General | Posted 3 years agoSaw comet Neowise.
General | Posted 5 years agoVery faint. Hard to see, even with binoculars. Had to see it from my peripheral vision, otherwise it disappears when I look directly at it.
Nearly got hit in the face with a stupid bat. Lowered the binoculars at the same moment a bat was flying right at my face. It turned a foot away from me as it was flying at the last second. Scared the shit out of me.
Talked with the neighbor, and she said she'd come out to watch the comet with me tonight. I called her and let her know it was out there, but she flaked out. Decided it was too much trouble to walk up the driveway to see it, and gave up. Fine. Not like I wanted to spend the moment stargazing with anyone again anyways. I took one last look, and went back inside early. Could hardly see the fuzzy snowball anyways.
Once in a lifetime event. Just like the rest of 2020, it sucked.

20 year mystery solved!
General | Posted 5 years agoCryptorchid! That's the name of the fffffffffffffarking song I've been trying to find the name of for most of my life!
I heard it on the radio only ONE time, and they never said the name of the song. All I could remember was it was a sort of slower song, and had a part with the vocals are all distorted in a certain way.
It has been driving me nuts since I was a kid. It was one of those little mysteries that you never think to which you'll ever find the answer. Figures it was in the very, very, very last place I looked. -__- Not keen on the album title, so I think I'll pass on buying the song. Lol.

Tonight's tunes.
General | Posted 5 years agoPlease don't kill me. -^__^;-
General | Posted 5 years agoTurns out I am indeed taking the same kind of heart medication my mom's taking. Yaay... ^___^;; So this'll be fun. Fingers crossed that this doesn't make me start singing about a Daisy girl.
Pretty anxious. Gonna see how well my body can handle it. My blood pressure this morning before the pill, was about 119/86 or so, and my heart rate was at about 86. When I'm at the doctor's I'm up to like 107 for the heart rate.
I might not be as functional while I'm taking this, but hopefully I'll still be kicking. Wish me luck, and prayers are welcome.
*Update*
So far so good. I'm a little tired, and I took my stats , and they're only down slightly (like, really slightly.) When my mom took this medication, it nearly dropped her in an instant, like someone flicked a switch. But for me, I only went down 1-3 points.
Smoke from a local fire is drifting in our way, so it's all hazy outside right now. We've got the air on, and I'm doing okay for now.
*Update 2*
Second stats test; similar results. Blood pressure dropped a little more, but still in a good range, and my heart rate dropped by 1 again. Overall been feeling okay once the initial fuzziness wore off. This dosage is having a far more minimal effect than I expected. Hmm, I wonder if it gradually has more effect over time as I take it?

Some nice animation and tuneskies.
General | Posted 5 years agoBreaking news!
General | Posted 5 years agoHealth update.
General | Posted 5 years agoHad my appointment today. No AC in the car, and it's stupidly hot out. Plus I can't breathe in that mask. Blah.
One of the specialists never contacted me. The CT imaging center told me to go eat a bag of dicks, and die in a ditch again. So the doctor has to talk to them directly and demand the dang thing. The doctor is going to try and put me on a new medication that I'm a little wary of. They can't figure out why my heart rate is through the roof, so they're going to try and slow it down, but it will also drop my blood pressure.
Blah, I'm a mess. Overall I'm feeling fairly well at the moment. A bit stressed from the heat, and not being able to breathe with the mask, but aside from that I'm feeling sort of fine for now.
Fingers crossed. ^__^;

Wow. Didn't quite expect that.
General | Posted 5 years agoI suddenly lost ten watchers over night. O_o Huh. Okay. Not sure what triggered that, especially since I hadn't done anything in the past several days. But that just means more room for new watchers. *Shrugs*
So, I just saw Pony Life.
General | Posted 5 years agoಠ___ಠ It was as stupid, vapid, and pointless as I expected. Just a low effort dangling of keys.
I quite literally had a better time speaking with the nice folks at Amazon while helping me sort out some charges on my credit card. I'm not joking.
I was right. It's low quality trash, just like what the trailers offered. I wish they had just kept doing more Equestria Girls episodes, and give us a proper ending, maybe with the mane 7 heading off to college or something.

