Started moving to Olympia yesterday.

had a series of video interviews with FB I did... okay but not great? I shall see this coming week

I got cold called (erm... cold emailed?) by a recruiter from Facebook. Dang. Did a prelim phone screen, and he seemed to like me. Uhhh... This would pay a lot of money, too 😮 well, "a lot of money" by my standards, actually a bit below average for a tech thing 😮

Thanks! I got it for free, as it was a sample we shot for last spring. I love it too. I can't remember the brand... "Urban youth" or something. I probably couldn't afford it, but somewhere along the line, I stopped needing to actually purchase clothing. I have so many shoes at the moment, there are at least 20 pairs I haven't even worn...

Love that shirt.

ANy of y'all WGBers have any interets in TTRPGs (D&D and Pathfinder are the most well-known, but I'm more interested in others)? I'm thinking of trying my hand at GMing. IDK. (TBH I flake out a lot, but, if there were legit interest, I would try to make sure I can commit). I'm near Seattle, so probably, like, weekend evenings, Pacific Time, would be when I'd run?

Been LANning 'Portal Knights' with Suzie. It's a cartoon-style, Minecraft-adjacent little adventure game, but it's big fun to play together and bellow to each other across the room.

He’s just chilling in his cat tree by me while I watch old movies lol. This week we’ve been working on not shredding or biting my hands and arms to the point of bleeding like I just walked through a cactus lol. He’s actually doing really well at it—he picked up that it wasn’t cool anymore after I started saying “ow” and gently pushing him away within a couple hours. A few minor relapses because he desperately wants to chew on something since he’s such a kitten still.

Sunset schmunset! GIVE US PHOTOS OF EL GATITO GUAPITO POR FAVOR

I like Max Barry and "The Names" is my favorite tale ever.... So, yeah, I will be hunting that down!

Finally got a copy of "Agency". Imma read it real slow.

MEANWHILE my brother and I changed a spark plug on our 1999 Buick. Buick with a transverse V engine. It was one of the spark plugs between the engine and the firewall. Hoooo boy, I sure do love transverse engines, now after like a half-dozen worker-hours of performing lathroscopic surgery to get that one damn spark plug out

My parents are basically giving me one of their cars to use when I move out in the upcoming weeks. I realize a 55K mileage, 2007 Kia Spectra isn't quite a new BMW for your 16th, but I still do appreciate the fact I get any car, at all, gratis, is a sign of privilege. It's an incredibly normie-looking car (which I don't mind). I keep, like, going up to other small, grey sedans in grocery store parking lots, clicking my remote.

Decided I'll move out of my parents' house, again, to Olympia. To wrap up my college degree.

I didn't get hired.
