iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

oh... the joyous feeling of a shirt you haven't worn in a few months being suspiciously tight around the back and shoulders and biceps suddenly... 🥹

they're letting us be trollops in infinity nikki.

captain's log. five days since i was taken to cleveland. still convinced max martin exported the wrong file version.

listen it's like being an art school freshman again but very critically i am thirty and don't really care if my work is ever going to be that masterful or not.

y'know it's been two years since riot games officially blew up the better part of a decade of worldbuilding for their prestige television show and they still have not like. clarified? any of it? as far as i can tell? seraphine has been in a quantum state of nonexistence for two years.

my nikki is never going to beat allegations about what she did with all of those orphans is she.

man why are you shaped like this.

y'know many things about the industry and bad but i do love that dressmaker is a blockbuster purely by aspect of making a perfect product for their underserved audience... i am genuinely really excited to see how the team reinvests this crazy windfall.

great news the meatball recipe i always use produced unusable slime with ground chicken so i am spreading it on a sheet in the oven to hopefully produce some sort of spaghetti and meatsquares.

the late night gym sessions will probably only continue to lower my inhibitions all pros & cons therein.

struck with the terrible realization that sia is in lyrical content and structure. a vocaloid songwriter. i she loves a noun.

not a single person has complimented how handsome orson looks in the background of my zoom this is so upsetting.

unfortunately i'm not going to be able to stop saying i am at the amc matinee puss in bootin' for while. it's really wedged in there.

very funny to be going back to this kind of work in the context of fashion & costume illustration instead of animation & comics... it is making me feel significantly more competent.

i think i have officially begun to enjoy cleveland! by taylor swift. it's sort of a negative underflow situation. seeing it described as "you seem so angry for a girl so in love" describes the feeling so well. a manic denial crash out is unfortunately kind of a unique emotion to capture.

y'know i realized i haven't really been sharing any of my cooking lately since it's sort of devolved into utilitarian protein boy slop but sometimes it starts looking like food you eat for fun again. 😮‍💨

i understand i am not the target audience but i have questions regardless.

anyway i'm procrastinating leg day i need to go do that goodbye.

that said there has been one official disaster and it was UNI but i'm pretty sure she's dead now. there was a lawsuit regarding the voice provider not consenting to how realistic the final product would be. i lost track of where it ended but the voice is no longer available for purchase!

mostly it's just funny that kasane teto ascended to become the people's princess even outside the fandom in this moment when everyone is vocally against all generative AI when the version of teto that people use is very visibly labeled as AI? i'm surprised it's never had more blowback!

i will say as time goes on it's still fascinating to exist in this pocket of like. all of us who joined the vocal synth fandom (née vocaloid fandom) almost twenty years ago now seeing a renaissance in the space driven by AI investment capital even as we try to distance ourselves from it.

really the only people i blame are the older generations of my family who have gotten very vocal about wanting more grandchildren but have not put any effort into matchmaking for me and the like 2-3 of my cousins that actually want kids.

i don't know if it's frustrating or just funny that the only advice people have to find a husband if you can't stomach dating apps is to take a bunch of classes. and i've been doing that. but i've been the only gay man in every class i've taken for five years straight. 🫠

someone teach me how to play crusader kings so i can simulate the matriarchal pop diva history of europe where madonna is the pope until she is usurped in a bloody coup by lady gaga.

the more i sit with other swifties in processing the encore the more i really do think this is like being a medieval peasant watching your favorite king go mad. like, yes. we see the issue. but that is our king, taylor alison swift. this is embarassing for all of us but it's our issue to deal with.

in our wikipedia trawl i also learned that mr. lowery has had one of the funnier hat tricks ever.

we watched mother mary and it was really good unfortunately there's a certain naive cuteness to watching a movie about a pop diva and a fashion designer directed and written by a straight man who is not particularly interested in either discipline accompanied by charli xcx's most whelming b-sides.

the thing about fuser is that it's a really good toy.

guess who got distracted and didn't hear the flip food beep.

i am still reflecting on my life of a showgirl encore and how it has disillusioned me with the entire project of taylor swift a second time over. i think listening to it again after looping day & night was a mistake because it made it obvious how cheap and thin the production of showgirl is?

anyway if you told me as a child my character sheet would have high STR, CHA and WIS but modest to low INT i would not have believed you.

my phone told me i hit a kind of funny milestone so i just want to use it to reflect on this abnormal thing i decided to start doing with my body a few years ago. it's hard to talk about bodybuilding in short form because any body talk is complex but i'm glad i started. even if i am bad at it.

i got to Cleveland! again and i think it's camp now. it's like if ME! had a punchline and wasn't just deeply embarassing.

000

the funniest part of the life of a showgirl is the spoken segment where taylor faux thanks the band and sabrina and sabrina says "i love you, taylor!" and taylor just goes "and that's our show, goodnight!" like it's not meant to be mean but if you're picturing the scene in your head it's insane.

the storm isn't even bad here but the barometric pressure is squeezing my head like a grape and all i want to do is go to the gym but orson won't drive me.

y'know i have never actually processed until now as an adult with global food knowledge that rice-a-roni was explicitly the american rebrand of armenian rice pilaf and dozens of other similar dishes that moved around the arab world where wheat noodles and rice were overlapping staple crops.

h. p. heisler @hpheisler.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

the storm made me crave risotto to cure my illness and use up all our produce box veggies but when you only have normal spaghetti and a bizarre childhood craving for the product of "rice-a-roni" you rise to meet the occasion.

every time i go to the grocery store i must grapple with the fact that now is maybe the worst time ever to start bulking again but quite frankly if i'm going to watch the world burn i might as well be watching it over the humble hillocks of my tits.

new taylor swift reaction best summarized by the following:

if i see one more pony political alignment chart saying that rarity is a rightwing authoritarian when her primary traits are being a garment worker and being generous i am going to start killing. everypony watch out.

i have to keep telling myself thirty is a really reasonable age to be going back to school and doing a major career pivot and it just feels this terrifying due to the. uh. y'know. the other things. going on. in the world. and economy.

y'know i really have to wonder what text messages were going between people who work on warframe and overwatch realizing they are scheduled to release the same character at the same time this december.

it's so funny how much league of legends cannot make me successfully care anymore. this all feels too cynical for me to even begin being horny about this character i am normally carnally obsessed with.

trying my best to be objective about these matters.

okay maybe going to the gym when it's totally empty is kind of fun.
