What Are You Doing?

Oops sorry about the TMI of the previous post.
Right now I am thinking of getting ready for bed. I was researching about good food (for me and also my goldfish)

 

But, but, but... what about The Forum Daily Five??

 

Still being stuck on my WIP, watching vids on some cult
known as Teal Swan, or something.
And still not sure what to spend my 25 Amazon Fun Bucks on.

 

Honestly, and this is mod hat on, we do not need to hear about every single action in your day and every thought that pops into your head. Please read through a bit of the Random Thought Thread and the What Are You Doing Thread and see how other people treat it and try and adjust your future postings accordingly.

 

"Fun food!" - Elephant Seal, Finding Nemo

 

There’s been a few early mornings in recent years when I’ve woken up on the brink of pissing myself. Well this morning I did piss myself!

I’m blaming the dream I had, in which I relieved myself in the shower. Question is, did my brain trigger the dream because I needed a piss, or was it just an unfortunate coincidence?

 

early start for Forum Daily Five

 

Well I’m screwed with my last post then. Or does going to the toilet while in bed count as a worthwhile share?

 

What is this? And what is TMI?

 

It was a thing between members including Iain, Shenannigator, BSM, Homer, and others (pre-Mod). It hasn't received much patronage since Shen went on to greener pastures. TMI is too-much-information.

I'm off to bed. First, I'll make sure I... oh, nevermind

 

Whys everyone going to the.....nevermind.

Watching some stuff coming out of CES which I even forgot was this week. CES is kinda like the modern-day world`s fair in terms of overpromising and presenting a future that may not actually come but at the start of the decade, it`s neat to look at all the possible future tech ahead of us. A lot of it is kinda pointless but hey so is the future.

.....that got a little....

It`s around ten now and I still need to get around. It`s my day off and I had two beers before bed last night so woke up with my body aching. Though I always wake up like that so who`s to say it was the booze. Found out you can stream straight to Discord last night so did that...no one watched. Other than one person long after I forgot I was still connected to voice chat which freaked the fuck out of me. On a whim, I broadcasted to Twitch, which was just me playing with my mic and Streamlabs on. Actually got four people watching...or one....analytics say one but there's an eye with a four by it so...what is that? Also, I was eating m and ms, and my headphone mic can pick up me chewing....glad no one was watching. Looking at Dicey Dungeons on Twitch there is a very small base for it, could make this a (very small) thing if I wanted to and actually put effort into it which I wasn`t. Don`t know if I want to though. DIcey Dungeons was fun though, stopped streaming quickly and stopped playing it a little after that. Rounded out the night drinking and brutally losing multiple Hearthstone matches. Got a shit ton of new cards there and currently trying to build the best decks I can.


Gotta get around for the day though. Put some laundry in, get dressed, stuff food in my belly, get the trash out, pick up my room, and etc. Today`s actually the birthday of a family friend. Going on three years now that they haven`t been around to celebrate it. Probably stopping by and checking in on her family today. There`s also a camera club tonight wasn`t gonna go but my old mentor who I haven`t seen in awhile wants me to. Plus I need his help on a resizing issue to submit some photos to a project. I already submitted a different photo to a museum exhibit last week. Won`t hear about that until February.

Getting back on the pony. A year of new and old beginnings.

For now, I`ve got to begin today.

Maybe first I`ll go to the....

oh yeah nevermind.

 

I understand and will do my best to keep it in mind from now on.

 

Watching a BBC FOUR documentary on Depeche Mode.

 

Trying to find something on either Hulu or Disney+ to watch. My team bombed this year so ESPN+ would not be fun to watch about other teams playoff fun. Also I checked and found a bunch of Peyton stuff and nothing apparently about my team.
I want to figure out about my multiverses but getting so confused about stuff,

 

Back from the trip. Had a blast. Turns out I'm really good at skiing - just not with skis. Got the bruises as proof....

Also figured out why writing is so difficult for me. Might make a blog post about it. Might not.

Jet lag is bullying me at the moment, so today will be a sleepy Friday.