Congrats Badgers of 2020!
General | Posted 5 years agoCongrats to the class of '20. You made it! It's been a pretty wild year, but hopefully things will be easier in the years to come.
I didn't do the parade around the school during my graduation, though I think they only started doing that sometime after my graduating class. It looked very much like it would have back then, though I know that with all the money my class raised for the school, it transformed dramatically. Paved walkways; actual stairs instead of risking our necks climbing up and sliding down the dirt hills; an actual cafeteria; fancy new permanent classrooms instead of a bunch of portables... Man, I want to go back one of these days, and just have a walk through the empty campus.
I wonder if the science teacher ever found the recording equipment or the jumbo-sized fire extinguisher people stole back then?
Wish I took more photos of campus when I attended. I have some, but a ton of them are slides, and are really tiny... Ugh, why didn't they have us do more digital photography in that ROP Multimedia class? >.<
Well, anyways, I don't want to ramble here all night with nostalgia. Congo-ratz once again, Badgers! Good luck with college, and the job hunt. :)

Soo... PDF character sheets not so good.
General | Posted 5 years agoI figured out why it's been taking me so long editing these PDF D&D character sheets. Not only are parts of it not saving, but it looks like they're actively being erased when I'm not looking. I took screenshots. Had all the updated information there. I went to check my other browser for a few minutes, and when I came back to look at the character sheet, I found information that was on there in the screenshots, were now deleted.
So what the heck is this? At first I thought it was just D&D Beyond not saving it properly, but now it seems it's actively undoing random parts of my updates.

Umm... I think the post office might be broken.
General | Posted 5 years ago*Pokes.* Okay... Uh, I'm really not sure what's going on with this. Before my package kept going from Fresno to Newark, and then back to Fresno, before being sent in the right direction. The second order is now doing the same thing, but even more confusing is one of the other parts of my second order is coming separately. Just one book... went from Baltimore, to Laurel, back to Baltimore... and then back to Laurel. One book. Did you not have enough people cough on it or something? I'm not paying shipping and handling just to have the postman drive around in drunken circles here. It's been going through the main for a couple days now, and it hasn't even left the state. =__=
Seriously, what is this? I'm legitimately asking. Once upon a time—at least as far as I was aware—when Amazon shipped something, it went from the seller to the mail, and then directly to the customer. What's this back and forth nonsense?

Just when I thought it was safe...
General | Posted 5 years agoUgh. I was getting impatient to put in my last Amazon order because of the riots and looting. I figured since the last one took two weeks for them to even get off their ass to prepare it for shipping, I hoped things would settle down by the time they get around to shipping it.
To my surprise, they shipped parts of it early. I'm thinking: yay! It might arrive super early this time!
Then I wake up and see the tracking they once again shipped it to another city way out of the way from us. I was expecting it to arrive this morning, but it looks like it's coming "tomorrow".
... Then I saw the news report: Californian Amazon distribution facility burns down to the ground. Total loss for all packages inside.
=___= Fuck.
Semi-good news is that it was a different facility. But still, the ENTIRE distribution center is completely burned to the ground. Everything was lost in it.
*Edit* Another article said that it wasn't owned by Amazon, but they did use the facility, and had a ton of Amazon trucks parked at the distribution center.

