  • No, you just made it all the way to work, and walked into the office just to realize that you’ve left your working laptop at home. Also, **you **, for a split second, forgot your kids were with you in the car and almost got onto the freeway rather than taking them to grandma’s house.

    Good-fucking-morning! 🫠

  • The struggles

    Although Marley is still an eager little beaver about her braces, she’s also facing the inconvenience of them. She complains that her teeth hurt, which is most expected, they will be sore for a few dates for sure. The most difficult time is night time, gotta give her some ibuprofen beforehand and wait until, well, the pain is tolerable enough for her to settle down and fall asleep.

    Last night was a little bit of a struggle and tonight, well, so far it’s shaping up to be the same. So I am here typing while she plays on her Switch waiting for the ibuprofen to do its thing. Well, I know better, she’s also stalling but it’s relatively early so I’m okay with it.

    However, I could use the sleep. Last night was a struggle, also for me, in a way. It wasn’t until 2:00 am ish that I finally settled, just to have nightmares all morning long. Today, was a real struggle at work. Not only because I was sleep deprived but it was a really busy day, way too many fires to put out. Also, I ran out of one of my meds and didn’t have time to pick them up yesterday so today I was both sleep deprived and chemically unbalanced. I still managed to make it happen, still some fires left but that’s tomorrow’s Gaby’s problem. I did manage to go to the gym after work though, I was happy about that, it did me good, mentally.

    Anyways, let us hope for a good night’s sleep and a better, more swimmingly day tomorrow.

  • A thing I liked.

    Darknet Diaries EP 135: THE D.R. INCIDENT

    Image of a charging bull

    Omar Avilez worked in the CSIRT of the Dominican Republic when a major cybersecurity incident erupted. Omar walks us through what happened and the incident response procedures that he went through

    Of course, like almost every episode of this show, this was a good one, at least to me. And I agree, it is still scary that in this day and age, we are still so vulnerable to cyberattacks and especially at this scale.

    It also reminded me that not long ago, in 2022, Puerto Rico also got hacked by this type of attack. And in case you’ve forgotten your geography, PR and DR are neighboring islands. I don’t remember if any other agencies or systems were hacked at all. I just remember that the system known as AutoExpreso, which controls the electronic toll collection, was hacked.

    PuertoRicans being PuertoRicans, they were not mad about it, I mean, the government sure was, but not the public. The only thing the public was mad about was why the hackers did not delete all the fines and debts. 🤣

  • No corn.

    Counting corn, ain’t happening today. I forgot they were watering the field today so it is all muddy and almost un-walkable. This means I’ll have to finish up on Monday, and next week, it’s going to be scorching hot. However, if I survived Florida, I can pretty much survive anywhere.

    It is all peachy!

  • Yesterday’s workout was pretty intense. I took an old one from my Notes.app, from 2016 to be exact. I was wondering if I could complete it. I did. I almost died, but my Power Beats Pro died first! At the last round of course. I remember taking them off and just throwing them on to the floor.

    🔗 Why My Adventures With Superman Is More Like Dragon Ball Z Than You Realized

    Why My Adventures With Superman Is More Like Dragon Ball Z Than You Realized Image

    Similar to Dragon Ball, My Adventures With Superman features a constant sense of escalation where Superman grows stronger with time and experience and gains new abilities, only to find those abilities tested by ever-stronger opponents. Though as Wyatt explained, as much as the show draws from Dragon Ball, that sense of escalation has always been a part of the Superman comics. The crime-fighting Superman of the early Golden Age stories is hardly the all-powerful defender of the DC Universe he's become.  

    My entire life, I have been a Superman fan, and ever since a teenager, a Dragon Ball Z fan. I am very eager to watch this and see what they do with this iteration of Superman.

  • Force-closing like it is 2010

     this post was going to be a Toot

    I force-closed my apps for 3 days. It made me kinda hate my phone. by Matt Birchler

    I'll say up front that I don’t judge anyone who force-closes their apps.

    Me:  I DO AND ALWAYS WILL! 😜

    This seemed like a good experiment or POC, and a good write-up. I personally never force-closed my apps, In my head the devices are "smart" enough to handle this. Well, I may use to do it back in the iPhone4 days, but not anymore. I can't remember when I stopped doing it. My lady, on the other hand, still does, I see her force-closing her apps, and her brothers too, and yes, I judge them every time. Seems like a waste of time to me.

  • Hellboy goes Audiobooks


    The Hellboy Universe Expands With Three New Audiobooks

    Click through to see Mike Mignola's cover art for all three of Graphic Audio's new Hellboy-themed audiobooks.

    The three audiobooks are part of the same continuity as the comics, with Hellboy: A Plague of Wasps acting as a direct follow-up to 2022's Hellboy in Love. Together, they form a trilogy with ramifications for the larger Hellboy universe. The trilogy includes:
    Hellboy: A Plague of Wasps
    Things turn strange and dangerous when Hellboy accompanies his girlfriend, Anastasia Bransfield, on a trip to Brazil. They venture into the rainforest to stop an evil force from spreading. This first audiobook in the series will be available on July 31, 2023 wherever audiobooks are sold.
    Lobster Johnson: The Proteus Club
    Set in 1933, reporter Cynthia Tynan finds herself drawn into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of several prominent New Yorkers and seeks the aid of Hellboy’s childhood hero the Lobster. They must confront German spies, religious lunatics, and monstrously transformed people who have been subjected to hideous experimentation. The Lobster Johnson audiobook will debut in October.
    Hellboy and the BPRD: The Goddess of Manhattan
    Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien are drawn into a bizarre case linked both to Hellboy’s adventure with Anastasia in Brazil and to Lobster Johnson. Co-authored by Young Hellboy writer Thomas E. Sniegoski, the third audiobook in the series will be released in November.


    I am so ready for this!

  • On kettlebells

    If you have fooled my blog or at least know me a bit, you should know that when it comes to working out, I prefer kettlebells. And if you didn’t, well, now you know. I love kettlebell workouts, I’ve been doing them for years now, circa 2013.

    Why? Well, it’s not so traditional, I much prefer their versatility and “playfulness”. I find gym machines boring, plus there are some benefits to it.

    • It helps with full-body strength.
    • Low impact cardio
    • Improves core strength and stability.
    • Explosive power in the hips. (queue swings and snatches)
    • And betters coordination and mobility.

    Among other things.

    It’s so easy to just grab a bell, and have a good full-body workout. I can do it at the gym or at home. I currently have two bells in my play box.

    I can just take them both, put a mat on the patio and go at it, or on the grass. Outdoor workouts are the best, in my opinion. I need more bells, I want a set of the same weight for double-handed workouts, and a very heavy one. But for now, these should work and do more than enough “damage” 😏

    Keep moving!
