Ah, the nerdy cashier at the supermarket, who used to wear glasses, have freckles and look like a bookworm, was all tanned, with fit body (probably from the sea), wearing contact lenses, makeup, paint hair and looked like a gorgeous first rate bitch, of the grand screen caliber... She even smiled and SWEETTALKED to me, while talking coldly and distantly to everyone else. I might ask her next time if she is single and try to get her number. Maybe i can freeload on her and take me along to the sea, or something; up to now i haven't even swam once and 2/3 of the summer is over...

That Summer Games Done Quick starts this Sunday!

Hearing that Meagan Taylor (the black trans woman who was incarcerated as a result of unfair profiling) was freed. (One thing: the whole idea of bail makes absolutely no sense to me.)

Of course, she shouldn't have been arrested in the first place.

Also, the fact that Caitlyn Jenner is seriously making an effort to learn about trans people less forturnate than her, and that she is trying to be a good role model.

Brrr, how sad, nightmarish and unfortunate. I once felt the terrible fangs of profiling coupled with doxxing and they are the sh*ttiest thing ever, period. No one deserves that. Especially if there are added elements that have been faked/forged.

Pizza and masturbation (not at the same time though).

Getting a refund from paypal :)

Cold, cold ice cream, i am just eating right now! Half hour past midnight, here and ice cold feast! Yay!

Realized or told by the missus rather that I am 14 days without nicotine or alcohol.

I've only wanted to kill half of the people I walked by during my withdrawal.

Also the old man said he is proud of me so that's cool.

Realizing that transgender girls have a variety of celebrity role models. There's Jazz Jennings, a teenager who transitioned young. There's Caitlyn Jenner, an older transitioner who was a gold-medal winning athlete. And then there's actress Laverne Cox, a black trans woman who didn't have the most comfortable life growing up. (Also, there are others who aren't as well known, like game programmer Rebecca "Burger" Hienemann.)

Now, we just need some good role models for transgender boys.

Removing KotOR's files and discovering Star Trek: Judgment Rites. Also, it's good to be alive.

Had a great time with my Boss GT-Pro guitar processor experimenting with some of the obscure advanced features the unit has which probably 99% of the musicians that buy it never use if they even know it exists. I created some rather strange alien spaceship and raygun type sound effects by combining multuple modulation effects with delays and filters while modulating some of the parameters of each with onboard oscillators. It's a lot of fun experimenting with effects like this whether just creating new ones for the hell of it, or trying to reproduce sound effects heard in various music, soundtracks or even just as special effects. For example I recreated this eerie sound effect from Stephen King's movie "Christine" and it sounds exact, using a ring modulator and some pitch shifting effects and other secret sauce. Also recreated the effect from The Matrix where Neo takes the pill and starts tripping out and the camera goes down his throat with a ring-modulatoresque sound. Really cool to be able to generate these sound effects from guitar!

Fantastic afternoon and evening with my sister's family. The afternoon was spent with my brother in law doing electronic experiments, dinner was amazing pork brochettes with rice and salad, and after dinner was spent talking with my sister, brother in law, nephew, and niece. The only ones missing were my god son and his girlfriend but they were celebrating the birthday of one of their friend.

My niece's dog was also there since he live there with her. The poor thing broke one of his hind leg when only a few months old and it was not fixed properly by the first veterinarian they saw. It still is not healing properly after a second surgery. One of the problem is that as a puppy he wants to run all the time. So now he is being medicated for a few months to be very mellow so he does not run and jump all the time.

My nephew plays Warhammer with one of his friend but did not want to spend all the money for the figurines so he made them out of cardboard. They look amazing and they aren't even painted. When I first heard that he made his own figurines I imagined a base with a 2d cutout stuck to it, I could not have been more wrong. His figurine are full 3d.

I learned that my godson is going to leave the nest in two months, him and his girlfriend have found an apartment and will be moving to it. He has a nice job at a web design firm and is in computer science at university. He' s also a good guitar player. I'm very proud of him.

I finally used my newly issued ATM card. I seriously hope no crook traps the ATM machine and steals my data, or something. These things are dangerous, that is why i always prefer face to face bank interaction, but banks are closed during weekends and REFUSE to serve people face to face, other than pensioners, which i am not. At least i got some money in hand, from the sum i have kept hostage from all those local and non-local matherfaqers!

Pizza for breakfast - love that!

Two days ago, I had a nice talk with a young women who is into the same types of games that I am.

Yesterday, I ran into an old friend from high school.