Grad night anniversary.
General | Posted 5 years agoNot something I generally keep track of, but thanks to a recent intense dream, made me aware of it again. Curious timing, as the anniversary isn't that far off. "I'm paroled on June 11th!" as we used to say near finals. As shitty as high school was for me at the time, it still holds this magical innocent nostalgia of days before I was catapulted into the shit-pit of the real world.
Curiously enough, after all these years I'm actually doing the very thing I wanted to do after grad night, but wasn't allowed to. I'm having one last extended summer vacation, getting to relax and just have fun away from all the stress from school and shit. I sleep in all day, stay up all night long; I'm playing video games all day if I want; I can draw, write my stories, dream about video game designs, and heck, I'm even getting back into playing Dungeons & Dragons for the first time since high school!
I never did achieve any of my dream jobs. I got stuck cleaning toilets, mopping floors, and making beds. The best I ever made it was doing data entry as a clerk, but that was also arguably the worst, due to all the smoke and stress. Though that's what ultimately put me in this "extended summer vacation" in the first place. Times have been rough; definitely my health. The summers seem hotter these days, though maybe it's because I didn't have as many electronics generating so much heat all the time in my room. Just me and my Super Nintendo, and Playstation in my room, and the big chunky computer in the other room, with slow-ass internet. (Though now it's just my computer and my Xbox One, but those things are pumping out SO much more heat than anything I had back in the day!)
About the only thing I didn't get to do on this vacation is hang out in person with my friends; though I at least get to send notes back and forth to my friend. I'm still sitting back and watching episodes of The X-Files. Sometimes I'd put on an old anime, or binge-watch some old cartoons I grew up with. I'm still dreaming of adventures, and rolling my new dice by myself.
My neighbor pities me. She says I never go out to town, or to the city, and do stuff. She doesn't realize I have such a rich inner life. It may not be perfect, but if I drive all the way to town, I'd be doing the same exact thing as I would be at home. I'd just put my earbuds in, blast my ears out of existence, and daydream.
"You could go hang out at a bar, or a restaurant or something."
And do what? Sit in the corner and twiddle my thumbs until I leave? That's why I didn't even go to the prom (of course if I wasn't so oblivious at the time, I would have realized a female friend of mine was asking me TO the prom, and not asking IF I was going to the prom, I might have changed my mind...)
Seriously, what would I even do if I went to town by myself? I'd just be sitting in the empty booth, munching on some bread sticks with a soda from the Pizza Factory, and nobody would ever approach me, or talk to me. Heck, I can do that from home (though their bread sticks are SUPER YUMMY!)
*Sighs* I dunno. It's weird. I've been feeling both nostalgic and a sort of finality or mortality lately. Maybe it's a similar sort of butterflies in my stomach that I had back in finals week. End of an era; end of an age? A new chapter of life? Though this current chapter feels to be the longest one so far, with no signs of ending anytime soon, unless my health takes an unfortunate turn (but for now, seems... okay-ish? Not entirely confident, but my anxiety may likely be blowing it out of proportion).
On the 11th, I'm planning on writing myself a note from the future in 2020. There's still plenty of room on the last page of my yearbook, though I found a few loose pages stapled together, which don't appear to be from my senior yearbook, but they're signatures from my graduating class. I can't remember where I got these extra blank pages from, but it seems I used it primarily to get my friends' and classmate's signatures for the most part, without any other designated blank pages to write in. I want to write my past self a note, and an update on the crazy year of 2020 I've had so far. I'm a little surprised we're halfway through it already. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.
Ha... I remember trying to jump in front of any camera (video or still), because I was damned determined to be noticed in the yearbook and the end-of-year video (the latter of which they actively cut me out of every scene, right before I appeared on camera... I'm lookin' at you Sconce! >:( Nya!) While I was promptly cut from the end-of-year video (again), in favor of cheerleader butts (again, I cock my eyebrow at you Sconce...) I did make a few front and center appearances in my senior yearbook.
—Now that I've browsed through it, I made far fewer appearances than I thought I did. There was my class photo, and then the big group shot where I made sure to stand right out in front with my X-Files hat, shades, and combat boots (in the blazing heat that day.) Hmm. Seems after the awkward wardrobe malfunction I had during junior year's club photos, I didn't do any senior year. I thought for sure I had joined in at least the skate club photo, but apparently not. The art and anime club I started was far too small to even be recognized, as it was just me and like one or two other people getting together during lunch to watch anime and doodle... Oh well. :/ I was never popular then, and I'm still not popular now. *Rolls eyes* One of these days I'll expand my social circle, lol.
Well, it's 2020, and I've survived this far. Let's hope I get to play several dozen more levels of this game of life! <3 It may not be everything I've dreamed of, but I'm having a lot of fun dreaming.
Rock on, and keep hanging in there!

