  Had some insomnia last night, so I was reading The Eye of the Bedlam Bride, but it's so stressful 😟. #reading #DungeonCrawlerCarl

  Sigh, I guess no more easy bypass of the NY Times subscription crap.

  FML. So the renter in our one apartment is apparently having some kind of mental issues, and seems to be having a full psychotic breakdown. He was spray painting in the hallway that's shared with another building (it's a weird setup where an old building was essentially split in half to become 2 buildings), and I'm told he even entered another apartment and was throwing things. The police took him in, and now I have to figure out how eviction works.

  First coat of primer is on, but it's clearly going to need several layers. Contacting an attorney now to help with the eviction. What a week.

  Second coat is on, looking a lot better. The attorney told me not to move his grill, and instead to post a notice and give him time to move it. So, that's what I did. 🤷

  Lest I only post about the bad things happening this week, here's a picture of a smirking cat. I don't know what's she's thinking about, but she's up to something. #CatsOfMastodon

  Holy crap this is fun and cool: https://musical.toys/toys/tetrachord/ Tetris, but each block is musical beats.

  It's the chaos scenario, as Nigeria, Zambia, and Malawi all finish on 6 points. Based on my understanding of the tie breaker rules it's Zambia and Malawi going through, but right now the broadcast is saying Malawi and Nigeria are going through. #WAFCON

  Me, watching the first episode of the new season of Ted Lasso: OMG it's Gotham FC! And sure, they get scored on by Chawinga, but we all know that was just for TV 😜 #NWSL #TedLasso

  Gotham has signed another midfielder... cool, cool cool... but, like, how about an outside back? Didn't we just sign another midfielder in O'Sullivan? #NWSL #yerrr

  Uhh, what's happening at Audi Field? The Spirit are down 3-0 and it hasn't even been 15 minutes. #NWSL

  Booo. I've been doing so well with the 'return to running' program my doc gave me, but today was no good. I'm up to jogging 15 minutes straight now, and it feels wonderful, but today I was supposed to jog 25 minutes, and it just didn't happen. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the humidity, but my joints were unhappy, and my calf felt really thick and swollen, so I decided to walk some of it, and then just called it about 10 minutes in. I don't want to risk re-injur...

  Pride month short intro post: I was born male. Into my 20s, people assumed I was a girl. I famously 'whipped it out' in a store when I was 4 or so, because someone didn't believe I was a boy. I kissed my first girl at a very early age. I kissed my first boy around 16 or so. At some point facial hair started to grow in, so now people assume I'm a guy. I suck at shaving. I also suck at picking out skirts. I married a girl & had kids. (1/2)

  I bought Control on Steam since it was less than $4. I still haven't even opened Kingdom Come Deliverance II, which I bought last year. First world backlog problems... Meanwhile I somehow already have 140 hours on Age of Wonders 4. It's easy to just leave it open and play a round here or there though. #Steam #gaming

  I wanted to see how the NWSL table looks based on points per game. Going into the break, some teams have played 11 games, some 13. Sorting by points per game, the Wave drop into 2nd behind the Royals, and the Thorns drop below Spirit and Gotham. Other than that there isn't really any movement. I thought about looking at last 5 games as well, but with a month break, does momentum mean anything? #NWSL

  Is anyone here doing AR work with Godot? Specifically for handheld Android/iOS (not HMD). I feel like it's time to move away from Unity, but I'm not really seeing much about support in Godot. #AR #Godot #Unity3D

  Ooo, AJR will be at the Iowa State Fair. I bet that'd be a fun concert.

  Holy hell, last week I had $1,000 of unexpected expenses, and next week we have an unplanned $5k expense. I guess we *should* have planned for it, because it's a surgery we knew was coming up, but yikes, the doctors always described it as a 'simple small surgery' so we didn't think we'd have to cover the entire deductible (which somehow also increased this year). Like, how is anyone staying afloat right now? I'm sure we're not the only on...

  I had to turn the Chicago Stars game off. Sad for this team. #NWSL

  My wife and I are playing Age of Wonders 4, about to attack a ruler that's been bugging us the entire game. It took many turns to gather our armies outside their city. This is going to be an epic battle. Then our cat jumps on her desk and crashes across her keyboard. Somehow my wife is exited out of the game. She logs back on and the battle is over. Apparently the cat selected auto battle. At least we won 😸 #gaming #CatsOfMastodon

  I'm watching the altcast for the Utah Louisville game, with Kelly O'Hara and Ali Riley, but they don't have the game sound!? I really thought that was going to be a part of these altcasts. I'm not sure I can watch the game like this 🙁. #NWSL

  The sun was rising, giving the trees an odd yellow green tint, against the dark sky.

  Hmm... Idea: a D&D campaign with no evil. NPCs just need help with stuff. Maybe there's a cat stuck in a tree. Maybe a cart is broken down on an old bridge and they need to help it get across before the bridge collapses. Maybe there was an earthquake, a flood, an avalanche. #Dnd

  Apparently cowbirds are often monogamous, even though they don't have any real reason for it, since they don't make nests. She sometimes joins him in the bush so they can yell at the window together. #birds

  I finished #reading Catherine House by Elizabeth Thomas. It was such a weird book, but I loved it. I had no idea where it was going, but I was there for it.
