My 5x5 for the last week #DeathMetal #BlackMetal. There are a few oldies in here and I have been really getting into that new Leper Colony album. I am just a huge fan of anything Rogga does.

acaDamien @acadamien.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I got a ton of new ones. Burnt Lodge, Amon Amarth Logo Backpatch, Fires in the Distance, Blackbraid and a few more. I have to relocate an Iron Maiden one so I can put the Amon Amarth Logo one at the top of the vest. I might work on more today. Another cozy weather day in Middle Tennessee.

Middle Tennessee weather is what you could call Cozy. Listening to the new Leper Colony #DeathMetal and sewing patches on my vest while I have the windows open to get air in here. Also replaced the clasps of my pins with the locking kind.

I was all nervous about starting that new project today. Manager of the project is out of office today and I don't have access to the systems yet. I guess one more day of not much going on will be fine at this point.

Seeing this going around really made me think about the 9 albums that really influenced me. From rock, metal, new wave, and even a Celtic influenced new age album.

We made it to day 1 of my favorite month/time of the year. October is here and this means the leaves change, the horror movies kick in for me, the music turns to autumn playlists, and I am just stupidly giddy with excitement.

Lots going on over here. My time on the bench at work is over as of Oct 1st as I got on to a project. Where my anxiety was concern over not finding a project, now I am having a full blown panic attack over having a project now. Will I be good enough for the role? #MajorAnxiety

I have talked about being on the bench at work, which means I am between projects. It has been 9 weeks of no interviews and this morning I get a ping to send my one-page resume over. Looks like someone is interested in me for a project. This is putting me in a pretty good mood.

acaDamien @acadamien.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Been seeing people post their favorite horror movies. I decided to do it too. These are my 30 favorite horror movies of all time. They are NOT in order.

Yep, so the decision is that my Threads account was permanently disabled. What I did, or how it came to this, I no longer care. It is too bad I will lose contact with my friends over there, but what can you do when AI is the driving force for all of your decisions and it makes an incorrect one?
