So, my cat (the little monster in my profile picture) is turning 16 next month. As he's getting older, senior cat status, his habits are changing. One such habit, is how he uses the bathroom. The way that he stands now, very close to edge of the box, causes some splashback when he pees. This led to some knots forming in his fur. So, I...

Six in the morning here. Still haven't slept. I'm used to the insomnia by now, but the long hours of being stuck in my head still get to me. Too much time to think. Too much time to go over all the little details, what went wrong, what's missing, and all the rest.
I'm broken. Sometimes, I just hurt. No physical cause, it's all in...

So, I'm usually insanely broke. And I usually have absolutely terrible luck. But recently, I came into a small chunk of change, so to speak. Not enough to live off of, by any far stretch. But just enough to buy myself something nice.
Now, if you've been following the PS5 saga, you know how very hard these things are too come by. But as luck...

I don't know where I left off when I last had a subscription here. So, I guess I'll just start this with a bit of background.
I spent far too much time getting a master's degree in a subject that, despite my love of the material, is absolutely worthless in a society that doesn't value writing. I tried reality hard to find a good job...

Self pity rant ahead.
You were warned.
I know I'm not the only one this happens to. I know that people have lives, and don't (or can't) always respond to messages. And I know that it's not personal, most of the time. But it still starts to make you wonder, 'why always me?'
I've seen how most people are with their phones, constantly in their...

So, my soon to be 16 year old cat likes to yowl dramatically at nothing. It scared me at first, but since he's been doing this for a couple years now, I'm no longer worried. What's cute is, when he gets caught, he slips into a normal meow, which I've finally managed to catch on video.
I wonder if anyone I used to talk to is still here? Hell, what's the atmosphere of the site like these days? It's been what? 3 or 4 years? I forget. But hey, I have the right combination of having a tiny bit of cash and getting an email about a sale, so, I'm back for another year. If anyone bothers to read this, I'm...

My time here is up, only a day or two left... until at least the 4th, I think. When I came back a year ago, I had forgotten how cool this place was, how great all the people are (well, most of them anyway). I had forgotten how much I missed it. Sorry I did so much lurking this time around.
If you have (or...

So, my head hurts, and I can feel the tension running the length of my body from shoulder to shoulder. My neck hurts, my legs are stiff, and my body feels like if I don't move carefully, it'll break. Ye gods, I had forgotten how good it feels to write. I started out, only intending on getting an idea down before I forgot. And somehow,...

Why am I never satisfied with my work? I mean, it's one thing when it's my writing that I'm being hyper-critical of. That shit's never good enough for me. But now that attitude is bleeding into my cooking. There was a point in time when I was satisfied with just being able to successfully make something. Now it's never good enough.
Yesterday I made chicken...