D&D character sheet PDF solved.
General | Posted 5 years agoWell, sort of. I think I found the issue that was causing the file corruption (after painstakingly redoing the entire thing umpteen times all night long, until I found the culprit). It seems some of the text I copied and pasted from the website for the character class details had web links in them, (either that, or the text was just simply too long, since it still corrupted the file even when I copied/pasted it as plain text to and from a notepad document). Once I got rid of that part, it seems to be saving normally again.
Now that it's 5 a.m., I finally got done what should have been so simple, and would have been done many hours ago. One character sheet. Pfft. Technically, I'm still not done with it, because I have to fill out the backstory, and all that jazz.

PDF problems (D&D character sheets)
General | Posted 5 years agoBlah. For whatever reason, Microsoft Edge won't let me save my character sheets anymore. It was working just fine these past few days, but out of the blue, it gives me some error, and won't let me save anymore. I try to Save As, but that just leaves an empty file. I closed the browser, and tried again, and I think it let me save once, and then did the same thing. I tried to open it in Brave, but half the text doesn't even show up (it's still there when highlighted though). I don't know what happened. :/
So am I going to have to print it out, scan it into Clip Studio, or simply fill it all out again by hand, and scan it? Pain in the ass...

Testing the new dice!
General | Posted 5 years agoOkay, I did a couple quick die tests. I think my original orange die knew it had to put some effort into it, and I'm a little surprised that it beat out the glow dice and the copper one, despite my initial test rolls. When I unboxed the new dice, I rolled a handful of times, and they all rolled rather well, with several nat 20's in a row on one of them. So this time I marked down what each die rolled, and totaled the numbers of ten rolls together.
My original cursed orange plastic die: 89 (the only double digit rolls were a 17, two 15's, and an 11)
Glow metal die: 81 (dude, what happened here? You were doing so well earlier! The highest I rolled were two 16's)
Copper die: 84 (again, I'm a little surprised by this outcome. Got as many double digit rolls as the plastic die, but the highest was a 13.)
Gold die: 141 (with two nat 20's to boot! This one had by far the highest rolls, with only three of them being in the single digits.)
I think I know which set I'm gonna roll with for the most part!

