Nothing quite like waking up, going to the computer, moving the mouse, it blue screens, reboots, fans go full tilt, CPU is 114 C, and the system shuts off. New AIO installed, system is running cooler than before it went ape shit. Though, the process of getting there was less than enjoyable. Cooler was so stuck to the CPU that it yanked the CPU out of the socket, even though it was locked. Then, I had to rewire half the case. Looks good, though.

It begins! First batch complete and ready to go. Hard to think that it's been a year since I started this project.

For my birthday, almost 30 years ago, my mother took me to the bookstore to pick out a gift. I picked out The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick. It has been my favorite book my entire life, and impacted me quite a bit. My fiance just gave me this for christmas. I am blown away.

Damn, shots fired. #EDS #disability

I spent an hour earlier gothifying our den. An hour of me feeding LEDs into the wall one LED at a time like the world's strangest string of anal beads. 13 feet worth.

Well, that was confusing as hell. "Hey hon? Can you come here?" "What's up?" "What the fuck is this on the floor?" I go into the den, lean over to look at this black cord on the floor. My partner reaches out to pick it up. It's a fucking snake. Nothing dangerous, just a northern ringneck.

I want to make more sewing projects. I think this is the last one I made a few years ago (other than some quick stitches or repairs).
