Posting can wait.

There was a cabinet of ducks at the restaurant I was at today.

A book cover for “Sterling Karat Gold” by Isabel Waidner. The cover depicts a flying saucer, issuing a beam of light downward.

A bit ok cover, depicting a long, blue, serpentine dragon. The title is “A Day of Fallen Night” by Samantha Shannon.

Just finished my #firstbookof2025, Isabel Waidner’s Sterling Karat Gold.

(I actually wound up one book short of my goal for 2024, but I upped my goal by 20% for 2025, anyway.)

Next is a fantasy- A Day of Fallen Night, by Samantha Shannon.

Bananas are good as they are, but baking them into banana BREAD? Ohhhh yeah.

I wound up painting it because I am easily amused.

It is eleventh bajillion dollars, if you want it.

Some rare good news out of Arkansas & a big L for Sarah Huckabee Slanders 👏👏👏

Here’s a simple reindeer doodle I did this morning. 🦌

Also trousers would be hell to shop for.

Shallot be considered a good trade? I think so.

The best part of Cracker Barrel is definitely the pegging. I always enjoy the satisfaction I get when I wind up with one in the end.

…what?

Aliumms !!!

A picture of me at 14 or 15, in an old photo album. I never could smile right, lol.

A screenshot from Stardew Valley. A small cave (the ‘farm cave’) has been converted to a meeting place for a cult of junimo worshippers.

Checking in on the new tenants. Should… should I be worried about these guys? #stardewvalley

Did you know that, in Stardew Valley, you can put cursed mannequins in the chapel, and they'll turn into regular mannequins overnight? It's true!

(You don't have to make it look like they're getting married for it to work; I was just having some fun with it.)

Some puppy pics for Thursday evening.

Sometimes I wished I could still mask the way I could before. Life wasn’t easier, but it was had a far simpler rules. Watch the way people around you behave, and behave that way when you’re around them.
That stopped working for me about four years ago.

@duolingoverde.bsky.social is cutting me a little deep, here. 😅

There is a movie on streaming, for which the entire premise is “what if a kid wrote to Satan instead of Santa for Christmas.”

This pleases me.

True. Diet Coke, like Tab before it, walked so Coke Zero could run.

In 2003, they made a Grand Theft Auto clone featuring the Simpsons. If I have to remember that, then so do you:

I live about two blocks from my local library. I’ll go there sometimes to read my own books, just because the amount and type of noise is predictable, which keeps me calm.

mad that we use the word "gravid" for females carrying eggs. "eggnant" was right there.

Thinking back to that time, years ago, when a little old guy stopped me at the gas station to ask directions. As he was leaving, he handed me a business card he had prepared specifically to proposition fat guys for sex.

Don’t get me wrong; the print quality was excellent. But just… no. 😬

I sure hope so!

Thank you!!

I have a job interview Thursday.

A shot of Baltimore’s iconic Bromo Seltzer clock, from the movie “Major League 2”

A shot of three characters talking, from the movie “Major League 2.” Baltimore’s Eutaw St. and Boog’s BBQ stand can be seen in the background.

Did you know that the home stadium used in “Major League II” was not Cleveland’s Jacob’s Field, but rather Baltimore’s Oriole Park at Camden Yards, just rebranded for the movie?

The movie even features a shot of the Bromo Seltzer clock, and Boog’s BBQ! 🙂

I’ve always appreciated how thoroughly and passionately the Romulans embraced shoulder pads.
