Your favorite photo(s) looking out *from* the mountain.

The classic 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat. Perfection.

A pathway lined with tall evergreen trees and bushes, with a stone building to the left.

The view from the midst of the venue is pretty good too.

A bright sun causing a lense flare above Montreal's Mount Royal, as seen from the southeast (Parc & Des Pins). The cross is slightly to the right of the sun, and the Molson stadium is to the left. Further left are some buildings on the edges of downtown. The whole view is slightly tilted, as the view is seen from partway down the hill.

Not a bad view from just outside the venue.

This. The Pixel 7a's battery is busted.

Thankfully it seems I can get a free replacement, but watching my phone go "70% - warning low battery - 18% 15% - 9% - 7% - powering off" before my eyes as I'm trying to figure out how to get home at night in a transit strike has been "fun".

Lovelies, meet Brian the Bard! You'll be crossing paths with him on and off throughout the 2025 edition of Loktober, starting tomorrow!

One's for a workshop - I don't have a resume for these as this far I've gotten such gigs through my existing contacts. The other is for ASMing which is almost entirely covered by apprentices in my city, so I also don't have a resume for it (but I've ASMed as recently as last season).

Two gig opportunities have come up this week but require resume reformats I don't have time for due to tech week.

Do I just send my default and hope, or wait for when I have time despite the gigs being quite last-minute postings?

"Wait, no, that was the Super Man game that sucked..."
She turned back, picked up the cartridge, and carefully wiped it off before tucking it into the large pocket of her hoodie.

Sanny looked behind the arcade machine to see if she couldn't discern why it had suddenly stopped working. Down in the dust she spotted an old game cartridge.
"Megaman? Only losers would enjoy that game series."
She left it in the dirt like it deserved.

Talking Silksong before the show? ★★★★★

I've had a lot of great artists on my comedy gigs this year, yet they somehow keep getting better.

The image is a three-panel comic featuring a simple drawing of a dog with a bone in its mouth. - In the first panel, the dog looks content with a bone; and above its head, there is text that reads: "I want to be good at [insert hyperfixation here]." - In the second panel, a hand appears take the bone away, and the text above the dog reads: "No practice." - In the third panel, the dog looks intense, and the text above reads: "Only good."

every time

If my mom had bought me a Black Lotus she'd haunt me if I didn't plan to sell it

(Reddit is full of writers, and this story classically is both way too dramatic and has way too clean a resolution. These often spark targeted outrage in others, so keep your skeptical hat on.)

Not their building below Sherbrooke (I'm not even sure if they still own that), but it is Club Soda which is my usual JFL venue.

Today's gigs:
From rehearsals in a room behind a pretty chapel (probably deconsecrated?) to a comedy show in a gritty club (I love it but it's not a fancy place).

Not me checking the news page of @remgrandmtl.bsky.social daily to see whether they've announced the launch date yet.

I am once again transiting around the mountain to get to work, whereas I'd be able to take the REM right through it... Soon™

With a Billion I'd attempt to enact all my crazy plans like buying up condo complexes downtown and turning them into low-income housing with social services on the ground floor.

Really I'd want enough to buy the house of my dreams full-out, I think. No mansion or anything, just... A spacious house.

THANK YOU

text post saying: apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

yeah

I assumed I was missing context. Thanks for tracking it down!

I have a serious case of the Weird - despite having known the lyrics to American Pie for decades, my brain kept trying to shove "maybe Vader someday later" into the chorus.

That'll be me in two weeks!

Combining my live event and live stream skillsets for the very first time, we've got a great team behind the tournament.

I seem to have gotten one question wrong on my final exam. Alas, I'll finish with a 99%

Learning Java: complete.

I just saw a REM train passing through my home station! It was so quiet. And too quick for me to react and snap a pic.

I'm ridiculously excited for this network to open more fully this autumn. 10 minute walk + 10 minute ride into the heart of downtown? Yes please.
