@owlfamiliar.bsky.social
City rat turned country mouse Mostly musings on Magic: the Gathering, DIY punk and being a non-binary mope amountainfar.bandcamp.com
Sure hope security at the big gig don't find all the Magic cards hidden around my person and then comment on my deck choice in a condescending fashion
Recently began an appreciation for Pauper. Though the Arena version is kinda wonky card pool wise, still had a hoot. @fireshoes.bsky.social
Finally feeling more accepted/ welcome in my new town's local nerd scene, I run a burgeoning barcade with my wife and am gonna learn to drive soon (finally) 40 so far so good
I know it means very little in the scheme of things, but I've been crushing at Magic lately and it's been very good for my brain. Feel like I'm finally locking in. TLDR: I won a Pauper tournament today and have won my last three tournaments in a row
At the "coolest" restaurant in CK, T Swift just absolutely BLASTING
Euphoria was one of the worst rides in modern TV history. Remarkably bad finale. Could not give less of a shit about what it thought it was trying to say... I'm actually so baffled.
Won 2 Store Champs in just under 24 hours. Played UR Prowess with a playset of horses that were all stars. Inklin token was a Sunspine Lynx. Friday UR Spellementals Mardu Discard UW Prison 4 Colour Control Saturday Mono White Tokens Mardu Discard UW Prison Dimir Excruciator 4 Colour Control
Spellementals still fun Jeskai Lesson Control Sultai Elementals Superior Dimir 4 Colour Control Mirror Prowess UW High Noon Turns out you don't really need Winternight anymore with Critiques. Really like the Horse / Gigastorm sideboard plan. Laughed at many Ghost Vacuums. @fireshoes.bsky.social
Started working at my small town arcade / bowling alley bar and let me tell you, I am out of practice at standing for long periods. Here's to nearly 40.
Finding my way back to screamo has been really wonderful and healing. Some days all I'm doing is hanging with my pets and vibing too damn hard.
Got the 7-0 with the classic mommydom landfall MUs: 3x Mirror 2x UW Control 1x Temur Affinity 1x 4 Colour Control Tagging @sweetpotatojanuary.bsky.social and @fireshoes.bsky.social for grandeur
Trying to combat posting about my life / what I'm up to without feeling cringe about it. Small town life is peaceful but weird in it's own way I'm playing entirely too much Arena (see below) Helped release a sick new cassette demo by pals Body Nest (also below) Screamo still rules
Had a surreal moment of looking down and for a split second, completely forgetting I was tattooed.
Are there any sweeter words than, "This train will be bypassing Oakville station"?
At the big death metal show hoping someone appreciates my new Joanna Newsom hand tattoos
Blessed with some early autumn weather out in the cornfields...Yes, this is good.
Looking for a screamo sugar daddy to buy all my records so I give up the ghost and become a comic book nerd full time. Mostly serious, inquire within.
Amping myself up with dungeon synth to go on an epic QUEST (walking on a treadmill at a slightly brisk pace)
Til death do us part now includes helping out at the small town bowling alley on Friday night
I wanna be mysterious so bad but I just cannot shut the fuck up.
Leaving Toronto with more good feelings than bad and sometimes that's the most you can hope for.
At the screamo show wondering, "How does one lower back?" So this is 39.
