I only now realize that it is Friday the 13th today. Honestly, it hasn't been THAT bad, but still.

So daylight savings kicked in, and it totally caught me off guard.

This weekend has just been so depressing. I haven't even been able to get onto Trainz to do... anything really. You know when someone tells you to relax, and then not even 5 seconds later proceed to force you into a position where you can't? Like, what's up with that?

I know I said I'd try and make some YouTube content, but ultimately, due to constraints from school... Yeah I ain't making anything for a while. Apologies.

I guess I forgot to mention this, but at the end of the previous day I got the FCT back. Nice.

I guess now the only real issue is the fact that I don't have the FCT anymore. Shoot.

UPDATE: So... false alarm? It seems as though something is going on at N3V itself. Whatever the case, things overall are progressing at a slow rate right now.

I'm about to go crazy. Why did my MyTrainz just suddenly decide to change my password? Did my account get hacked? How would I check? Why did this occur after the JointedRail incident? Is this a coincidence? WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Does anyone want to explain to me why it suddenly snowed today?

Hoping to make a new video sometime soon, don't know what'll be though.

So: Southern Railway 4501 is returning to her "Virginian Green" paint scheme for a limited time (Just 2026), and... well... I'm happy that nostalgia is being recognized, but I never really liked the green for 4501 (I've only now just gotten used to 722's look in green).

Tomorrow will mark the end of the first month of the new year... I already don't like it.

👍

I did it. Now it's more accurate.

I should probably remove that account name on my "about" section because, quite frankly, I was SO immature back then.

I'm convinced that JointedRail may have banned my account because they got mad that I pointed out the problem with the locomotive/rolling stock numbering system.

I have no idea what I should make next.

Last surprise for 2025: I uploaded a video on YouTube without waiting for another year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mohp...

Is everyone TRULY ready for 2026? Yeah... me neither.

Long story short: It wasn't at all what I thought it would be unfortunately.

Just got back home yesterday (Airplane got delayed, typical). I'm gonna go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at 3:00.

Merry Christmas, and have a happy-… well, GOOD LUCK on the new year.

Gonna go on vacation in the morning, so I won't be back for about a week.

What did I mean by "I'll make up for it" again?

I went to see the CPKC holiday train over in Buffalo, MN. I would've seen it yesterday or the day before that, but it was WAY too cold. I might post the video I took if I can muster up enough motivation to get the phone and transfer the necessary files (Lazy much?).

Christmas is almost here. I guess the malls can start playing the festive music during the correct month.

I.E. Today is my birthday, while it is also Thanksgiving... celebrate either one I suppose.

Left ear is still giving me trouble, but today I'm one year older than I was previously!

My left ear is all gunked up, and I don't know what to do about it. This is so annoying.

So, the model railroad show was boring (I'll make up for it), but the play was AWESOME!
