Took a little time off last week to visit Paris after being at Develop, and it felt refreshing to visit a city and experience a culture that is different than LA in so many good ways.

It only took me a few decades, but I finally scratched the “ride a dang horse on the trail” item from my life bingo card.

Returned to Disneyland after a very long hiatus for a little Star Wars, a little popcorn, and a hell of a lot of walking.

Unfortunately, my foster kitten will need dental surgery and skin treatments in order to be fully healthy. Any support in helping her get the medical care that she needs would be much appreciated!

Seeing Bernie Sanders introduce Clairo last night was a huge, welcome surprise. You could tell the difference between folks who cheered during his speech and dumb fuck Trumpers who looked upset the whole time.
Also excuse the IG text labels, I had to post the pic as soon as he started talking 🙌

I promised myself I wouldn’t foster fail on my first attempt at fostering a cat, but Sashimi is making it really easy to reconsider that…

After losing my cat last year, I figured I would ease back into being a cat dad by volunteering at an animal shelter, and then fostering as soon as I finished some travels.
Well anyways, it is the day after getting back from GDC, so I would like everyone to meet my first ever foster, Sashimi. 😻

Greetings from the Venus Bridge in Kobe! It was nice to get out of Osaka for a little bit to enjoy the hike, some really good wine, and fantastic Chinese food. A huge thank you to my fellow GIG member @sheegoggery.bsky.social for suggesting today’s outing and for the company!

I just had to try out a strawberry chocolate cake myself and can confirm: damn is it delicious! Even though it looked huge, it was very light so it didn’t feel like a chore to finish it.

I’m in the best shape I have been in since before the pandemic, and it is worth all the hard work since I get to enjoy these types of views during my long morning runs along the Santa Monica beach path. The mental health gains are also a huge plus!

Mina passed away peacefully in my arms yesterday, and I can't help but feel relieved that I kept her from further suffering. To other pet owners: take all the videos and pictures, give them all the hugs and naughty treats, and keep loving them unconditionally.

In addition to the pain of knowing my cat has a couple of days left, all of the little "last chores" make it hurt a little more: the last water bowl fill up, the last litter box change, the last weekly dose of medicine.
Please give your pets a little extra love this week.

I found myself enchanted by all of the terrific artwork from last night's Other Art Fair in Santa Monica. Everyone in town should check it out before the show ends tomorrow!

My favorite parts of tonight’s debate have been seeing her get ready to cook his ass.
Apart from the flavorful memes, of course.

Given my recent experience watching movies at the theater, this could go either way.
Here’s hoping it is a good one! 🤞🏼
