I spent some time today crafting a pair of emotes for my Twitch channel. While I commissioned an artist to create one for me last week, I decided to try my hand at making my own. I’m pleased with how my initial attempts turned out! The next step involves working through my emote list and bringing the rest to life. Using Procreate on my iPad is really fun, and I’m excited about creating the entire set!

Inspection Time

Today, I completed the safety inspection for my car. I vaguely recall hearing about Texas possibly discontinuing safety inspections, though I might be mistaken. If it turns out to be true, it could mean the closure of all these inspection stations. While it’s unfortunate for the business owners, it would be a positive change for us drivers!

I hope you had a good day today!

Tonight, Mariko and a friend teamed up online to create a scrumptious Indian feast. It easily ranks among the finest Indian dishes I’ve ever eaten, and remarkably, they are also very nutritious! The standout was undoubtedly the beet dish… feeling thankful that my wife has such amazing culinary skills. 😄

We went to see the Creek Show downtown this evening. It’s a series of illuminated art installations along Waller Creek. Very cool, and free! The weather was very nice and it was fun to hang out with friends. The only thing missing was food and drink, but I’m sure we’ll make up for that in the future!
