I usually post "The Woman in Green" on Halloween, I guess in the chaos of the past couple of weeks I forgot.

It's still probably my FAVORITE piece of writing I've ever done. It's. So. Good. (I don't usually say that about myself - but, y'know, I will in this case). theappendix.net/issues/2013/...

I went out to lay on my deck for a bit - weather is lovely, last gasp of niceness before winter gets its claws in us. The sky is really pretty right now.

Well, Wumbum is home. I’m letting her hang out on her side of the couch for a while before she goes into the Thai water jug with Torres.

Sleeping Wumbum, for anyone who needs it (she only barks when she’s dreaming)

Got our static commission for this tier done, it's PERFECT! (we wanted Yellowstone roadtrip vibe)

I'm giving a talk at UC Irvine on Oct. 6 on my mountaineering stuff - it'll also be on Zoom & posted to Youtube later. I'll do more promo as the date nears, but isn't this a good poster? I'm going to ask one of our office staff to print me off a copy so I can put it on my office door.

Wumbum. I cannot explain how much I adore her.
July 24, 2025 at 3:32 PM
She’s still my everything.

Things I love about BZN: mountains, not really pictured here but they’re impossible to ignore; the fact I don’t worry about locking my car or house; the way summer storms look when they’re rolling in.

Still clocking along & still the cutest chonk to ever chonk.

Up late & can’t sleep, getting some reading done while this chonk slumbers

Chonkchonk is best raid buddy.

I sometimes wonder why my iPad has slime on it. This is why.

I wish I could adequately explain how much I love her, but I can’t.

Cleared the new Extreme with that static; everyone’s decked out in the finest of Mingmom Couture.

Would that we were all as chill & unbothered as Wumbum.

A favorite former student inquired about my favorite ‘aesthetic,’ I responded by saying I found that a weird question but sent photographs to illustrate what I think my aesthetic is. This one is most representative: Austrian porcelain horses, Chinese propaganda & Suzanne Farrell.

We cleared the 24 man savage raid on the last pull of the last session for us. It was fun (and aptly named - a lot of chaos!), but I’m glad to be getting back to normal 8 man savage in a week! I have no idea how ppl raid with such big groups in WoW.

My sprouts are soooooo close to an M3S clear, I think if we hadn’t had a surprisingly early maintenance, we might’ve done it tonight!

Chaotic continues to be absolute chaos (I’m amazed glad ‘normal’ high end content in XIV requires 8 ppl at most). Theme this week was Men in Black.

Tell me this isn’t the prettiest pit bull

Wumbum arranged herself like this, crazy dog. XD

Our esports teams got new jerseys last fall, I ordered one in solidarity! (A size too big but w/e, it’s a jersey) just got mine today. First week back going pretty ok.

On to M3S with my sprout group! Made some good prog tonight.
January 7, 2025 at 3:13 AM
Two of my sprouts cleared M2S tonight! I’m bursting with pride. Then we immediately segued into helping my other sprout finish Dawntrail. <3
