I walked up to a friend this morning very somberly. She asks what is wrong. I explain that the container she gave me with cookies is empty. We both crack up. But I want some more cookies!

That is some timing. School is out and the power goes out! I guess I don't have to fake productivity anymore 😜

Watching high school basketball to support my school and its players. I asked a player where the basketballs are. They tell me in the closet. Then realize that they need them. 🤦♂️😂

What happened to me? I have gone from never attending a Con to now soon headed to my fourth. I have gone from mail only commissions to pre-show commissions. I am interacting with artists and looking forward to these events. I am even going to do a day of cosplay at ECCC. I blame @lianakangas.com 😘

Some of my coworkers have never experienced needs. Their privilege shows when it comes to students.

Just heard one of the venues for the group stage of Olympic soccer 2028 is in San Jose. I guess I can finally achieve the dream of going to an Olympic event and not have to worry about travel, housing, food, etc.

I just get home and start talking to my brother. I hear a noise coming from the back. He asks if I heard it. I said yes and ask if he has someone hiding in the back. We laugh and go check the toilet. 😕

First day back after the mid-year break is always fun. New Wifi that requires you to download something first which turned into a cart before the horse situation. Fixed and then found a printing issue and an old hotspot that is still connected. Tech is fun.

I was hoping with all the rain that there would be less fireworks this year. I was wrong. Happy New Year!

I did not wake to becoming a billionaire. I had to go to work. But at least I will get to see happy faces. Oops it is finals week. Then we can relish misery together and look forward to two weeks off!

Adventures in parking. The lot is always full on Mondays for Dr. Appointments. I was circling and circling. Finally found a spot but I lost if because I had to park a kindly persons car. I am sure the grandmas got a kick out of a 6'1" guy hopping into their tiny car. Then circled some more

I had hoped to see some reasonable pricing when the groups were announced. NOPE!!! The M World Cup is just a money grab. I am expecting some empty stadiums. Boo FIFA! I would be one thing if you truly used that money to grow the sport. Some non-profit.

I love the para-educators at work. They are just fantastic. I treat them to lunch at the end of the semesters. I took a lunch order today and one said they felt guilty because they are not in my class this year. I pointed out all they do for my students. Not good enough. So I gave them an errand 😁

I have three bread knives and one has white handle. All my other knives have black handles. I have a lot of knives and my mom says she can never find the bread knife. So tonight she used a bread knife with a black handle. I can't win.

I had such a blast at ECCC 2025 that I am heading back this year. Bought my pass, booked a room, and a Pre-Show Commission. Mainly because my friends cosplay and @lianakangas.com is going and commissioned for a grad present. Then I checked the guests and I am swooning. There goes my money again. 😁😇
ECCC 2025. I am sweating profusely and still having a good time. The anti-anxiety medication is working and I can do this. Plus I went with friends. I met artists who are wonderful and sharing. @amychu.bsky.social @ericpalicki.bsky.social @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social @saraalfageeh.bsky.social

I guess I don't have to worry about it anymore. They cancelled the show. Dodged that dilemma.
I watched a new show yesterday. I mean all of it. I enjoyed it. But, the
last few minutes wrecked me. So much so that I woke up at 2 AM still bothered by it. I am ok with setting things up for another season but what they did caused damage. If there is a season 2, I am not sure I would watch.
