2025 - 2024
Here's my little blog where I mostly put random little fun things and adventures I go on!

2025 08 21



I managed to trip over a low part of a fence and snapped my ankle a bit last week. Nothing torn, but I just need to rest it. In the meantime I've just been rearranging the balcony garden, printing stickers and making backups. I also started playing Path of Exile with friends again!

Currently also trying to stay off Youtube. There's a small protest against YT trying to determine your age by using it's AI / LLM to profile you. The idea is to not even use a frontend for it. No Newpipe or Revanced version of the app or site. No traffic to YT all together.
I've always been a bit of a hoarder so of course I downloaded whole channels of Vapourwave and D&B mixes ages ago. I also just have all the music I've downloaded or ripped since like 2002 and onward.
I also got a sequine little dress which is something I've wanted for ages since I put one on a 2ndlife character like 20 years ago and Felt Something™.

Stayed up to watch the Poseidon meteor shower!
I saw 2 faint lines quickly dash across the horizon. Intercity light pollution stole the stars from me ages ago.

It's summer and all I do is sweat and grind a day job.
I used to go out a lot. Day, night, it didn't matter I used to go into a small wooded area near my house and just play with sticks with friends. We used to go to the beach. Sometimes because an old school of mine was in walking distance and they had a mall right by the shore. Sometimes because a few of my metalhead friends lived close to the coast and we'd just make dubious campfires and drink. I used to bike to a neighbouring town almost every saturday to a alternative place that opened at 11 and closed at 4 AM. We've gone into the farmlands and hung with some of the metalheads there. Hang around in greenhouses or watch them fling batteries into a campfire hidden in the middle of a forest.

I still go to little gigs, I do day trips to festivals nowadays instead of sleeping in a hole in the ground tripping my shit for 4 days. I went to the Museum and the Aquarium this year! It just feels like it's always so far between all these little things. A lot of my friends have their careers, husbands, wifes, daughters, sons and everything else. Where they transitioned into a new balance with a better and nicer jobs then stocking shelves, I just had less people to hang with and I blamed myself. I was alone for a while. A long while. Virtually Isolated has a meaning, sometimes.

Went to Castlefest again this year! The weather was supposed to be a little rough and it was, but I got very lucky with hiding away from the rain a whole bunch!



I got to see this funny little piece on the walk to the place from one of the stations again.



I didn't have super specific things I wanted to do on the Saturday. I mostly wanted to wander about, look at cool & cute peeps and hang with my friends.




We watched the Wicker being lit together!



On the Sunday I went with a sibling who had never been to Castlefest. They were constantly just going "Oooh, so cool!" while passing people in costume and they got a lot of little smiles and giggles for the quick compliments. They had gone to festivals before and were so amazed at how amazingly accesable it all was. They mentioned seeing plates being put down on the grass as soon as it even looked like it could be a problem for people in wheelchairs and other mobillity aids. I told them I've always known it as the most chillest festival I have ever been to. I told them I refer to the whole festival as "the village". How everyone is willing to look out for eachother and I have personally never had to worry about stealing and such.

They wanna go again next year. We'll see how we do!

I got the cat babies a big rat to play with, but I've started to pity the little thing and regret not just putting this on the shelf.

2025 07 21



My bike was trashed after the accident so I'm using an absolute wreck of a replacement. I need to tune it a little more.

Because I suppose it is Summer Vacation (for everyone else), I should do more nice things outside. I found a sunny afternoon with a short shift to take the long, long, long way home from work. I do have Castlefest coming up soon though! Can ya believe it's already almost been a year?

2025 07 19



Still waiting on my elbow to really close up, but it's back to work monday regardless!
I've just been reading a little, looking back at my own forums and thinking about maybe slowly appearing a little here and there. Had a funeral. But it's all right.

2025 07 14



I went to the physician today for a quick checkup on my arm.
I told them at the end I wanted to start HRT. The doc was a little taken aback, but gave me room to schedule an appointment to just talk about things.
My problem was that I had not gone to the physician for ages. So long that I had technically switched GP's twice without ever meeting them.
My old doc scaled down their hours until they retired and gave all the patients to other places.

Now that I've jumped that first (and mostly emotional) hurdle, I have to prepare to fight to get on a 3 year waiting list. Small steps I suppose.

Irel the Dunmer Nightblade is playing Morrowind! I wonder what character she'll make...

2025 07 08



On the way home from work I hit a patch of cratery, crappy asphalt and lost my grip. I ended up busting open my elbow, bit of my side and barely kept my knee from being shredded open. Disinfected, gritted my teeth and bandaged up soon enough after grabbing some pics incase work complains. Sleeping is dreadful when I can't lay on my normal side. We'll manage.

Have a pic of some gifts I got for friends I'm seeing soon!

