[Current Mood | blah ]

[Listening To | weather, and it's all bad ]

G’day, cunts. Aside from waking up early and feeling damp, I’ve had a nice morning of cuddles from my boys. I’m fairly certain the first time Podrick came in was after 4am, and Shawshank yelled at him to get away from the window. Pod left the bed for the time being. Some time later, he returned, skipping the window entirely and coming up to my pillow to make his demands. I didn’t check the time, I just accepted the furry 20lb mass on my chest and cuddled him. When he left, I dozed for another hour. Pod came back around for second snuggles, and by that time I was warmer, and more awake. I wrapped my arms around him, petting and whispering to him.

As planned, we did nothing yesterday. Shawshank played “San Andreas” and made brunch. I made french toast. While Shawshank played, I added some more random “atmosphere” to some of my cam stuff. There are a few overlays that I use to create the whole “ancient TV signal” vibe, which I can either easily swap out, or update on their own. My menu overlay – controlled by an HTML file – has a “hotline status” and “latest prophesy” section, both spitting out something random via JavaScript. I also have a small ticker crawl at the bottom of the screen, which scrolls silly disclaimers and “caller reviews”. That’s handled with a plain text file; I swap between three of them to keep things fresh. I added a bunch of shit to 🌈all the things🌈, so there’s less repetition.

I capped off the night with a soak in the tub, because this is a full, 5-day week for us both, and I expect it will feel longer.
