Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

Here you go, because I confuse people somehow.  I am a tech geek. I have a computer science degree focused on animation and games, and I love coding, hacking, homelabs, gaming, and game development. I keep up with tech and coding news and love my gadgets. I eschew business and those who are only in tech for the money or because they didn't know what else to do.  I am a digital artist and animator. I love Art Fight and creating fantasy illustrations. I dream of having my own booth at a con's artist alley one day.  I am a fantasy and science fiction writer. I read daily and aim to become published in order to write full time.  I am a fan. I love books, movies, games, anime. When I get into a world or franchise, I go all-in. I enjoy conventions for this reason and attend at least 3 per year (SDCC, FanX, and LTUE).  I am a musician. I play clarinet and piano and dream of playing classically as part of a wind symphony. I listen to lots of music too.  I am a roll...

getting to WDW a day before visiting any parks and just having a leisurely midmorning run along the resorts after a good night's rest would fix me  like just feeling the quiet ambience of the resorts and just being there  but without the pressure yet so would having a normal summer saturday  Honestly kind of stressed about this weekend. I have to catch a flight tonight at 5:55 PM and I will be arriving in Atlanta shortly before midnight, a city I've never been to. I will then drive to Austell for my hotel, and the next morning I will immediately attempt to ride ArieForce One, the other 2 credits at Fun Spot Atlanta before they shut down the whole thing in 3 days, and then all of SFOG.  On a day when thunderstorms are predicted.  There's a bit too much going on this summer and I just want some of those summer haze days, risky as they are.  I have another trip the very next weekend and I haven't taken a day off from caffeine in quite a few weeks. 

because no one wrote an article about this.  A few observations: you can do it, but it's probably better to take it as a deload week due to all the walking, standing, and jostling on top of the runs. my calves are so shot that I didn't run at all today. BUT, again, you CAN do it.  while there are less crowds running towards the airport from the Star of India, you can only get about 4.4 miles without running into Liberty Station and having to run through random shopping districts  and you can't really run the famous Embarcadero route because it's full of Hall H queuers -- the paths are not all open. you can run one of the parks, but not the one near the con If you run towards Seaport from the Star of India you will run out of path, even with taking the peninsulas, after about 2.9 miles.  so much looping. so much freaking looping around to hit mileage targets. holy hell.  Please note, all of this assumes starting at the Hotel Little Italy / Courtyard Marriott Litt...

The Two Ghosts I either lift at Parc or at Orem Rec depending on the day. But when I go to lift at Parc pre-dawn, there has always been this couple that is running on the treadmills in pitch darkness.  It's super creepy. Are these NPCs? Ghosts? No matter. Lights ON, WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY. If you wanted to run in total darkness, there's this thing called "outside", and it has cool coyotes and shit.  Slides and Hoodie Guy It's July, and currently hotter than Satan's sweaty armpit. But this guy is lifting in a hoodie and sweats, and is wearing slides and socks. If he's the only one in there, the fan will be off. ???? The gym is lucky I wear more than just my Janji half tights this time of year. And why lift in slides? Do you want to die? I Have Chosen The Dumbbells For My Cell Phone's Perch This lady always puts her cell phone ON TOP OF A PAIR OF DUMBBELLS, WHILE THEY ARE ON THE RACK, and then goes to lift with a different set of dumbbells. She does ...

All around me I see nothing but people settling.  I will never do this. Either I find her or I die alone wishing for her and searching for her in the next life.  There are no compromises and no exceptions ever. I will never do what everyone else is doing. I'd rather lie in the dirt and let the earth reclaim me. 

You will die alone in a basement apartment with 27 cats. Others will always recognize your many flaws. There are no silver linings on those dark clouds above you. Your final memory will be choking to death on a chocolate chip pancake smothered in syrup and whipped cream while at an IHOP in the middle of Indiana. The spider you couldn’t get last night in your bathroom is currently laying eggs. When you lie awake tonight, always remember that no one is ever going to love you. Your mom. Your friends have an extra group chat without you in it. You will sneeze during a job interview and a visible amount of saliva will land on the interviewer's desk. Your friend will get an empty slot on their Super Duolingo plan and will give it to another friend instead of you. You can’t just wait on the pizzle and on the dizzle. You must also wait upon the shizzle. Do not commit tax fraud. That is a felony. Just because it’s moral doesn’t mean it’s legal. It is not advisable to commit se...