2025 07 04



I remembered a post with a mini PNGtuber tutorial that I saw a few months ago. Out of nowhere I wanted to try it and make this real quick for fun! I mostly used it to make my friends laugh on video chat! Not actually thinking about streaming though. Pic crew courtesy of Shhrnw!

In my best Fable 1 villager voice; The sky's real pretty today!.

2025 06 29



They were building, prepping and holding the Natotop in the city, so for the past weeks everything was a mess. Everything blocked off, most construction or road work had to be postponed for the event. Police everywhere constantly holding up traffic coming from the highway to get 1 car through. Tons of those Sting Ray vans and bugged cell phone/5g towers being set up everywhere.

I took a little break from work as this all raged through the city. We're in a weird little heat wave again and I had helicopters fly over the house every 15 minutes for weeks.

2025 06 24



Some one had to make a choice between a fist full of snickers bars and a tin of sardines at the check-out. Chocolate won.

2025 06 21



I had messed around with my OS's before and their visual styles. I used to love getting those replacement loading screens for old Windows XP and going past some of those fun "Hack Windows" sites that had tons of fun software. Stuff to change the colour schemes to just the right tint of blue I wanted or ""cool"" widgets for my desktop like weather and a mini RSS feed.

I have always been in touch with my nostalgia and engage with it on a regular basis. Going back every so often helps keep the rose-tinted glasses from slipping on. We can look back fondly to like 2000, but never forget that plenty of stuff was garbage from day 1.

So, for the summer I've XP'ified my main PC for funsies. It's just a very simple combination of WinAeroTweaker and Open Shell. I've mostly had to get used to slapping shortcuts back on the desktop. I stopped doing that when I could pin my 6 most used programs to the taskbar and just Windows Key + name of what I need for the rest.

But, there is some joy in having the old 2 column start menu back. One of the best things to me is that using the search box limits you to your own PC. Instead of Win10 and the rest instantly just trying to google for the file you just have right there, it'll just do the common sense thing and show me that file.
XP may have had it's problems, but I've always found it very user friendly in it's more mundane operations.

A friend is visiting and I got more stickers for my laptop!

2025 06 11



Found another picture of my old cat and his daughter from like 20 years ago.

2025 06 10



I had these boring and uninteresting records laying around that I got from a massive box ages ago. I grabbed a few and tried something I had thought about for a while, slap little cute flags and whatever on them and fill some empty spots on the walls!

2025 06 07



Went to a neighboring city for Pride again this year! We met up and watched the boat parade in the half rain and half sunshine! We roamed a little, grabbed some lovely dinner at a quaint vegan place and had a mini houseparty to close for the people leaving early. Like me! I had a train to catch and a walk to make back home. Met some wonderful and cute new people! A little thing I do feel is that I don't often see "new" trans people around my age, but there was a boat with more elderly queer and trans people and I was happy to see something like that!

Kitty cat came back! Just came back after a while via the balcony like nothing happened. His brother is calm again and life continues like he didn't just take a holiday.

2025 05 22


I guess some people ain't a fan!

2025 05 17


Found an old cute picture of the previous generation of cats we used to have.

2025 05 10



It's been 3 days since one of my little cat babies didn't come home. His brother is on the balcony all the time, meowing at me more than usual and sometimes being very skittish around me. I keep asking him if he's found anything yet and that I'm trying what I can, too. I've already put up flyers in mailboxes and lamp posts while talking to the neighbors. Now I just kinda of shake a bag of treats every few hours by the window.

When going home from my current post at work I pass a crossing where I slap little stickers sometimes. They always tear them off, but today I saw some one slapped this one up there! If you're here, I love you!


2025 05 03

I went to Comic Con this weekend for a day! I got up early and decided to make it a full day out. Left the babies some extra water for the day and Little Wing saw me off.


After an hour and a half of just reading my little Punk Stories book on the trams and trains, I got to the city!



I found mountain of dirt that prides itself on being inclusive. Gave me a slight chuckle.

I didn't know where to go besides a rough route from a Map app, but I figured there were signs and cosplayers to follow! I already caught some Goth-sune Miku's here & there and it just turned what could have been a long, confusing trek into a quaint walk in the sun while checking out fun & cool cosplays!

I didn't really take pics with people because it was a little busy and I didn't wanna bother others too much. I saw so many fun Miku's, I saw a lot of Star Wars troopers, a herd of cute furries and so many intricate Baldurs Gate cosplays and such!



The main entry hall has some fun stands but the main first hall was a little corporate. Some "Test out our high spec gaming solutions!" booths that are just running like Minecraft or Fall Guys. Some TV station doing quizzes for branded goodie bags, you get the vibe. There were long lines for meet & greets, but I didn't have any one in particular I wanted to say something to, I did walk by the sides and saw Charles Martinet glance past me with a little side smile. Good enough for me! He looked good!