 

Sitting down about to start on my dinner. Work went surprisingly smoothly today and I`m off tomorrow so all is well there. Sundays gonna be a horrible day but hey it`s not here yet. Full moon tonight, good night to stay in away from all the crazies. Also, good night to give a crack at Wriye`s Full Moon Madness tradition where you write as much as you can during the full moon. Got my snacks and drinks all piled up around me as I don`t plan to be leaving this room much tonight. It might be good to straight dive into things, get the ideas flowing.

I would`ve liked to have been home and started on this two hours ago but roped into last-minute running around. Some people enjoy spontaneous things but as someone who still has to focus extra hard to stay on track when they plan out there weeks in advance day by day (which I do) I find it be the biggest and most annoying pain in the ass on the planet. It`s obtrusive and intrusive.

Well made my obligatory post here/in the music thread, and picked my packages up from the post so time to eat my meal while watching some Internet Today then dive into the writing.

 

Remember not doing anything? Yeah, wife disagreed with that. Instead, she wanted to go play tennis, which me, being insane, agreed to cause I wanted to see her in sports gear I'm crazy, obviously.

We're both close to death right now. This sofa is our savior. Praise the sofa, praise the cushions. Praaaaaaiseeeeee it. PRAAAAAAIIIISSSSEEEEE THE SOFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HIGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah...normal Friday.

 

Wondering how long one's avatar and messages/likes stats have been displayed in the sidebar within subforums, and if forever why I haven't noticed it before

 

Hmm, at least since whenever I joined. Which browser are you using?

 

FF. Don't worry, it's more than likely I've simply never noticed.

 

Taking a bit to recover from a writers hangover. Feel like I got ran over by a mac truck, worse than the night I actually did spend drinking. Guess staying up till almost two am on soda and snack foods isn`t good for you. Who knew man? I`m not a teenager anymore I guess....ugghhh.

Writing went...allright. Got a pretty decent brain dump and cobweb clearing post up in the junk drawer clocking in at 1458 words. It`s when I got to a more structured idea that it went from eight to one am with little progress. I mean there was progress...but delated a lot of it and started over...and repeated that cycle. I was ready to scrap the whole thing as trash and start on a different idea but showed some of it to my best friend since the 5th grade who also doubles as my volunteer editor and she`s refusing to let me sooo. Discord friend suggested storyboarding it out...might do that today.

Not sure what today will be. Off with a hell of a workday ahead tomorrow with Disney on Ice checking out. Today`s the kingdom Twelfith nigh as far as SCA goes, been wanting to get into that for a while now but never found the time. Thought about going, but need a reservation and didn`t know I was off plus...next year. Can`t have to much on the plate, got invited to a rap show tonight as well but I already pushed it last night and tomorrow's gonna be hell so think it`s just gonna be a homebody day.

To start let`s get a donut.

 

Snow fun today. Taking a break between snow removals.

After an almost record-snowless December (2" total) we got double that last night after a freezing rain and drizzle, with more snow to start later today. I used to like the quiet early morning shoveling, now I go out around 9 a.m. with my snowblower and blast it away. The older I get the more I understand snowbirds. And speaking of birds I uncovered and filled the feeders, since they tend to need a lot of nourishment in cold weather. Maybe I'll go for a walk outside later. Naw, think I'll use the treadmill instead.

 

Watching Punjabi street food being made and wondering why the hell I'm putting myself through such torture. Considering the trip my wife an I are planning (Going to India in Feb), I should hold off on the food porn....

 

Being awake despite an attempt at going to bed early. The amount of catenation I`ve had lately probably doesnt help. Need to really cut back at some point...some point. Did an embarrassingly shitty Hearthstone stream today which is fine because no one watched it but an issue this time and my need to enunciate...aside from everyone and anything coming into my room at the time...was how much of just my breathing was picked up by the headset mic. Kinda bugged me how..labored it sounded from just sitting there playing a card game. Really do need to pull my health together...some day.

Supposed to be having fun like that tomorrow. Gonna have to get up pre sunshine to get a start on the shoveling if I want to get out in time for work. As if I`m not anxious about tomorrow at work enough. Just focusing on getting through it.

I got even more paper to add to the intimidating stack of paperwork I have on my desk to do now. Almost want to set aside a day on its own for that, but idk if there`s ever gonna be time for that. There`s at least one bill that needs to be handled tomorrow.

For now, I`m just glad I`m up because I forgot to pack a lunch for tomorrow.
