Not going to complain about a day off, but having a holiday on Wednesday makes today feel like a second Monday.
Talented Failure

Aspiring writer, hopeless romantic. I think I'm funnier than I am. https://andrewprenger.blogspot.com/ Link above is all the writing I'm willing to share. Updates are slow, but they do happen!
Well, it was bright and sunny today, making me staying inside playing "Assassins Creed" that more pathetic.
Asked my cat Tonks if she was ready to come inside. She said she would rather stay outside and eat grass. I support female body autonomy so there she remains.
It has been pouring down rain all day. I have tomorrow off. Gonna' be sad if I don't get the same when I can just lounge in my recliner.
Took a short break from writing as I was kind of burned out. Am back to it. Feels good. Took a bit to shake off the feeling of "need" to write. I wasn't giving up, I was recharging.
Okay, the day of celebration is over. I now switch from being a big booster to a major critic. Not just enough to get my preferred candidates in, now I want them to prove they were worth it.
It is weird to wake up after Election Day to good news. See? This is why being a pessimist is rad! I'm either right or pleasantly surprised.
Gonna' be a great day for democracy. Just..the best.
We had a family-sized bag of BBQ chips that someone brought to a party this month that nobody even opened. Finally we just put it in the candy bowl on Halloween. The first kid to our door was jazzed for it.
@fakehistoryhunter.net I am playing “Assassins Creed Shadows.” What is the disconnect with handles on helmets? I know Vikings didn’t have horns because you could wrench on them, but samurai had very grab able parts.
@choochoobear.bsky.social Sir, with all due respect, when you’re doing a “Popeye” strip and use a very obscure character do your editors just sigh heavily?
The results are in and the kids are wrong. Sour won Halloween evening. All of those are gone, meanwhile only eight kids chose Snickers. I have lived to an age I did not wish to see.
It's Halloween, my favorite holiday. The leaves are down, the decorations are up. We got a cauldron off full-size candy bars for the kids and a cooler of cold beers for the adults. Best time of the year!
My friend is getting deployed for a good long while. I have pledged to raise their child as if they were my own. Which is vaguely a threat, seeing as it is morning and I am drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade tall boy.
Got scolded at work for unprofessionalism. Was having issues with a PDF I needed. So I emailed a work group I thought could help me out. The subject line was “Adobe sucks.” I stand by it.
Weird how the fentanyl crisis just kind of disappeared. Wondering if that will change depending on how voting goes next Tuesday.
From an informal poll taken last night, turns out women would prefer to have three breasts over a singular super-boob.
Takashi Yamazaki's latest chapter of kaiju chaos is going bigger, bloodier, and more brutal than ever before.

"Did you hide a bottle of Fireball in the candy bowl?!" "No!...I hid two."
There was one of those Go Joe rent-a-cops at the gym parking lot this morning. They were driving around, stopping at cars to...check them out? Dude. The gym is about to open, we're allowed to be here.
On my commute there are political signs that read "A Vote For Baumgartener is a Vote for Trump" and I am honestly confused whether that is a pro or anti sign.
I love that there are countless stories of people dying of preventable diseases because they were counting on prayer and God, meanwhile the Pope gets cancer and says "Fuck that, I'm going to a surgeon."
Probably did not help my annual review that it is October, so I was wearing my horror-themed lanyard with a very bloody "Event Horizon" pin.
"Why does your self-assessment on your annual review read like a suicide note?" -My Boss.
Realized the execution will take place on a work day. They're probably going to make me watch it at the office.
Enjoying the day off, but Christopher Columbus can still go fuck himself.
Most exciting part of my day was almost getting to see a semi-truck crash into the railways right before the Maple street bridge. Again.
Neighbors across the street tore down and re-poured their concrete porch stairs. They are now crooked. Can't have good days anymore since each day I look out and see that.
Friends with teenagers probably know, but what is up with the recent influx of "Student Driver" bumper stickers I see? Is this a new requirement for people getting their license? Or is it just for people who want an excuse to crash into others? "Whoops! I'm a new driver!"
