This week.
Oh hey, I changed my blog layout again.
- Back in the day, there was a perfect pixel background that lent itself really well to my sort of goth/cyberpunk/Matrix-themed Geocities-level website (it was on batcave dot net, but yeah.) It came from one of those "free tiled backgrounds" sites from the early 2000s.
As most tiled backgrounds do, it looked terrible scaled at anything above 800x600 resolution, really. On this blog, at 1920x1080, it looks more like a hedgerow. But I've been trying to come up with an equivalent using filter > render > fractal in GIMP, and this current background is what I've managed to come up with so far. EDIT: I'm still playing around with different backgrounds to see what works best.
- Well, it's been unseasonably nice so far this week. It actually got down to 93 today: or as people here like to call it, "a cold snap."
- I have been fully sucked into the collective zeitgeist experience that is Baldur's Gate 3. More on this to come.
- More Trump indictments! You know, I'm really glad. I really thought he was going to be allowed to just scuttle away back into the woodwork and take up painting or something and rehab his image. Hell, his mishandling of Covid is already being memory holed, along with the worst parts of the Covid pandemic itself! But it does look like he is well and truly borked.
I really hope this shit sticks, we get to see mugshots, and he gets to see the inside of a prison cell. We collectively need this as a Nation.
- I hyperextended my right knee last month, and then accidentally did it again when it was almost healed. Now that it's almost healed again, and I realize how I did it and can hopefully avoid doing that again, I'm going to try starting up my exercise regimen again.
Here is what I was managing to do most days. But really this needs to be the stretching routine I do before actual exercise.
- This week's Magickal Tome is Damien Echols's Angels and Archangels: A Magician's Guide. I really like his style of writing and how he imparts the information.

Yay! indictmas season is here! RICO charges with mandatory minimum sentencing! w0000t!
those are good exercises, I may need to try that couch stretch one before I do my hip flexibility stuff. i am doing the exercises from my PT most days at 6pm with a few friends on discord. so if you want to get in on that good accountability buddy stuff, lmk?
i hope baldur's gate 3 is everything you've been hoping for from a game, without being enough of a hyperfixation/dopamine generator for your life to suffer from neglect. good luck!
Re: *jams to juno reactor*
I am liking BG3, but my most recent Skyrim bender has given me gaming fatigue. I've been playing a few hours on weekends in the few weeks its been out, but I'm enjoying seeing other people's gameplay videos. Looks like my hyperfocus is shifting back to website coding and graphic design. Which is ok because at least I'm being creative?
Sure, I'll text you about the exercise stuff!
