My cat got very sick. She has to be taken to the vet every day until she gets better because I can't do the treatment alone because its painful for her. Poor little animal. My hearts breaking man.
Today I read about the The Oubliette – ‘Forgotten Chamber’, a caged pit at the bottom of a dungeon which was used to keep prisoners in horrific captivity.
Sometimes lords would starve the victim, or, perhaps if they were unlucky given the circumstances, they would have just enough food and drink thrown down to them to survive dreadfully. This was doubtlessly worse than a swift end as the victim was kept alive for months or even years in the dark, losing one’s sanity. Oubliettes were narrow pits in which the prisoner had little room to do anything but sit there and contemplate the horrendous situation they had found themselves in, and in many cases the latrine overflow would also add an extra element of torture. When they did die, the deceased’s corpse was sometimes left to rot. This would attract vermin, and the presence of rats and a half-devoured and rotting body would act as a brutal addition to the terror inspired by the oubliette when its next victim arrived. As a result, many examples of oubliettes have been discovered with the skeletal remains of an assortment of victims whose bones were never removed from them.
Not sad, but annoyed. Went to the pharmacy this morning. Had to deal with a guy behind the counter who decided to flex the tiniest bit of power at his disposal. Decided to do what HE wanted instead of what his boss told him to do. Got into a heated argument. Ruined my entire mood for the day.
Leaving 3D to study as a programmer. Sad, because I did the wrong choices in my career by hunting money instead of experience. Should have landed in a big studio with less money and had someone that could have acted as a mentor. Instead of Moving so fast and leaving with a bad taste.
"Historic day for Germany: Fascists win the first state election in the history of the Federal Republic - with a regional association that is classified as definitely right-wing extremist. It is the greatest political success for Nazis since the 1930s."

Do you think it's better there?... You'll be back.
