Two Goats and a Donkey!

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

And another Tuesday in Octoberween has come along! I hope today finds everyone doing well! T'is the 13th day of Spooky Season, and I'm here for it! Tomorrow is my day off this week, and I'm really looking forward to a day where I don't have to do anything except what I want to do and, of course, go to Sam's for Steve. Most of what I'll be doing tomorrow is working on this website, as I'm trying to give it a facelift, fix a few problems that didn't even dawn on me were problems until recently, as well as working on the Joe Liene Stories that I've been writing. There are currently four stories, with a fifth on the way.

I've also been working on a line of male pinups. In the 1950's, Duane Bryer created a plump pinup girl named Hilda, and I've been working with ChatGPT to create a male version called Hank. For the moment, I've mostly been reworking the Hilda ones with Hank in her place, although I do have an original-ish one with Hank on a picnic blanket. I imagine it's not all that original, being an AI creation, but I haven't seen the Hilda equivilent of it yet. The first 15 images below are of that line, showing the possibly-original Hank picnic, then showing Hilda and the Hank equivilent. Joe Liene has been taking up most of my time, so Hank is in second or third place right now on my priorities list. I'm excited to try out Hank and am looking to expand that line into around 100 original(-ish) images!

I'm also working with ChatGPT (Donna from A Paranormal Chicks refers to ChatGPT as Chad, and I'm tempted to start doing that myself lol) to create a line of Good Morning memes. I've created several of those, 11 of which are represented below as the last 11 images. I've used myself and Cooper in a few of them, and I've just tried being creative and unique with the ones not using our likenesses. It'd be awesome if suddenly everyone started using my memes lol. I know, I know, it's AI, anyone can make them, but it gives me some much-needed zest for life to be working on these things. And hey, whatever makes me want to stay around and keep living is the best thing ever, right?

Steve of course came down this weekend, although he didn't come until Saturday morning because of Hurricane Isaias, which honestly the forecasters had no clue what it was going to do. The spaghetti models were truly all over the place, and the possibility, according to them, that it could travel up through Mississippi was worrisome to him, especially leaving his mama alone so soon after losing her husband. So instead of his usual Friday night, it was Saturday morning when he arrived, and we pretty much did everything we could do in Hattiesburg. We went shopping, of course, and then we fixed my toilet because it was running and wasting water at an alarming rate. And my water bill was skyrocketing. So in between the AI images below are actual photos from this weekend. Now, there is one AI image in the middle of them. I'd taken a picture of Cooper specifically to see what putting a Headless Horseman costume on him would look like, so I included both of those images.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for today! I hope everyone has a satisfying and fantastic Tuesday, and I'll try to make these entries more often (ha, y'all have heard that before, I know!). Until next missive, have a great day!
