn't feel like it, but the pattern's there

Updating the karaoke song list binder for the first time since 2019. 2025 English catalog is almost 2x the size as all languages 6 years ago 😵‍💫 Good problem to have! There's something retro comforting about a binder, but probably won't update it ever again tbh. Recycle bin in 2030, use yer phone

The pipeline from "so bored but no energy for this project" through "I'll just bring this stuff to where it needs to be to get started later" to "wait I just finished the whole thing" is magical

For fureh itself next summer, waiting to see how other summer plans shape up. top prio is a trip to Vancouver & Seattle around the same time so need to figure out soon if there's time & money left over for fureh

Thinking about going to the Fureh xmas party next weekend, but waiting to see if it sells out. If it sells out that's fine, means if I went I'd've taken a spot from someone. But if it doesn't sell out in the next couple days, I'll go to support it and overstay my welcome at karaoke

I learned already that this is one of those dumb religious things in xiv. Most do NW, our static did NE. Had to fill 2 spots from pf once. they threw a fit and changed the markers without saying anything, caused a few wipes. My rule since then: if we need a pf fill, we need 2 pf fills cause I'm out

Oops, accidentally haven't left the house since getting home from work Tuesday. Now really want a change of scenery, but caught whatever plague tannyk has :<

Steve (hyenablood) got suspended ON THE EVE of Liminal dropping and the DAY before the LAST Bandcamp Friday of the year. I ain't got the reach he normally does, but he's not here to promote and hype like he usually can, so go fuckin BUY THIS ALBUM cobaltbloom.bandcamp.com/album/liminal

Only 15 days until we come together for a Calfurry Christmas! Don't miss out on this winter event, tickets are running out - Purchase yours now as they will not be available for purchase at the door. We hope we see you this holiday! 🎄 www.calfurry.ca/christmas

one thing i often tell folks who are looking for a computer on a budget; if your budget is only $400, you're way better off buying an older expensive computer for $400 that used to be $2000 vs a $400 brand new computer. yes same price, but the latter one was built to be a cheap-ass piece of shit

They say: Time, energy, and money, you can only have two. Two? In this economy? Got time now, depleted energy and money to get there 🙃 now taking ideas that are free and don't need me to move~

Still looking to sell my #fursuit! $900 or best offer.

Tempted to reactivate my barq but gotta hesitate. Every time I do, turns out i don't really have time for the people who want to hang out. And probably should make time for the people I already know first

May have gone a little nuts with the celebrations and might not be 100% at work tomorrow but that's fine~

✅️ Exam pass get ✅️ December start

Every time I sit here in the Core food court eating something, I can't help but remember the time is was sitting in this exact spot and noticed an old guy at the table next to me playing skyrim on a laptop in public with giant bazonga lactation mods

Just before xmas it'll be the 20th anniversary of the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny 1) Jesus, 20? 2) You can imagine if it came out just a few years later there'd be a lot more Marvel in it 3) Also if it came out more recently it might've ended with Bob Ross instead of Mr. Rogers

Tonight: ✅Finished second pass studying ✅Updated and tested the laptop I'll take the exam on and packed it for work tomorrow Tomorrow at work: 🟩After finishing for the day, go in the quiet pod there and do the exam So close to having free time for December :O

The cat needs to stop looking past me like he sees people moving around behind me in this empty room. it's late and the lights are dim let's not be playing mind games rn

It's really hard to be 100% off sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. New plan: run some tests to find out which fucks me up the worst and go 100% off that, sensible restrictions on the others. Hypothesis: it's the sugar actually.

XIV : The goal for the months until the next xpac is to casually get enough jobs to 100 that job isn't a barrier to finding a static when i raid again. 1 prdps, 1 mrdps, 2 melee, 1 sheal, 1 pheal, 2 tanks. Got the first 5 done. With all of them, can focus on finding the best time and culture fit

Wish I learned to prioritize in my own life earlier as well as I do at work. Probably because work is work and some shit just has to wait, but my life is MY life and I've wanted to have all my cakes and eat them too. Which always leads to no cakes and no eating. Getting better about that lately tho

Dogs have that social intelligence that lines up with humans well because their brains are trying to figure out what we want and get there Cats are really smart in their own way though, much smarter about getting what THEY want. Especially with navigation, they WILL get where they want to go

US early 1800s: the theory (mostly held in the south) that states can nullify federal laws helps fuel the civil war Canada 1982: "i know, let's explicitly add that to our constitution. what could possibly go wrong?"

Shit moved fast today, surprised the last chapter of the book was an exercise, no new info. Skipped to the practice test, got 87%. Noted what I got wrong or felt lucky on, will do a quick 2nd pass studying those. Looking good for real exam on or before the 2nd, then done with cert exam 4 of 5!

Headed to bed but have a few people unread rn with just a sticker or something similar. just letting everyone know I see you! haven't had the energy for small talk lately. I always get back to specific questions/topics cause I know what to say without much thought. My brain's backward like that

Adding to all the snow pics today. Bicycle season is definitely over now. Hopefully by springtime the paths closed for construction will be open and i can get off all the roads!

Was reminded of this clip when something similar happened to someone in a chat. Hope i can get back to this soon in the new year, we'll see :0 youtube.com/shorts/EIWhe...
