Today is Thursday and, if I push, I can maybe get 1K out of me and into KOSBOB so that I have Friday as free as any other day of the weekend.
I should also record some stories and edit another episode of Inter-Mission because that needs to be ready for next Friday. I've got a chance of doing some recording today whilst the rain doth not fall...
But for now? I'm writing as much Instant as I can before I have to watch for Chaos' bus.
The weather has turned rainy and I, for one, am glad that some of the blistering heat has toned down more than a smidge. However, Australia is still on fire, there's a plague running rampant all over the world, and our politicos are failing us in a very big way.
I have "rediscovered" the secret of not twiddling off on distraction-fueled browsing - and that is to shut off every window but the one I'm working on so I can actually firkin

...it probably will...
Meanwhile, the biggest mob of xenophobic dicks in this country is getting mega funding some someone - lord alone knows who, but I'm betting on some bodies corporate. Decent people couldn't possibly want to
Read more »I got sick of the outside temperature and its effect on my bod, so I shaved a metric cat's worth of hair off'a my head.
I mean, serious. This lot of shaved hair could make an entire cat:
[Shown here: A clump of hair on some grass. There is definitely enough there to make a cat]
Coming soon to an ill-researched cryptid blog near you ;)
Anyway, the time is approaching when I should see Chaos off to school and get some moneys
Read more »It's one in the morning, there's going to be some WIP happening and I'm... probably not going to do anything interesting at all this AM. If I'm extremely lucky, I might be able to create an Instant Story before I slink off to sleep again.
Not going great because YouTube is entrancing.
I shall at least try to get something done.
Read more »The first sesh of the year and we have a completely new player with us, as in, their first ever game of D&D was with us last night. So of course, puns, shenanigans, and at least half an hour debating the renovations we were making to our base of operations.
Fantasy The Block, coming soon to an adventuring table near you.
Lowkey though, I do want to create a replica of this place in Minecraft, even though that's pretty terrible
Read more »Tonight is game night and I am so pumped about it that I awoke at 3AM and had various difficulties sleeping the remainder of the morning.
I am going to be WRECKED tomorrow. Be warned.
With the grace of the Powers That Be, and a LOT of caffeine, I and my character will survive the evening. I plan on having fun with everything, no matter what.
I also have to unfuck the house today. A PLN somewhat helped by the fact that
Read more »I have leftover coodles, one head of cauliflower, and the equivalent of one and a half sugarloaf cabbages. All of which, I am leaving to my Beloved to cook something out of it all.
I have Tuna steaks, which could theoretically be fried today and packed up with the leftover coodles, but there is just one small snag.
The new freezer is full to the brim with pre-packaged frozen meals.
Chaos, for the record, has already started helping me eat it all.
Read more »All the chaos of yesterday meant that, by about one in the afternoon, I was DONE with the day. I also had to wait for Chaos to come home, go out shopping for more vegetables, and start prepping so that all the meat prepared in the morning would have a side to go with when they enter our (tada!) brand new freezer!
The new upright freezer is looking very swish. It has a temperature readout, it has an alert to let you
Read more »Today promises to be some kind of fun.
1) Worming the cats
2) Acquiring new upright freezer
3) Unfuckening the house
4) Chaos is back to school, and I didn't get notified about when the bus arriveth
So far:
1) The cats are sequestered with doped foodstuffs in separate rooms... and objecting.
2) It's already half an hour into the time window the freezer people gave us for them to arrive and install [6:30 AM to 10:30 AM] but we
Today is a long weekend day, because there's nothing Australia loves more than an extra day of sloth. Not for me, though.
Me? I have half a table's worth of vegetables and a whole bunch of meats to cook up into an incredible bunch of pre-prepared meals so that myself and anyone else feeling lazy and not in a cooking mood can just heat and eat some keto-friendly joy.
There happens to be a LOT of fish in our collective inventory, so
Read more »We went to visit Capt. S in the hospital. She's had a close encounter with something sharp and infectious. It could be one of the snakes that populate the entire country - a relatively harmless one called the swamp snake.
By "relatively harmless", I mean "shouldn't kill you if it bites you". This is Australia. You can still wind up in hospital from a "relatively harmless" snake bite.
It could have easily been anything else sharp and infectious. A burr, a bit
Read more »All I have to do today is this blog and the Instant. Which means -theoretically- more freedom to do the things I enjoy.
Alas, my lovely family has been helping me eat my prepped meals, so part of today's adventures is going to involve going out and getting supplies for the NEXT batch of meal preps. We also have to defrost the upright freezer so there's room for all the stuff we actually consume, as opposed to the stuff that's been sitting
Read more »It's Friday! What I have on my schedule is added to by the unfuckening of the house. I have finished editing an episode of Inter-Mission so the next thing to do for the podcast is to record more tales from the weird side.
I'll probably end up doing that during the wee small hours in the morning.
I have 1K to write so I can reach my target goal of 75K this week. If I have the chance for fun times, I'll
Read more »So I slept in this morning - aka I had a full night's sleep. On one hand - that's good for my noggin. On the other hand, not so great for my followers and the chances of gaining viewers to the stream.
Have no fear, dear readers. I have a PLN.
Thursday's one of those days that don't require too much out of me, so... after I've successfully produced an Instant, I shall be streaming the editing the rest of the podcast