Well, DA is dead.
General | Posted 5 years agoI had been using DA a lot more often recently, but now that they've killed the site with that Eclipse crap, I'll be mainly focusing on here.
Share! Do you have a D&D character?
General | Posted 5 years agoDo you have a D&D character you like to play? Have them introduce themselves! I'd like to see what kind of characters you like to play. ^___^
Interested in finding a D&D group.
General | Posted 5 years agoMy new dice, and Player's Handbook should be arriving soon-ish, and I can't wait to get back into D&D. I haven't played officially in so long (back in the days with negative AC, and THAC0 Tuesday...), I have to get used to the new 5e rules. I'd like to find a local group to play with, but I haven't been able to find anything yet. It would be easier on me to play over Discord, but I don't have a mic, or a camera, so I don't know how well that will work.
I've already made about half a dozen characters that are ready to play, along with the start of a new homebrew world with some interesting weather hazards. I'm torn between wanting to DM to share this world and to play all the characters I just made, but I'm a bit out of shape with my DM'ing experience, and I do want to try my luck being the player for once... but I also want to play in my new world I'm making. ^__^; I like to homebrew a lot of stuff, and I don't know if other DM's would be okay with it.
My social skills with small groups has been... hmm, lacking, methinks. It would be good to practice getting over my social anxiety, and interact with more people. However, with my health, it is always taking major hits against my stamina and focus. While I have the time to play lengthy campaigns, I fear I don't have the endurance or the energy to keep up a lengthy session on the regular.
The spirit is willing, but the body is saying: "fuck you, I need to lay down for another six hours for the rest of the night..."
*Sigh* I dunno. I'd like to find a good close-knit group that is experienced, and willing to put up with a newbie with the most minimal HP and dreadful Con stat. Lol. I'd also like it if the group leaves real world politics at the door, because I don't want any drama kicked up over tribal leanings.
I'll be looking around for a while, since I still have some time to wait until my handbook arrives (and I am NOT playing with this currently cursed d20! I tried a solo encounter with some goblins, and it turned into a freakin' slap fight, with neither side landing a hit, except for smacking their own hands every time I rolled a 1...), and I need to brush up on all the new rules, though I have a general understanding on some of the rolls and ability checks.
I've already made about half a dozen characters that are ready to play, along with the start of a new homebrew world with some interesting weather hazards. I'm torn between wanting to DM to share this world and to play all the characters I just made, but I'm a bit out of shape with my DM'ing experience, and I do want to try my luck being the player for once... but I also want to play in my new world I'm making. ^__^; I like to homebrew a lot of stuff, and I don't know if other DM's would be okay with it.
My social skills with small groups has been... hmm, lacking, methinks. It would be good to practice getting over my social anxiety, and interact with more people. However, with my health, it is always taking major hits against my stamina and focus. While I have the time to play lengthy campaigns, I fear I don't have the endurance or the energy to keep up a lengthy session on the regular.
The spirit is willing, but the body is saying: "fuck you, I need to lay down for another six hours for the rest of the night..."

Apparently OUR house is for... sale? O__o
General | Posted 5 years agoWell, that's news to us. There's a website that people in the local area sign up for, and my aunt found somebody had put our house up for sale on the site for some reason.
So, WTF?

Health update!
General | Posted 5 years agoSo, after a really, really long wait, I got my doc appointment today. Looks like my platelets are pretty low; my abdominal pain has subsided and I pray it has run its course, but my new doc is going to fight to get me a CT scan, to see what all is going on in there (and they're gonna inject me with that glowy-glowy stuff, that I'm told should make me "feel warm and tingly". Maybe radioactive.)
They hooked me up to an EKG and the results...

So somehow my heart is PERFECTLY NORMAL. Except for those times at home when it isn't.
So we got a few things to work towards going forward. Gonna have to get back on the Nordic Track again, and get back to being more active. Fingers crossed.
Cute the inspirational tuneskies!

Just heard the news that the near-local internet meme celeb passed away.
Godspeed good sir, and may you marvel at the grandest of double rainbows in heaven.

Report card. :O
General | Posted 5 years agoAs I was digging through my closet, collecting and un-wrinkling all the loose leaf pages of my old various Monstrous Manuals for D&D, I came across my 9th grade report card for my first semester. (I also found it amusing that my student ID number was nearly exactly as my last work ID number, which also happens to be close, if not the same, number as the one from a popular anime. :P
Apparently my grades were fairly well balanced with the same number of A's, C's, and D's across the board, with only one B. Lol.
Art: C-
Business: D
English: C
History: D
Math: B
# A-
Science: A-
I was a bit of a mild science nerd as a kid. I'm still surprised I ever got any decent grade in maths. I'm a little surprised by the average art grade, but then again, our teacher was the same one who would say "there's no wrong way to do art, but you aren't doing it right," and then not elaborate on what we supposedly did wrong. But still, in the end I was one of the only serious art students he had, and I did score the art scholarship by the time I graduated.
I also found a photograph of our old lunch area, above the art room, next to the bathrooms. We called it "Freak Grove". I still remember the slice of cheese with a melted spork (or a regular plastic fork) melted to it., stuck on the concrete pillar by the bathroom.
Ah, good times. They sucked. But still nostalgic.
