My Lorwyn deck got beat pretty good in the second match. But I was so happy for that first one. Magic is so fun!

Played my match of MTG Commander yesterday against 3 players. And I actually won! All thanks to Tidus.
Step aside Yuna, he’s my guardian now

Haha oh no! Worth it lol

Read “Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees” for this month’s comic book club led by @dungeonjanitor.bsky.social who did an incredible job!
I enjoyed it a lot. Gotta love a serial killer bear right?

Recently got my new County agency assignments for my procurement job. Very glad it’s mostly all healthcare related (hospitals, public health, etc) and not law enforcement.
Being support for nurses and other healthcare workers to do their jobs makes me not hate going to work

Happy to report that #NoOtherChoice is weird, funny, and uncomfortably violent at times. Always a good time when capitalism is the real bad guy.

Also nobody abuses any of the dogs. Yeah, fuck you Marty Supreme!

First new movie of the year is “No Other Choice.” Haven’t heard anything about it, but it’s Park Chan-wook so I’m excited.

Goddamnit

Without fail, I guess it’s fitting every ICE officer looks like a combination of Titans officers.

Like you can make an alignment chart and each hire would fall between a cross section with one of these guys.

Every time I immediately step outside

Of course. For the kids!

Looking at the castle like-

Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

As our "Immigrants Welcome" sticker says,

"the border doesn’t keep out predators; it gives them badges and guns."

Thankfully I did have an all around good weekend. Played D&D and played the Pokemon TCG for the first time in years! Got to try my Metal deck for the first time.

Depression was hitting pretty hard today so I watched The Two Towers at the theater today. Figured the battle of Helm’s Deep would make me feel better. But it was Samwise that did it of course.
“There's some good in this world, Mr Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”

I often think of this line from Haruki Murakmi’s book award speech in 2009.

"Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."

There’s no perfect “oppressed,” but the powerful are always a problem.

The Shredder kept kids off the streets with ninja training. He has my vote

THEY 👏 HATE 👏 CHILDREN

ICE Goon Defends Detaining Child Because They Gave Him Fast Food The detainment of a Minnesota preschooler has sparked further outrage in a community already on edge.

DHS made no effort to apologize, instead blaming the preschooler’s parents for refusing to open the door to ICE agents.

My office supplies got more interesting

I really want to make a D&D campaign where the party is all Magical Girls. The Walock’s patron is just the power of friendship.
I mean, the Circle of Stars Druid’s astral form is a Sailor Moon transformation!

Thank you! It’s not as bad as a lot of others who’ve gotten sick thankfully. Just sucks to being stuck on the couch and so tired. I hope I can get some extra rest though

I’m not big into my own birthday, but I was hoping to be able to go do something fun tomorrow. But I got sick instead. Doubt I’ll be up and about. Exhausted, cough, and I started getting pretty light headed. So that’s fun?

Picked up some #Lorwyn Magic cards today. Excited to see what I get (after D&D tonight). Obviously needed more Final Fantasy ones too.

Heck yeah!

From the administration that’s super pro teen… sigh

think about some of her health problems building up lately. I don’t think I can handle it.
Ugh. Time to eat a quesadilla and finish reading League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Shortly after moving back to Ventura my mom’s husband died in his sleep (why we had to call 911 before). Together 18 years but only actually married for 3 months. It was…difficult. Thankfully we’ve all rallied together to support her, but watching my mom suffer hurts so bad.
Been trying to not…

First movie of the year. Seven Samurai playing Ojai. It’s been a while since I saw it. I think a good start!
