I don't want that in my house; it'd probably try to deport my cats.

Hour and a half kung fu workout with some weights between forms. Happy to get the cardio going again.

Yesterday was weapons practice with lat pull downs and overhead presses between weapon types. It'd been a bit since any weapons training, so it was fairly exhausting.

Ocular migraines are both awful and amazing. I get hallucinatory light shows; once I had iridescent fractal patterns!

Glad you're feeling better.

I'm just sayin' that the ubiquitous architectural motif in Metroid Prime 4 was... a curious choice.

A nude, hefty duergar dwarf from Baldurs Gate 3.

I know this feeling.

You can have some of this if you like.

Oh, gods, Guild Wars! That takes me back. I wasn't huge into PVP, but we did enjoy playing the story for a while.

A snowy yard and trees.

It snowed a lil bit.

...or does that beard have you?

If you tag stuff and they choose to open it anyway, that's on them. Not your problem.

Some are definitely better than others, but rice noodles are my usual go-to for substitution.

I became gluten intolerant, so no more pasta for me.

A man with a white beard looks over his glasses with a quizzical expression.

You're on your best behaviour, right? I'm watching.

いい行いしてか？　見ているよ。

Cultura Chocolates wall mural.

A macuahuitl! B promised to get me one for X-Mas.

A small dark chocolate bar and crumbled, spiced chocolate bits for a hot drink.

Had Dim sum with friends from out of town, then discovered Cultura Chocolates down in Denver. Had an excellent Mexican Chocolate coffee, bought a few treats, and then rolled home like a bearded, overstuffed katamari.

*burp*

If it were "Dad is gone" it'd be an excellent dad joke. Missed opportunity, there.

"See, this guy? His balls are greatly affected by gravity, so they bounce a lot, and this other guy he's with gets more powerful the more that balls bounce, so they're great together!"

Ball X Pit, everyone.

Dang, Jersey Mike's is not subtle AT ALL.

Yup.

I love that screen.

Oh, you know, a bit here, a bit there, keep up the effort, etc.

Also, have flattering lighting.

Oh, good. I was worried you'd completely lost your sense of taste.

Anyway, the rice person should have a carrot slice for a peen. Least they could do, right?

Yes, more of this, please. Thank you.

My good man, why would you ruin a perfectly good curry this way by adding parsley‽ Ugh!

The other religions are failing pretty badly right now, so you've got a real shot at being a prophet for something new. Go for it.

Thanks. I'll be able to disassociate from the aches soon enough.

It's dropping about 30° in the next 11 hours which causes some pretty tremendous body aches, so I'm gonna take an edible and bliss off for the night. ✌️

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response Videos. Various sounds that cause a pleasant tingle though the body is the response, and now there're a ton of videos with sounds to help people sleep, relax, or just hit the soothing spot.

Like rubbing your hands through your body hair, for example.

Bear fur ASMR videos are a thing, yes?

A cranky 14 year old tabby glares at me for having the audacity to stop petting her to take a picture.

I have a way to gently pester my cranky old girl, Mimsabel. When her front paws are out, I quickly kiss the tops of them and it annoys her enough to delicately swat me.

Today, however, she backhanded me. Gently, of course, but still.
