Being a costumed character for events like story hours and mall openings. Yes I did get paid to do this but honestly I probably would have done it for free.

Me dressed as the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. I am "sitting" on a mushroom (one of my legs is in the tail of the costume draping over the front of the Mushroom) The costume is basically a green sleeping bag...This was taken at an event at a Barnes and Noble.

UH..... wait wha? 👀 IMMENS? As in the German word for Immense?

"We are building Immens so that when you are using the engine, you are in control of what it is doing," he says. "You know what it's doing. You know the history of how it's doing it, so that you know it is repeatable. You can also create bespoke tools. The nature of the creative process is that you have a problem to solve: for example, creating five characters with this specific trait. Previously, you would have to plan this and perhaps work for weeks to get it done. Now, you can probably dream it up while drinking coffee and eating breakfast. That tool could be used like five times and then thrown away. This used to be super expensive. You really can make workflows that work exactly for what you want to do. That's really powerful."

So how have things been in Madison since I've been away.....OH....

A post from Squashington Farm "Hey Madison - while we are processing the tragedy of the fatal shooting of Mr. Ruiz. we wanted to let you know we are planning to be at market tomorrow until 10am when the capital police will be shutting down the market. If you want some veg, com early. Stay later for the protest!"

Spent my day doing laundry and reading about the likelihood of a Mt. Fuji eruption... This quake woke me up last night.

It's weird going from never having felt an earthquake ever to feeling them several times a month 🫨

Bisexual lighting is real and it's the best for taking selfies....trick is you already have to be bisexual to use bisexual lighting properly.

A selfie of me wearing a red sequined fedora, a red and black sleeveless dress. The lighting is vaguely pink and purple with a inflatable pink fish behind me. What really makes this photo bisexual is that I am bisexual and also I have a tattoo of a naked women on my bicep which is a not so subtle sign that I might like women.

Wine caps are also pretty easy. I tried to grow them in a bed of wood chips and they ended up all over the hill under my elderberry bushes.

I've tried several ways to grow mushrooms in my backyard. The most successful has been oyster mushrooms spawn in a bucket of soaked hay! I got several flushes like this last summer with just one bucket.
