I hate losing a whole day to a headache. It took until about 7 tonight to finally feel like a human again

We've had teens with no costumes and just a backpack come to our door. They get candy. I bought the candy to give out. I'm going to give out the candy. I'm an adult. I can go buy my own candy if I want.

I sort of oopsied into working at BioWare years ago. It probably changed the directory of my life for good or bad. It’s very bittersweet to see what came of it but I will always be grateful for the people I met there.
We're excited to share the line-up for our upcoming Jurassic Ghosts anthology, edited & curated by Halli Reid. It's truly a dino-mite bunch! *bows* William Adcock @paintingmoreorcs.bsky.social - "Ol' Stubby" Hannah Baxter - "River of Giants"
When certain people ultimately point fingers at Elections Alberta for the delay and missteps tonight, don't forget who underfunded and hampered EA's requests for help to make sure this would run more smoothly.
Went to cast my ballots in the referendum. Minus the wind, it was very easy, in and out, and I got bubble tea to celebrate

I think the most “adult who was in a gifted and talented program as a kid” thing I could have done to myself was become an author. Just giving myself endless homework and a need for people to be proud of me forever.
Just sent my latest novel to some beta readers so now it's time to panic (work on the next thing). #amwriting
Forget spring cleaning, it’s time for fall cleaning. Gotta get the habitat ready for hibernation.
An extended family member of my partner passed away today. He rapidly deteriorated after being diagnosed with cancer, so this is your reminder to do your recommended age related screenings.
Current WIP novel is a hot mess, but I am just enjoying it so much that I don't even care. Future me can figure out if this actually works as a story, for now, I'm just seeing where it goes
I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
One cat has a vet appointment this morning. We needed to limit litter box access which means we’ve been dealing with cat pee all morning from the other cat. At least I hope it’s the other cat. 🙄
So proud of my friend Meg Pennerson! She had her book launch for her first novel, Dragons, Heists, and Other Retirement Plans last night! Super excited to start reading it.
In a recent gaming session, I had the burly badass villain growl, "Well, isn't that just ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife?" in response to a plot development, and in retrospect that was not a great way to get the players to take said villain seriously.
Tried to go outside for the peak of the eclipse but the moon was missing and there was distant lightning. The lightning is less distant now
Hexxus terrified me as a child, but Tim Curry was always amazing. What a true loss.
The Hollywood Reporter@thr.com · 2mo agoTim Curry, the offbeat British actor who specialized in playing eccentrics like the seductive, cross-dressing scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and such fiendish villains as Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King’s It, has died. He was 80. bit.ly/4wOSlqy
Not a lot of people look at the world and think 'you know what, I'm gonna save it' - AND THEN DO. Y'know?
Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social · 2mo agoDolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com
Started working on a new novel this week and I am so looking forward to getting to know these characters. They seem like they'll be fun! It will be sad to kill one of them off!
It’s really not fair to be allergic to bandaids that I need to cover a wound
Sitting in my hotel room. There's a big thunderstorm outside. Kiss - I was Made For Loving You is wafting up from...somewhere.
