I think this sums up the relationship I have with Greggles. Someone says something the other person already knows, then some good ribbing and then games. ALthough, normally it is me who is already aware of things! 
Twitter is now 280 characters. I do not like it. The reason I liked twitter was that each post was short so easy to digest and get updates. I looks at long posts and I TLDR them. Go post on the facepage. 280 doesn't seem like a lot, but it is jarring now. 

It is October! I love this month. It is officially the fall, the colors of the leaves change, the weather gets cooler and things start to die down. Except for some reason I decided to get involved with all sorts of crafting projects. I'm participating in Inktober, so everyday I am drawing and inking a one shot piece based on a day's theme. It is fun, and hasn't really taken up toooooooo much time. However, it is time that I could be using to do the comic strips. If you haven't noticed I have changed things up a bit and now doing 1 Tales of the Dice and 1 Panoramic Enlightenment strip a week, Tues is TotD and Fridays being PE. On top of those drawing projects, I am going to try to do Dreadtober, which Greggles started a few years ago and has taken on a life of itself. I have  Talos primed and ready to go just gotta find the time! On top of that! There is a cosplay wedding at the beginning of November which I need to work on. I'm pretty psyched about making this since it has been on my list for about 2 years now. Just when I thought I could take a breather and relax...

I still love overwatch. This season I decided that I would actually try out the competitive mode. I finished my placing matches and ended up mid silver tier (which is better than bronze obviously). I made progress and got close to moving up to Gold. Since then I have played on terrible team after terrible team and now am at risk of dropping to Bronze which really upsets me. More than I expected. I'm a decent player. Well I can be. I just usually like to fool around and not play seriously most times in other modAt least that was what I thought... now I know the pain I cause...

It has been really rainy the last 2 weeks. These have been pretty bad storms. Flash flood warnings pretty much daily for a while. I live in a basement apartment. Flooding was a thing that I wasn't concerned about after the first storm and I saw how good the drainage was. The street was flooding, but my entrance ways were fine! Then one night while playing games, when I stood up my foot felt cold. Realized that the apartment was flooding. At least part of the backroom was. Fortunately I don't put things on the floor. The computer sits on top of my desk so all was good and I could keep playing!

The elegance of the rhetoric happening from leaders of the various people has been just been chaotic and unstable. It is scary and laughable all at the same time. It is sad that this is becoming mundane and a regular part of our lives. I try to avoid making comics or statements about politics, but what the hell. It reminds me of Siri and Alexa talking to each other if they were trying to outdo the other. Why can't we just have cute kitties and jokes?

Why do places make such ridiculous time frames for password updates? 60 days is far too frequent to be needing to create a new password. Specially for a system I never really use! I remembered my password to get into my account to change the password. For some reason it would not work. I tried the "forgot my password" option just in case I was incorrect. The system is stupid... before I finished filling out the required security check question, it actually showed my password in the answer text boxes. I quit out of that to attempt it again. It still did not work. So I did the full process and updated it. It I'm running out of password options. My fear is that it doesn't count as me updating the  password since I didn't do it through my account page and only via the forgot password process. That would suck if the password doesn't take.

While I was visiting papa chang, it was mostly split between eating and staring at phones. The entire time I was there papa chang was glued to his phone. He had me fixing all sorts of stuff and setting up a bunch of stuff. As soon as I finished all of it he logged into ebay and just sat there for the next 4 hours looking at golf clubs. Then he asked me to help fix his account on some other site (which he didn't actually have an account with), to buy a new razer. I then asked why he was going to some random site to get it and why not just prime it. Stupid me! My dad doesn't even have a computer (he did but didn't like or ever use it... even though he was a programmer way back in the day?). I thought about adding him to my account but prime now requires all connected family to share credit card info with each other. I do not ever want my father to have access to my credit cards. So I setup his regular amazon account (sorry dad!) and had him order it with regular shipping (I'm a terrible son). It blew my mind (it shouldn't have) that he didn't have amazon...

So my family and I don't talk to often. Not due to any type of trauma (alright maybe a little) but mostly because we never really have. It is just how we are. When I do talk to my brother (maybe twice a year if I'm lucky) it feels natural and we just chat like nothing. With my dad, it is a little awkward. I talk to him or see him about 3-4 times a year. The last year, it was has been even less. This year he didn't even call for my birthday. That is rare. Turns out he was travelling. When he returned he didn't even return my call. I had to reach out like 3 times. Finally he let me know that he was back and that he had hurt his thumb and so couldn't use the phone. hmmm.... okay? well, that persisted. Recently I went to see him for his bday and stuff. He still claimed he hasn't been able to reach out due to the thumb. BUT, he wanted us to go to the driving range to kill some time. He had just finished explaining all the issues he was having with his thumb and hand... and then was like "but it felt better the other day while I was hitting some balls. Lets go to the driving range... wtf?

The last month I've had issues. I've lost my voice, then I got sick for a while. I finally felt good for a few days, kept it light and recovered. After a few days decided to go for a light run and have some bevs. After that, I went traveling to see friends and stuff. Felt awesome. Get home few days later and sleep in my bed in peace. Wake up, and throat is scratchy and nose is stuffy. WHO DID THIS TO ME?!?!?!   Until last year, I got a cold once a year at most. Usually those colds consisted of 3 days of stuffy nose and then be done. Now, not so much. Age is a sickness! 

I am exhausted!!!!!!! Like I mentioned before I was pulling some long nights in prep for Awesomecon. In fact, I didn't get as far as I wanted before, or even during the con weekend. I stayed up friday to continue working the cosplay. I then got up early and continued to work on it. I missed out on hearing David Tennant's panel to work on it. I ended up using my test fitting pieces and attaching them as the accessories. It was sufficient for the weekend. I will be replacing them with the true pieces once I get the proper materials again. After the con, I headed home to rest. I ordered a ton of pizza and other comfort foods and wanted to just veg out. My phone then started to blow up with people asking if I wanted to do stuff. I lost my voice on friday so I really wanted to rest so I turned down everyone in order to do so. Then I ended up staying up anyways! STUPID STUPID STUPID!
