Owen

2026 Year of the Horse ✴️

Fluffy gray tabby upside down, toasting himself on a sunny window seat with his head reclined and limbs outstretched. He’s missing a back leg, so he looks rather oddly assembled from this angle.

The Morning Monty was promised a damp, cold day - but the sun came out(!!?) and he is NOT complaining.

Cool that my choices in life are "affable dunce" or "randomly tormented by demons"

This has to be up there with the best use of your money per dollar on the planet.

grainy photo of a female cardinal sitting on branch among dry and broken reeds. Back is to camera with face in profile looking over right wing while sun shines on her left side.

noisy and green-tinted photo of a plain brown bird in a berrying bush, one foot on each of two branching twigs which it stands between

Local lab scans of my first birding roll in the F5 (24 shots of deeply expired Superia 400 from the fridge) just landed in my email.

Last night added "Downloaded Caves of Qud on Switch 10 minutes before my bedtime" to list of terrible life decisions

The orange creamsicle flavor do love doing that for some reason.

This duck managed to both nap and keep an eye on me while also spinning around in a circle for the entire morning. Multi-talented, obv. 😉 #birds

Clara looking regal

Rain meant a lot of dramatic lighting this morning

Just one more organizer, bro. Just one more laundry basket and I'll be clean. Just one more DOLLAR BOSS felt covered corkboard and then I'll stop

Monday Nora post to start the week.

same here tbh

Bao is on the move (and very fast)! The adorable otter pup is starting to explore more habitats at the Asian Forest Sanctuary. Here is one minute of baby Bao exploring the indoor Dayroom for the first time. With rotating spaces, there’s always something new to sniff, splash and investigate. 🌿💦

Got bareknuckled in the discord for a sec so it's time to step away and snuggle the cats. Can't be doing that at my age.

Dad and I from the family Discord call this evening, in case you're curious how we've evolved.

I slept through the phone tree at least once 🤣

1st in Xrd and 3rd in CvS2 at Genesis this year 💪😎👍

...Hey, do you hear that?

Your confidence in my ability to be awake at Executive Time on weekends is touching but misplaced <3

Costco Dads: is Valentine's going to be a bloodbath of last minute shoppers or a mostly-empty paradise where I don't have to worry about people dawdling around?

These photos are always appreciated but the extra mile of cuteness in his little chirps is on another level. Thanks for making the world a brighter place!

anyway good night (volume up)

hummingbird alit on a tree branch, with out-of-focus green leaves setting off the more nuanced green and purple-brown plumage of the bird's feathers. A necklace of speckles, but no ruby on the throat.

Child Owen and his father

As a small bit of Friday levity, more from the "where did Owen go wrong?" files featuring my father looking exceptionally cool.

yeah, he and Sylas are both incredibly fun. I think you would get a lot of what the BotW team were going for with weapon durability (force the player to play with new toys or think with the environment) with the expiration mechanic.

Blue Mage: The Reckoning

Probably the biggest takeaway I have from the past 5-6 years: spend on infrastructure, and don't wait and do a bunch of durdling when an issue crops up. Wish I could tell my past self not to be a goddamned cheapskate and fork over immediately.
