Today was a grab whatever the hell is around the house and make breakfast with it kind of weekend. I made strawberry banana oatmeal with dried cranberries, and tangerine chipotle cashews… it sounds weird but it was a nice sweet/zesty flavor combo, especially with the brown sugar and maple syrup.
Mainly focused on household stuff today; like clean bedding, sewing a garment that was losing a pocket, spending moneys on evil birthday things for two months worth of birthday friends (you know who you are 😛 ), etc.
These new Half Life VR videos have been making me think back to the old Gmod meme days. My current fave is Half Life VR but the AI is self aware:
I’m trying not to spoil myself too much. I want to have a weekend with some cinema time with this and maybe a few other things.It’s been awhile since the we’ve had a cinema day.
Sorry for lack of posts; I’ve been feeling ill since Tuesday and I’m just feeling better enough to write something. Work has been keeping me busy as per usual, in fact I’ll be kind of all over the place next week. One of my co-workers is taking some time off, and I’ll be running the helm.
Not much to write. Taking things easy, been fog and a little smoky outside. Played a few games, even did some multiplayer Serious Sam. I do have topics I would like to discuss, but with all the cleaning these last couple of days plus regular work it’s been a busy one. In the meantime here are some text words to read.
I took some time out of my evening to continue working on this, so far so good. I probably won’t be able to get as much done on it as I’d like, as we are expecting the landlord to come and inspect the property on Sunday. Fortunately I already did a little cleaning towards the tail end of vacation. I mainly wandered around throwing away boxes I no longer needed, put away some USB cables that I haven’t used in awhile. I think tomorrow I’ll start doing some dusting after work, among other errands.
The wildfires are continuing to rage on, the town is packed with evacuees with quite a few of them having lost their homes; and for some reason we have fewer firefighters this fire season to fight these massive . I do see more people wearing masks now, if there is a god perhaps this is his method of telling worshipers of the Great Orange Scrotum to wear a fucking mask, and even then I still see people refusing to dawn one, even yesterday when the sky was as black as night with no shortage of smoke to breathe in.
Unlike the previous big fire we have, I no longer have my good mask. I gave it back to my boss back in the spring after being told it wasn’t within company guidelines (figure that one the fuck out). I have a couple cloth ones with a semi decent filter, but it doesn’t work nearly as well as the P95. I’ve been getting dizzy spells once in awhile at work, even at home it has been hard to breathe sometimes. I’ve only been cracking my window open a little at night to get rid of any mugginess, only to be greeted in the morning with ash. Perhaps I’ll wait to dust near the window til Saturday…
The weather was just cool enough today for me to get some work done on the video. Working on Satan while living under the smell of smoke and fire is oddly immersive, and depressing… It was so smoky this morning that I didn’t even see any form of light outside until 8:30am,. Eventually we were graced with what we theorize was the sun. the entire sky displayed many shades of Jaundice Jackass throughout the day.
2020 has been one dumpster fire of a year, and now I can honestly say that it even smells the part. I haven’t heard from some of you in awhile, and I hope you’re surviving whatever is out there; be it COVID, Hurricanes, Fire, a chipped tooth, overdone s’mores, etc.
My plans to work on one of my video projects kinda went up in smoke due to… well the overwhelming amount of fire smoke from California and my state of Oregon. The northwest of the US is on fucking fire right now, and it seems like it gets drier and drier every year with everyone treating this as the new norm. I miss having summers without smoke and elpresidente orange skies. As often as I’m having to use my laptop I really should consider putting SFM and Shotcut on here; the real question is how would I go about syncing my projects between systems.
Of course there is the old standby…
I’ve been piloting my TARDIS around. I’ve only flown it a couple times, but other than that I’ve hardly touched the mod due to… well other mods distracting me before I get around to it. :v I have it all figured out for the next stream… perhaps we can play Musical TARDIS and everyone watching can be my companion, almost anyone is better than Lydia, even a Teddy Bear.
To everyone that labored today; I hope you’re all staying safe at work or at home. I spent my last day off cleaning up the kitchen and building a new scene:
I have a yogurt cup waiting for me tomorrow. Vanilla Honey with some corn flakes and dried cranberries, nothing too fancy.
Now to see what hell unfolded during my time away…
