That's a wrap on The Outer Worlds 2. Feeling mixed at the moment, but when it works best, it gives a palpable sense of "What a waste" as you move through a senseless war.

*in a straight-jacket, shouting through bared teeth* YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THERE IS A BACKPACK! RELEASING! THIS WEEK! IN JAPAN! I NNNEEEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! *the door slot is shut, I continue shouting, muffled*

"Whoa hey sorry but uh are you free today? On your day off? Right now? Like right now? For a non paid/favor shift?"

All is Sal, apparently.

One thing about getting deep into portage is that at some point, if you click on the wrong site, you slide from something for normal use to bags/slings that are designed to keep guns. Buddy, if you need a casual bag to keep a gun handy, instead of a holster, you've made some Choices.

What doing anything with other people feels like these days.

What's it like inside your head?

Six bucks and change for it! Brand new! Exclamation points!

One of those radio silent work days, no tasks, nothing on the to-do list...and an event I'd love to leave early to go to. Now something like hard-outing at 5:30pm feels fraught.

You know...horror!

Should I buy the complete series I worked on at a deep discount despite it being the absolute most stressful time of my life??

The settlement check came in.

RIP Ace Frehley. One of my favorite things on the planet is Frehley's bark at the end of KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK (1978). Please take 90 seconds and enjoy. youtu.be/rHoRmzB03dg?...

I watched the new Splinter Cell limited series and you know what? Chaos Theory's soundtrack still bangs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGQ_...

Synchronicity.

The deeply frustrating feeling of wanting to go to something but unfortunately being the most important person in the promo delivery pipeline.

Someone wants to look at the apartment.

"So you're pitching a long sleeve shirt with a graphic of our...hooded jacket?" "Yes."

This just seems impractical, even by absurdist popcorn bucket standards.

6am notification about a patch for something we already delivered, a dead pixel fix, but not enough to merit re-delivering everything.

Realizing there's a *theater* playing *Lifeforce* tomorrow.

So a movie I have been dithering on seeing landed on VOD, and after even more dithering (restoring some obliterated funds), I went to look how much a rental would be... And it can't be found digitally. "Rights issue." The film was released! In theaters! Little late for some lawyers to wake up.

Trying to wind down the night, mentally checklist everything going on in the upcoming week, and realizing there's a whole lotta unknowns barreling down at us.

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

UFO double feature via Forbidden Planet and @adamszym.bsky.social who came in for a signing.

Things have been so overcharged (three concurrent series hitting delivery phase) that when there's downtime I rapidly grow panicked. Am I missing some critical email? Is my connection bad? Have my credentials been revoked? Did the series get cancelled with extreme prejudice? Just spiraling.

When I complete a priority rush task at the expense of my evening's plans.

Three Jack Night

A preview of me at an upcoming knife show.

Rent's paid.

Trying to be responsible and refrain from a Cookie Opportunity this weekend.

On the subway, I notice someone drop an item as they leave. I get off, pick it up, and return it thinking "I've got time before the screening, I'll catch the next one." The next one was Delayed, until it was 1 minute away, then 11 minutes away, and then blew right past without stopping. Weird karma.

The work rhythm has been so out of whack this week (three shows for three networks) and now apparently the friday delivery isn't happening and I have no idea what's going to kick off.

oh boy work finally wrapped well what to do with the evening I guess listen to Frankie Teardrop while standing motionless looking out the window

Ant: Hey, everyone, it's the damnedest thing! Free lunch over here!

Just assume this is how your email finds me.

Had a planter spontaneously fall off a sill, had to trash it when I realized it was riddled with tiny bugs. It was more hive than plant. Had that one for five years.
