Sometimes I'm an akita but you might know me as Raymond the GSD or SaberTail. Former particle physicist, but now I write software. (40, Male, straight)-ish. SF Bay area. I'm probably not like you remember from pre-2020.

one of the worst things my mom taught me was that things aren't worth doing if they're not original
nah, turning 40 and having a midlife crisis that motivated me to get in shape and get better at guitar has felt great
also I love cover songs, and it's really fun noticing influences and connections

feeling better after a 3 hour nap. Might write this day off as a brain recovery day. The only thing I really have on my to-do list is practice guitar and I can make that up tomorrow

Having a bad day for various reasons.
It stinks that when you stop trying to be someone you're not, you lose a lot of people. I don't blame them. It's very lonely though.

Tidied up my room, vacuumed the house, read a chapter of a book, practiced guitar, got my hair cut, worked out, and took a shower. And it's only 3 PM

between the bruises from some restarting weights mishaps, and the scratches from the hair clippers, my back looks like I've had a really bad week

Maybe I'm extra sensitive to this because my family did this to me all the time growing up, but it saps enjoyment for me

do other people have to bug artists to post art they've commissioned? like I'll get the finished stuff, and the artist will just never post it even months later, and I don't know if they secretly hate my characters or what

My strategy of "keep really busy" and "get out of the house every single day" seems to have worked so far at keeping the SAD at bay this year. October 2023 was one of the lowest months I can remember. October 2025 was pretty good, and I feel like I'm on an upward trajectory

And he was!
This was a spooky film, and it executed well on the premise. The dog they found was great.

Akitober is over, but I'm remaining an akita for the time being.
But also I was able to acquire sabertail dot org, and since that's how a lot of people know me, I'm going to use that for my handle on here

I was creeped out more than scared a lot of the time, but it's pretty much another in the series. I had fun watching it!
