I dropped my phone
I mean, I really dropped it. It slipped out of my sweaty hands when I was checking a message while walking. I kicked out with my foot and the phone hit the soft part of the padding, but bounced off, so I technically punted my phone into the asphalt. It immediately died, and after trying various online recovery techniques, I could not get it out of a bootloop. The multicolored “Google” logo appears and disappears endlessly, as the device seems to scream THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR DROPPING ME. But that’s when it’s plugged in. When it’s not plugged in, there are no signs of life at all. So maybe…

Pickle is gone.
My cat died today. Sad. She had FIV from getting into fights with neighborhood cats and her health was in decline. There were a lot of trips to the vet over the past year. She became lethargic and incontinent for the last few months and we put her in a cage outside with a litterbox (which she had never seen before but instantly took to) at night.

A Good Day Day?
Can’t believe I missed this update 11 years ago: The Return To Finding Out Ice Cube’s Good Day The original post blew up the internet a couple years before that. I found my link to it searching for an old post. A big problem with blogging for so long is that most links and video embeds end up broken… Which was a selling point for social media back in the day (your memories are safe with us!), but of course, even Facebook has started deleting live videos this year after realizing storing that shit costs money.
