Shoes That I Have

Realized I have Footwear Autism, or something. A few things came together to realize this. My sweetie runs a shoe store, so I've been getting the good shoe hookup for the past buncha years. A while ago, she got me some shoes for around the house, and I loved them. I think they were some Crocs with a fuzzy lining. Loved wearing those things. Which made me realize that I hate walking around barefoot! I don't really like just socks either. I don't like the sensation! I hate to feel the floor on my ...

A birthday is not so fun anymore. Sure, I didn't plan on doing anything, and instead I took a gig so I mostly just worked on my birthday. My fault, I could have planned something. I could have said no to the gig and went to the aquarium with my sweetie and invited my friends to the bar. Oh well. I can still do all that. But an opportunity to run sound for a jazz gig that also introduces me to new people who can hire me? Don't wanna pass that up! But even still, it was uneventful. And I'm 35 now....

I've been wanting to skateboard for many years. Always too scared. I was a big ol' fan of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, since the first game came out, but that never really translated into an interest of skateboarding in the real world. I remember standing on a skateboard at Toys R Us when I was like ten but immediately didn't like it. Was scared of it. Also I think my parents discouraged it anyway. My brother was a skateboarder at the time and he'd occasionally come home all bloodied n shit, they did...

Trying to be a creative

Cortez is laying with me as I write this. He loves computer time. His head is in my way. I'm having a hard time with being a creative. I'm too tired to think about this post so I'll continue when it's not 1 am. It is now the 2nd of August and I'm gonna try and type this more.

I have another blog post from a few months ago that I only just started, the title is "The Austism Thang" because I'm been thinking about that for a while. The whole "am I austisic or not" has been coming up every so often the past few years and then I read "Unmasking Autism" by Dr Devon Price (I highly recommend) and there was too much that I strongly related to so now I'm trying to go through life with the idea that I'm autistic and well that's just something that's changing my perspective on ...

tech code dev beep boop

Originally posted on my Zonelets blog I like compooter, I think code is neat, I think hardware is neat, I think hackin' is neat, I think websites is neat. I just don't know how to do any of it! I want to learn! I've been dabbling in websites forever but I never got more than basic HTML/CSS, barely got into JS. It's hard for me! And I don't know how to learn things, which is a problem in many areas of my life. What is study? I dunno! I never became a good musician because of it. I keep wanting to...

Originally posted on my Zonelets blog Before 20205 ended I was going to write a post looking back on all the things I've done or that have happened in 2025 that I liked or whatever. A way to look back positively. And then I didn't write it. And then 2026 happened, and I woke up feeling really depressed and unaccomplished. And then I felt better. And now I'm going back to the idea of that post. So I guess here it goes, I hope there's actually enough to make me feel okay about the year. Oh boy, no...

Linux Gaming: My Experience

Originally posted on my Zonelets blog I love to use Linux! I'm a Mac gal, I have been for decades, but I also like to toy around with Linux. First tried dual booting OSX and Linux on my PowerPC eMac, and I didn't really have any use for that, but it was fun to do! I'm also a gamer! Getting my first Intel Mac, I was able to dual boot OSX and Windows and have my first machine capable of running stuff! It was great! Then there seemed to be a Valve push to get games on Linux, as we see now with Stea...

Moving my blog to pckt!

I'm finally moving my blog to pckt, something I've been wanting to do for a lil bit but never committed to because I really wanted a custom domain. And hey, they just introduced custom domains! So here we are! I was previously using Zonelets (https://zonelets.net/) for my website and blogging purposes, which I still do highly recommend!! Zonelets is more of a all-in-one thing with a landing page, archive page, custom pages, and blog, but I started a new site from scratch so the Zonelets blog did...

Custom Domain!1

Custom domains are here and that was the kick I needed to transfer my blog over here i'm very excited! Here have cat:
