mmmMMMMMmmmhh, you salacious tree, you... ... Yeah, I dunnow either, but I wanted to spank it approvingly...
Current tally: * 4 eggs removed due to no growth *4 eggs still in the incubator (but probably goners) ... AND FUCKIN FOURTEEN HEALTHY BEEPING BABBIES SEND HELP JFC
One of the pullets (Shepherd) made a nest in the weeds then abandoned it when we moved it. Put the 18(!!) eggs in the incubator; they were tiny & I'm like "Bantams!" Turns out it don't work that way; size means nothing. Candle them: uh oh, all live. 7a this morning, they start hatching. Fuck.
Made a new intro for my video projects. Doing the paper unfolding is the first time I've done stop motion. Super neat to see after it's put together. Also, I figured by the time i re-interpreted my logo with my left hand that it would get better. It did not. :P
I made a dum meme to "celebrate" coming back to work after a week of chill PTO.
I made little plastic nubbins to mount rubber hands to my grabby arm, and made it 10x less useful but 1000x more hilarious.
Working on the 2D port of my Furality set, and I cut out my favorite scene as a teaser. I call this one "JORB DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE". Huh? No this is TOTALLY the version that played at Furality ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.... What do you mean @joh.wtf wasn't in it?!?!? Are you sure??!?! O.).o
So this happened... Finally found an avatar that out-of-the-box fit "Reveille", my pre-VRC self, circa 2006-2020. Took a whole 5 minutes of wearing the public version before she was getting personalized/dissected in Blender, hahah. @.).@ AV is the "Nyxian" by @legacytwotails.bsky.social
Seems my Furality set's replaying tonight, 12a PST/3am EST/8am BST. Not ideal, but it's the last chance to experience 200ish hours of video work made for this stage, as I thrash 8 screens w/134768 keyframes (not counting brilliant lights+lasers) in 3 dimensions. You won't see it like this again.
My husband collects books. Sometimes they're... ahem. Well. Sometimes a lady needs her oscillators calibrated.
I'm actually playing a set today, for Sunday Service. 2p PST/5p EST/10p BST.
I do so love getting bread, so the thought of some gooey strawberry smooshed between seed-loaded breading is a delightful thought. Bread is pretty great.
I'm spinning tonight at Transient in VRChat. 6:30p PDT 9:30p EDT 1:30a GMT
Come to Stage Flight tomorrow for some brain-meltingly trippy visuals, and my 4th narrative set/experience. I'm using Stage Flight's superwide 32:9 screen to do some crazy shit. DON'T MISS IT.
Goodbye Dora, you headstrong little explorer, lone wolf amongst the flock, the last of our Rhode Island Reds. You were smart, inquisitive, reckless, and you were full of personality. These past two weeks you slowed down; it was your time, as is the way of things. You will be dearly missed.
Sometimes shrines of random intention grow like weird little mushrooms at the base of a repurposed cat litter bucket full of hydroponic pothos and bamboo.
Strawberry Jam returns in March, after I get back from Nordic Fuzzcon. Might return to a 2-hour format, might stay w/3; currently undecided. Dare I ask, but what do Y'ALL think (if you think at all)?? :P Keep in mind, I'll default to "what feels good to me", but I'd still like other opinions. :P
Did you know hydration is directly linked to your serotonin levels? Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, facilitating nerve cells' communication of mood, learning, memory, sleep, & more. So when someone in VRChat says "HYDRATE!" it's more than dodging a hangover; water is the REAL Happy Juice!!
At ass o'clock this morning, in the bitter cold, a nice lady from our ISP came by and swapped out some parts for our ONT. One thing I never thought I'd get in rural PNW was gigabit fiber, much less a free upgrade to 2.5gbps. @.).@
I'M PLAYING TOMORROW FOR TEMPLE OF LIGHT, 12pm PST/3p EST/8p GMT in VRChat! This is the best set I've ever done, a return to my psychedelic roots, featuring Desert Dwellers, CloZee, Shpongle, Govinda, Entheogenic & others, wrapped in psychedelic visuals sure sure to MELT BRAINS. DON'T MISS IT!!
I am playing at KALEIDOSKY, in VR, TONIGHT, at Midnight PST/3a EST. My husband Verminiferous will be dogging the controls of Synesthesia, providing live visuals while I play live. So, not "A"live, but "2"live! ... No... No, that doesn't work. WHATEVER.
