I'm seriously thinking of fleshing out some NPCs and starting a writing project. Maybe do a podcast like the one Mercedes Lackey did.
Secret World Chronicles predated the other "Secret World" franchise. I always had to check which one was being referenced.
I caught myself writing more notes for a superhero #ttrpg setting.
I'm enjoying this feeling of it being really mundane on the surface.
It is filling up with conspiracies small and large beneath the surface.
The bottom level is becoming completely gonzo.
I'm typically apolitical online, with rare exceptions. I try to keep those exceptions focused on the human experience.
I've been treated with absolute cruelty by people I agree with. I've been treated like a valued guest by people I disagree with very deeply.
I'll quietly read the news and vote.

Soundtrack album to the Freddy's Nightmares television show.
I did not know there was a soundtrack to Freddy's Nightmares until yesterday, when I bought the only one I saw on sight.
I used to tape some of this music from the tv and listen to it for fun. This, too, is for listening to.

I finished watching Good Boy.
Yes, it is an extremely good movie.
I may not be strong enough to ever watch it a second time. I just kept thinking about the animals who were there during the worst of times.
I need to hug the cat now.
*minutes into the movie
I am not having a good time with my new phone's keyboard.
I'm a few movies into the movie Good Boy on Shudder. Although I'm a cat person these days, I grew up loving many dogs.
Helios is clinging to me again tonight. I'm really feeling the opening of this movie. It's hard to call him "my" cat. He bonded to me. We take care of each other.

I want sure if I wanted to go to Cult Classic Convention this year. I've been here 40 minutes surrounded by horror movie fans and loud music.
This is the good life. I'm glad to be here.

I quit smoking by locking myself in a room with the first 5 Harry Potter books.
The franchise can offer a lot of much needed escapism and even hope.
I just can not pay money to someone who is financing the same harmful rhetoric that I survived.
This is sadness and hope for things to get better.
This is written with only sadness & bittersweet hope for a better future.
My ankle has been in a lot of pain again due to a homophobic incident from decades ago.
I will not watch or support Harry Potter or HBO Max due to Rowling speaking like the people who hurt me.
Please love each other. 💖
Released on 16 November 1987, Floodland is the second studio album by the English gothic rock band the Sisters of Mercy.
My "silver" car was covered in so much tree pollen that parts of it looked sickly green from certain angles.
I'm currently getting the most extensive service that this automatic car wash has to offer.
White imitation roses on a black background
I wound up in a conversation about creating album cover art without generative ai.
This was made with fake roses from the dollar store, a black blanket, a broken tv for the subtle reflection, creative lighting, and free photo editing software.
Play. Have fun. Make art.
Damn. I was started to like their YouTube channel.
I don't watch a lot of it, so it's possible I missed some signs of this lunacy.
This is always a fun watch, and it's free with ads right now.

An orange cat sleeping on a black T-shirt
I have been feeling unwell and watching movies after work. Helios has been blissfully lounging on my chest, keeping me warm and being wonderful company.
I gush over this cat a lot. He deserves every moment of it. He adopted me. We take care of each other. It's a great experience.

Sending my sincere gratitude to every musical artist and event that is posting notifications outside of Meta, X, & TikTok.
It's making a big difference to me.
Gran Turismo 7 game screen showing all five weekly challenges have been finished.
Making myself relax today. It's rare that I can manage all five weekly challenges in Gran Turismo 7.
The "hardest" challenge required me to use one of my favorite cars on of my favorite tracks.
It felt nice for a little while.
I also finished my major chores like a proper adult.
This is a Dance Off! If you see this, post a dance or you are eliminated!
I forgot to post this on Friday. "First Day of Spring" by the Gandharvas.
My musical upbringing included albums such as "The Point!" by Harry Nilsson.
Maybe it was just likely that I would find happiness in album-length rock & roll stories.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Point!
This concept album was one of the most important records I have ever heard. Half the story is about Krystal & Apollo. Half is presumably what Krystal saw in thee early 90s nightlife & LGBTQ+ scene.
It might be dated. It helped me feel much less alone in its time.

On the subject of rock operas, I have been loving side B of Kula Shaker's "Wormslayer."
Everything from "Shaunie" to the end can be heard as a rock opera. It can be interpreted at least two different ways which might be just one same way after all. It's so good.

Every time I think of that old rock opera, I catch myself drifting into the world, the story, and the message I wanted to explore.
I've had one almost fully recorded for years. The biggest problem: I can barely sing. It takes forever to get usable vocals, and forget "good" ones.
Plus, I never could work out how (or even if) to differentiate vocals coming from feminine characters.
An orange cat leans against a small electric drawbar organ.
This cat keeps asking me to join his ska band.
I used to think I never got anything done because I was too busy doomscrolling.
It's complicated.
Every time I try to anything except for holding the cat, the cat demands to be held. His nonstop need for affection is helping me heal from my own problems in a big way.
Sometimes I reminisce about that time when no one could leave the house, but anyone who ever bought anything at Sweetwater had at least buddy to talk to.
The two minute mark of this song contains one of my favorite song lyrics of all time. Too bad I don't know what the lyric actually is:
