Day 2,487: Hot Dawgs

Magical day today in the paradise that is glamping.

Didn’t sleep in! Had a little bit of a rough night’s sleep because of getting to hot under the comforter, but we should be in tip top shape tonight. So, got up pretty on time and early, actually

Day 2,486: Into the Woods

We’re on vacation.

It’s only for a couple days, but we did it. We’re out of town, up into the mountains, away from it all.

It’s so freeaaakkiiinngggg pretty here. There’s enough elevation that it’s much cooler than down at home. It’s beautiful summer weather with nary a wind to speak of. The cabin we’re in is legit dope, as you can see from today’s photo (took and edited by the amazing Liz Ho).

I’m digging it.

Ready to hike and check out swim spots and just hang with the pups and Bea...

Day 2,485: I Made It

I made it.

Gawdam I am tired. But, I made it to our little vacation.

We’re heading out of town for the next four days, off to the woods for some cabin-style glamping amazing-ness. At least, we hope it’s amazing. It’s our first time our to this particular location during the summer, our first time staying in these type of cabins…it looks amazing. And, regardless, it’s a much, muuuuuuch needed break for both of us.

Hopefully we get in some swimming, some hiking if it’s not too hot—this pl...

Day 2,484: Snuggles

What I love most is being with you.

Or food.

Okay, it might food, if I’m being really, really, really honest. But, see, you bring me food…so my favorite thing is also being with you.

I like to be touching you as much as possible. You’ve got my back. I bury my head into the blankets or the pillows, and I sleep hard because you’re with me. I know you protec.

I’m the kind of pup who will just stay wherever you put me. I can make any spot snuggle-able, but you always put me in spots that...

Day 2,483: Vroom

The little AC we have in our bedroom goes “vroom” when I turn it on.

I guess it’s not that “small,” this new AC that we have. It’s pretty large, actually. It takes up the whole far corner of the bedroom. It’s white. The kind that wheel around on the floor and connect to the window with hoses.

We like to be cool at night, Liz and I. We grew up where it was cold in the evening times. But, we don’t like to run our central air if we’re not using the rest of the house, which we aren’t during th...

“The Slaver Weapon” (Star Trek: The Animated Series S1 Ep14)

Larry Niven meets Trek! The Enterprise crew must deal with the fearsome Kzinti and the powerful Slavers, Josh and Ira decide what our favorite Trek characters want for Christmas, and they share the own greatest holiday gifts they’ve ever received.

Day 2,482: You and Me

Oh, you thought you was in charge?

Nope.

Master of the house, right here. Tongues out, gunz out. I run dis town. Better put some respect on that name, dame. P-U-P-P-why? Because I gotta. Get dem treats.

You might call me an attack doggo, because I will attack that squeak without mercy. And then I will drop it on the ground and smack my lips and move my tongue around to get the fluff out of my mouth, and then I will attack that squeak again until it squeaks no longer.

You might call m...

Day 2,481: Cold Tea

She’d run a small empire from this room.

You’d never know by looking at it. Wasn’t even a legal unit, stuffed up in the top of the building with the HVAC systems and the roof access. No kitchen. Bathroom was around the corner, shared with the building’s maintenance workers. A mattress thrown on the floor, hot plate in an alcove, sofa dragged in off the street. Bit of a view. It didn’t have much.

What it did have was power, and a hard link to the sat-grid on the roof.

The most striking f...

Day 2,480: Whaddaweek

Bush.

Whacked.

Gawdam. I am absolutely dead to the world tired. I got in a DJ set with Liz, the first time I’ve played in two weeks, almost exactly. It was lit. We broadcast both on Twitch and Facebook, which was so fun. So. Fun. I had two weeks worth of new music to explore and play only the best-of.

Work was dope today. I crushed it. Got so much done. Still some to do, but I caught up. Whew.

Oh, and I wore my new red Niners hat and the A’s won AGAIN. They’ve won every game where I’...

Day 2,479: More Myself

I was more myself today than yesterday. Still…still very much bouncing up and off that wall I hit a couple days ago. But, I was less tired today. Yesterday I was so fracking tired. Not so much today.

I was still brain fried, though. I need a day or two off. Not that I’ll get that, exactly. Not unless I have a super, SUPER productive day tomorrow, which is possible, but man…it really depends on how much brain energy I have.

I didn’t have much of that today. I started off well, with a good w...
