Anything fun or interesting going on? Relaxing, doing chores, listening to music, playing games, reading? I wanna hear about it!

Rolled down 80km of Italian alps today on the Alpe-Adria cycling route. Probably the nicest part of the route. Between Villach and Carnia including some 50+ km of the most beautiful rail to trail I’ve been on. With good weather as well. Honestly amazing day.
Just finished a LAN party. I’m the chairman of the nonprofit that arranges it. Everything went smooth. So smooth I had bad anxiety the day before we started lol. The aula we rented is cleaned, and the extra chairs and tables we rented have been picked up.
Before the pandemic we used to have close to a 1000 guests. But unfortunately big LAN partys are dying, so this year we were only around 70.
I think we’ll keep a smaller size, but aiming for a bit more than 100 next year. Because at this size, it’s still really fun without all the extra stress and workload that comes from arranging a really big party
It’s Sunday. I will clock in to work at 10am. Working 8 hours, massaging 5 people. It’s painful & my back will start to hurt like hell after the second client, and the pain won’t go away until I wake up the next morning. Clock out at 6pm. Meeting a friend tonight to carpool to a beach 2 hours south of here, then I can sleep & wake up at that beach then enjoy a week there.
Sulking as my mother cleans my room to try and fix my mess. Now I can’t do my plans in the order that they go into, and I can’t do them out of order because I overthink.
I’m hard addicted to the Subnautica 2 EA, that’s been eating up most of my free time!
I didn’t have much expectations and I have to say it’s blown my socks off story, gameplay and graphics wise. It’s just like I opened Subnautica 1 for the first time again and I’m all for it.
Putter around in the garden while the pups and the hens frolic in the yard, then off to work this afternoon. Work is a doggie daycare/boarding/training facility and it’s a rather slow weekend, so basically it’ll be some cleaning but mostly 8hrs of chilling with a pack of dogs what’s going to be a lovely spring afternoon. I have no complaints.
Was traveling and just got caught up with Eurovision semifinals. No spoilers! Still need to watch the Grand Final tomorrow.

For others who also are not familiar:
Well, it’s bed time here, but in the morning I’m going on a road trip to get another preventative rabies shot. I didn’t build up enough antibodies from the 3 shots last fall to work with raccoons and foxes and such, so I’m giving it another try.
It’s a 5-6 hour round trip, but another wildlife center is running a discount program, so it saves me $500 or so, even with gas taken into account.
That’s a fantastic discount, my goodness. I hope this time is the one that lets you work with them!
It is! The shots are normally around 600 to 800 each, and you need 3, typically.
The clinic out there does a spring and fall event so new volunteers and anyone needing a booster can come all on the same days. One vial of vaccine holds enough to do 10 people, so instead of giving one shot and tossing the rest as would happen if we all got shots randomly, they schedule us to all come on the same days, and pass the savings on to us, as most of us aren’t paid to do this work.
I tested positive for antibodies, but not high enough to safely work with rabies vector animals, so I’m due for a booster. I believe we need to get a titer every 2 years to show we still have proper antibody levels to keep working with them.
So it’s a bit of a hassle, but we have so many cute critters that I can’t work with without doing it!

A tiny baby fox they brought back to life after it passed. It’s big now, and still just as adorable!
They’re too adorable! That’s so cool.
Making music. I’ve started working on a new EP, probably around 5 songs, that I plan to release within 3 months.
Oh that’s rad as hell! I just started learning music production somewhat recently, it’s so hard but so much fun. I hope your EP comes together smoothly, I’m sure it’ll turn out badass. What genre?
Thanks! Yeah, even I am still continuously learning new things. In fact, I recently reset my mixing/mastering workflow and started fresh, because of new stuff I learned. I do different genres, but this time it’s gonna be a prog industrial metal instrumental album.
I’d love to hear it when it’s ready!
Severe thunderstorm rolled through town earlier, took the opportunity to drive around while everyone was pulled off to the sides of the road.
Couldn’t see 5 feet in front of me and was constantly pelted by hail. Was pretty fun.
Worked 12 hours. About to do it again, then again
I’m no hypocrite, I’ll chime in. I woke up at 1 am this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep because my body hates me apparently. The day was pretty good other than that though, I made a run to the dump that I’d been meaning to do for months, got my hair dyed, and had lunch at a local cafe (sandwich with a yuba patty, sesame slaw, and peanut sauce. It was so good). Now I’m just chilling, I got cider and I’m listening to records (Yesterwynde by Nightwish right now). I’m gonna sleep well tonight I think!

I do have some Nightwish, but hadn’t been aware that this was out.
Made the mistake of trying Deadlock. It’s invite only right now but there are communities that will let you friend someone for an invite. Anyway I figured it was good since it’s Valve. And uh unfortunately I was right. I haven’t slept properly in a week
I went to six flags with my significant other today, we had a blast! I don’t think I’d been on a roller coaster in nearly a decade so it was really fun to be back in a theme park (despite the food prices, which were ludicrous).
