Too busy with school to take it public full throttle, but at least now I can acknowledge by harasser by name, Leonardo Enrique Di Giacomo, and how the court failed Hopefully this finds its way to a lawyer willing to take up a pro bono appeal that involves taking judges to task for violating ethics

An overdue update to the blog I've been forced to neglect by other obligations in life.

Had my first incidental encounter with my harasser after the bogus dismissal of my case against him. He was starting me down and smiling at me the whole time. So maybe I will need to squeeze in an appeal in the midst of this 16-unit semester… 😣

Evil wins. Thanks for nothing, San Diego California Supreme Court.

To me, Apple Music's best feature is Anna Lunoe's HYPERHOUSE "show" (read: sets). Recent one turned me onto this track which is a bangin' throwback to the trashy electro sounds of young adulthood. Feels like being back in 2008-2010 getting ready for a Wednesday night out at Rich's San Diego again

That the two days should overlap like this feels like such a sick joke. It’s MLK day, doing my best to ignore everything else going on.

At this point of so many farcical Simpsons gags proving to be prophetic to reality, I’m on bated breath waiting for a literal baby to go full Luigi Mangione. Bonus points if it’s ACTUALLY a girl named Maggie Simpson; we all know who the real-world Mr. Burnses are 😒

Having said that, I’m shocked at how archaic and user-hostile SDSU’s registration platform is. I expected it to be better than San Diego Community College’s portal, which is Apple-level elegant in comparison to SDSU’s.

This first half of January has been fraught with outcome suspense and analysis paralysis over key decisions to make. After some calls to SDSU and a lot of time weighing options, accepted the burden of student debt and enrolled in 12 (maybe 13) units for Spring 2025.

And the stress hormones are loose 😬🤞🏽 Hoping it gets controlled quick and doesn't fireball into a big destructive thing...

Well, since @jetpack.com kept returning "malformed request" errors when trying to add a BlueSky account using a custom domain and not wanting to test if reverting will break the connection, decided to just leave the .bsky.social handle in place and alleviate the pressure to get the site populated

My storage bin of leftover music CDs from the before times fell off the closet shelf and broke. Amused how I was cleaning it up, came across a signed Dir en grey album, and immediately thought to myself: “when the hell did I get that signed?” So much for young me’s “I’ll never forget” sentiments

The situation in Los Angeles is terrifying in itself, but also having gone through it so many times as a California resident, and could just as easily be San Diego. It’s lame not being able to do anything other than hold out hope on the situation and best wishes for those affected.

I remain very annoyed by how much 2024 has made me feel a certain type of way—I believe it’s referred to as “caring”—about law enforcement and judicial process. Never in my life did I picture myself keeping current with local news on those topics.

As 2024 winds down, I’m looking back and realizing just how much the year has changed me. All the better to handle the tumult that 2025 is going to bring as soon as it starts. Happy New Year

Started my day today with the Ticketmaster tension-suspense-despair-relief gauntlet, managed to secure tickets for a future date with my teenage self. Dir en grey’s “Vulgar” album was the most excruciating music release wait in my life, a favorite from before they toured the US. So excited!

I really wish I didn’t have active pending litigation so I could extensively detail WHY this is such a big deal. All I’ll say for now is that when you have someone lie on your name to a court of law, you quickly come to realize how many assumed legal guardrails and procedures don’t actually exist.

Apple AI Image Playgrounds first impressions: my non-Asian friends came out looking like Pixar renders. Mine were a straw hat and a pair of chopsticks short out of a dated caricature.

I can only hope Kendrick Lamar plans to have Deyra Barrera and a mixed mariachi/Black marching band for that Super Bowl show. The levels of minbdblowingly amazing that would be to watch…

Threw on Arcane not having anything else to watch and hearing so much good stuff about it. And just as my attention was drifting away from the first episode, the sound of Shohreh Aghdashloo’s voice snatched me back. Touché, casting director.

In a way, I kind of feel like Alan Wake right now: trapped by darkness and struggling to find my way to write/create my way out of it.

I have a cursory knowledge of rap & hip-hop at best and never really listen to it, but this new Kendrick Lamar album…WOW. The way it makes me want to give a whole ass unqualified TED Talk on how amazing GNX is.

Yet another development in that ongoing legal matter. I look forward to getting this next court date on 12/09 out of the way and finally letting this year-long saga be told…

All this digital reshuffling with social networking to more decentralized federated technologies has inspired me to finally get around to start trying to make something of my domain, and return to those “dated” millennial blogging tendencies. Owning your content is never passe.

Finally managed to get Threads connected to the OpenVibe app. Even with the limited functionality they disclaim, already so nice to have them all in one place. What’s old is new again.

If America were a man, based on the 2024 election map, he would have: · Hot legs and a perfect 🍑 · Decent arm muscle definition · A pretty face with a sharp haircut · Severe cognitive impairment · Genital herpegonnosyphilwarts · Cancer of multiple internal organ systems

Once @openvibe.social gets its Threads integration properly working, it becomes web 2.5 Trillian. Threads is AIM, OpenSky is MSN Messenger, and Mastodon is Yahoo Messenger

Already, have to say that BlueSky's implementation of domains as alternative user handles to the default @user.bsky.social format is 👨🏽‍🍳🤌🏽💋. Very much encourages owning a domain and creating a website to back it up, a much more legitimate verification mechanism than any $10/month blue checkmark

Keep reading elsewhere on how much BlueSky is gaining traction, seems to be heading where I'd hoped Mastodon would get itself. Threads is good enough, but I believe in an open web and decentralized technologies not owned by a single giant tech corporation very much have my interest & support
