stupid first world achievements and successes

Kamloops is a great town. Loved heading up there when I lived in Van.

my fws (might be fwp) - became a first time home-owner......

Not exactly an FWS or FWP, but some EDM producer sent me a demo. Not really sure what to say to him.

Tell him there's no I in EDM.

One of the collab drawings I did with another illustrator was featured on one of those pages with 20k+ followers, which was nice

Kinda nsfw

I climbed a rock wall for the first time yesterday. Only made it about halfway up on the big one, as the strain on my forearms and fingers were quickly tiring me out.

Still, all this gym time over the past year and a half is paying off.

After several months of turmoil and uncertainty, things are getting back to normal. Whatever that is. I accepted a job with a new company downtown, but also have a chance with another, even better job. Great position to be in!

I did the sound design, mix, and some voice acting for a new cartoon show. My client called me up while laughing because he thought it was the funniest shit he had ever seen/heard. 

Sweeeeet.  A well known voice actress did a series of masterclass sessions at my studio, one for beginners, one for more advanced.  She was fascinating and I learned a lot.  I'd gladly take up voice acting as an alternate career in another life.  Or maybe for the second half of this one.

I was sent to an address that didn't appear to exist, with food for delivery.  No instructions were given, customer didn't answer their phone.  So after a 7 minute wait, I was permitted to leave and mark the delivery as completed (full pay).  The success here is that at the end of my shift I'm allowed to eat it.  Just found out it's both a full serving of hot wings, and a full serving of curry with both rice and naan bread.  Fuck yes.  It's about time this happened. 

I participated in a paintball tournament for the first time, as a mandatory event for work. But I kept getting sweaty and winded from all the crouching behind cover and having my helmet visor fog up five minutes into each round. Plus it was in the woods, so I had to be careful not to trip over tree roots and crap.

I was a total noob, but at least managed to get a head shot on a more experienced opponent, although I meant to hit him in the torso.

The only time I paintballed their was this little psychopathic kid, maybe 10 years old, who would continue shooting people after his first hit, despite any "ow stop you already hit me!" type shrieks from his targets.  Luckily I was on his team, but it definitely put a dark slant on the whole paintballing experience.

Solved the First Box puzzle

Do you slide suggestion notes into the slot?  That would be my solution.  Seems reasonable.

FWS: can rest easy now knowing I do not need a passport to travel within my own country.  Ontario tour saved!  PS who here lives in Ontario?  

Last Memory Glands tape sold out in 24hrs.

Also 4 are being stocked by this Barber & Tape Store in Hokkaido and two in Lobster Theremin store in London Fields

Nice one!

One of the ladies I've been chatting with via the dating apps is using my last Zephyr Nova album (Shivering Towers) as the playlist for her art gallery.  Pretty fucking cool.  I may inquire about performing there sometime.  It's in another city, but only a short ferry ride away.

Got legit booty called last night. Girl even sent an uber to deliver me to hers when I explained I was drunk, broke and in my pyjamas :^)

Recently did a whole lot of sound design and music for one of my favorite studio monitor companies and a video game I've been working on for the past 2 years is getting released on 17 days on Xbox, PS4, Switch, Mac, and PC.

Pretty excited for all of it.

I've taken up tarot, and it's going pretty well. Have had some spookily accurate readings and so will continue. 

Just made my first batch of salsa verde, from scratch. Turned out better than expected.

But now my fingers have an odd, lingering salt burn/tingle sensation. Not sure whether it's from the garlic cloves or the whole jalapeno pepper I chopped. Probably the latter.

gotta be careful with chiles, theyre no joke!  and keep in mind jalapeños are on the far mild end of the spectrum.  i had a horrible experience where i accidentally brushed my eye after chopping serranos, it was the most horrible burn for 20m and i was worried it would cause eye damage but luckily it went away with time and eye drops. never again.  now when i chop chiles i always prep the space, avoid excess handling, and clean / trash the remains quickly

Let us know the name of the game when it drops? Or before if possible...

real talk.

Once chopped a bunch of fresh green chillies. Washed hands thoroughly. Went for a piss. 

Turns out it wasn't a thorough hand washing as I thought.

All I did was touch the sides of my dick. Turns out that skin is just as sensitive to chilli oil.