After a quick soda I wandered into the larger dealer dens and just walked around for ages, looking at all the fun stuff! I saw a place that was selling Gengar plushies, but I was never able to find it again. I went past a little Dutch Fur Community booth and looked for a bit. I caught bits and pieces of the Song Contest and other performances. Saw Dead Pool breaking it down sexy style.

I also encountered the dakimura pillar of worship. It greeted you as soon as you walked into 1 of the large dealer halls.



I loved watching people line up for a little corner of arcade machines which ran a whole slew of different games! Shooters, Mario Kart, Capcom VS Marvel, Mortal Kombat, Dokepon and I also saw some one playing the Sailor Moon fighting game!

I also saw cute robots!



I didn't stay till it closed for the day. I wandered out a bit after 6 to get dinner and get a good enough line back home.




In the end the trip cost more then the haul I got. I got myself the 2 plushies and the Star Trek Fan club thing for a friend. I'm sure he could appreciate the vibe. Some one also gave me an issue of Donald Duck. I did used to read it ages ago! He was going to sell me a years worth but I had to be like "I don't see myself reading this anymore." Still got the issue though.



He's so pathetic, I love him.

2025 05 02



I found Waldo! He was on the back of a traffic sign all along!

2025 04 29


I got one of those rodent plushies they sell at gas stations here from some one. I gave him some piercing's to start and zip tied him to my work bag.


2025 04 16


I made a morrowind sticker with a typo, but I didn't care and slapped it on my laptop.


2025 04 14


I printed some horrible stickers again!


2025 04 13


I tried to install Linux Mint and this is honestly as far as I got. I was however able to install regular Ubuntu on this laptop!

2025 04 02

Went past the boulevard, some shops and a thrift store today after groceries!
Ages and ages ago I would go to Sea Life and for the heck of it I went again!

First I passed through the dying mall. It already has dead corridors! Bought some makeup that isn't just pure black for once.


I snapped a few tiny videos, but Neocities won't take those from me. Ah well.





I also went under the pier and saw these fun pieces!





I also saw a giant LEGO giraffe outside of the LEGO World we apparently have here!



I also bought myself a small shark plushie! My shark girlfriend deserves a smaller boyfriend.


My collections of creatures is growing!


2025 03 22





Went to Filthy Folk Fest! A little fun night organized by some people I know in the western/country scene here. Fun bands, got to try the Sunfire themed-and-brewed beer finally!



Also hung around with some friends and met some people I've been in voice chats with for a while! I polluted the area with my daft little stickers again!




2025 03 08



I went to a local museum today! Just for fun by myself really.
There was a themed exhibit about sustainable living and environmentalism that had some fun interactive elements.


I also bought this scruffy, made of recycled materials fluffer! Jo and me named him Jerry and decided he's a metalhead! I also gave him a cool collar with skulls!
More pictures and text in this little tumblr post I made about it!

2025 02 25




Slapped some of those little runescape wizard stickers around and some of the smaller "Be Gay Do Crime" ones. Problem is that I'm currently using lesser quality sticker paper so any drops of rain start ruining these pretty quick. Oh well. All the more reason to keep it up!
2025 02 20


Found a large collage of printed magazine pages written over and handwritten pages suck under a bridge near work.
Interesting little esoteric thing I can't make sense of yet.
2025 02 15



Printing more silly stickers! It's the old Runescape Mage edit that was on the site back when it was still made in tables.
2024 02 14


I didn't really do anything that romantic on Valentines Day this year, like most years. Work work work. Should have send more cute messages around. Maybe I should just do that regardless.
I did go to see my friends in another one of their theatre productions in the evening! It was a fun and cute story based on Guards Guards from Terry Pratchett!


I always try to go to the first show and sometimes that leaves me going solo. I still get lost getting to the theatre from the station and vice versa.

2025 02 05


Cute little sign outside a local bar, getting ready for Loud Single's Awareness Day.

2025 02 05


I found a froggy friend for Lucky! He was out by the trash tucked under a dismantled wardrobe and I had to get him. A wash later and he gets to hang with Lucky in my little memento cupboard.

2025 02 05


Here and there I slap stickers on the pots I give away at the local little Green Library for plants. Soon I can start growing stuff again!

2025 02 03


Even thought it was just for work, I got to spend part of the week in a tranquil forest. I wanted to snap a nice pic of the woods and the moon in the dark, but my phone is trash.

2025 01 18


BE GAY DO CRIME

2025 01 17


I'm still putting up random stickers on street lamps and anything not belonging to just regular people.
The Virtually Isolated one I sometimes slap around is just simple printer sticker paper, so after some rain it gets nice and fuzzy.
But! When I came by the same spot a few days later I saw some one put their cute fursona sticker above it! Love you!

I like having a random acoustic guitar around. I can just pick it up, play the 3 riffs I know and then carry on. The E string keeps snapping lose though. Eh, cheap ass guitar from goodwill. Needs a few little fixes here and there.
New Years was fun! Went by some friends, drinks, snacks and I pet a scared doggie!
