A moody sunset.

How looking at about 80% of all news stories makes me feel

I drink a glass of chilled water (no ice) and have a delayed reaction to it: my core temperature cratered.

When someone I don't know addresses me as "Family".

This Patti Lapel blanket is where I am at emotionally. www.pattilapel.com/collections/...

Finally found the connective tissue for a scene fragment I had kept at the bottom of a document file for ages. Six good pages.

A good soundtrack to lock into.

"We found the perfect format that best captures the majesty of cars going vroom: a variable bitrate."

You, uh, doing okay there Medicine Hat News?

Found a place that has cheap onigiri and other Japanese 7-11 style prepackaged items that's semi-nearby.

Worked a gig with someone who used gig-specific emails, which makes them all but impossible to reach, as all those emails are defunct.

That's a wrap on Aphelion. A decent story that is a game under duress.

This is nice, but I missed the moment where three or four crows were flying into the wind, perfectly silhouetted by the ripples.

I'm forever haunted by the halfassed Trailer Voice Guy going "Uh-oh!" (~1:44) Like, buddy, fucking sell me on this testicular trauma. Your action star is going to make this guy's nards explode like a Michael Bay gas station. You can put some pepper on that Uh-oh.

*Turns to camera slowly* I'm going to do a Tourism tomorrow because there's a chance of a free breakfast burrito.

Paid the cost to drink the Boss (didn't know they had Boss branded tea)

brb crossing streams

Had to look into this one. Yes, the show is at *that* Katz's Deli, not some venue being cheeky.

A free boba tea and an icebox cake slice. Things could be worse.

Okay, I think I have a vague plan for tomorrow. Now to wait for the daily event sites to update after midnight, cross check those, and see if anything can be injected into the itinerary. It feels perverse to be unemployed and have an itinerary.

This Spectacle Theater trailer for Mindfield got me to rent the film (curiously, only available via Apple) and today finally nudged me to nab a blu of it. If Michael Ironside demands LSD from you, buddy, you better give it to him!

Humble Games Bundle: Dead Rising ($35 for all) buff.ly/6YWhdDp #ad

They are working on my floor and there are ~paint fumes~.

Already two jobs where I have to sit down and seriously consider if I want to work at a place that is steered by Proven Bastards.

Signed up for unemployment.

go ahead. cite the deep magic to me again. you old witch! go ahead. i was there when it was written, like that matters. piece of shit!

This is, by far, the absolute worst time for me to be considering an eames chair...

It's like they ran out of Ancient Aliens to watch and found a whole basement level subgenre.

First time in a while I felt enough focus to try to continue writing on (thing). Sometimes I worry that I'm doing the writing equivalent of sudoku, trying to fill in empty spots determined by what has already been written in.

They will continue until morale improves.

Oh, right, the weed day is nigh.

Weird sensation, clearing out my work computer and render drive. Five years of this, all gone, and pouring digital bleach on everything just to be safe.

Talking to a guy at the counter, trying to articulate how I can't plan anything due to my schedule as "I didn't know if I was going here until I got here." Which sounds bonkers and I own that.

With my employment now back on the bubble, my original plans for today, going HAM at a round of Arts and Crafts open houses seems...ill timed.

Tonight, a more intimate facemelting show.

A facemelter of a show was had.

This is such a weird 10 dollar pile.

Task dropped on me after 6pm, leading to crashing my system in the process of seeking out a font, only to realize that the font is only accessible on After Effects, and not a OS level.

Put my social security card in a Van Gogh Pokémon card sleeve for a little extra protection.

Can't tell if I woke up in a cold sweat because of excessive bed sheets or the dream that had me shouting to a loved one that they had about 30 seconds to get to the car before something awful hit.
