Should I post my Tumblr?
I want to walk but it's so weirdly damp/misty out there and I also have no idea if the ice is still on all the sidewalks.

Watching the Night Court reboot and Pete Holmes says people mistake him for John Ritter and holy shit how did I not see that before?

If it doesn't get new updates, can the users pay a single fee and keep it forever?
Adobe reversed its plans to discontinue Animate after creators expressed frustration, stating it won't get new features but will remain available "indefinitely" (Jay Peters/The Verge)

Folks: Back up to an external every month! And try to only keep your short-term, active files on your actual computer if possible. Put the date you started your HD on the shell so you have an idea of when you might need to replace them.

Zack is watching through Babylon 5 for the first time and this is an insightful observation of a show that was released when the 90s/00s space opera genre was just getting started (Yes, there was TNG, but no LEXX, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Andromeda, Stargate, or Farscape yet)

I never even dared to dream of this.
I could not be more excited about THUNDERCATS X SILVERHAWKS: THUNDERHAWKS and the work that Vincenzo Frederici and I have been putting into it.

Check out these killer designs our out Time Displaced team from Alessandro Ranaldi of Pumyra, Lynx-O, Neko, and Ligon decked out in SilverHawk gear.

I kinda really want to watch the OG Ghost In The Shell and I'm thinking maybe I should try to write it out from memory, I did that with The Shining a couple years ago and it was an interesting experiment.

Just saw a Chili's ad and man do I want a cheeseburger. Been at least two weeks and after freezing for three days or so I think I deserve one.
a group of men are standing next to each other on a golf course and one of them is talking about cheeseburger .
Alt: The bit from Caddyshack where Spalding wants a hamburger, no a cheeseburger, he wants a hot dog, he wants a milkshake... and Judge Smails is immediately "you'll get nothing and like it!"

I'd really like to get back into watching tokusatsu but it also feels like I'm never in the mood

I have been playing with this hexagonal slinky thing since Charlton gave it to me.

So update, managed to salvage quite a bit of that food we kept outside. Obviously anything open had to go, but... actually kind of impressed that it worked as well as it did.

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

Finally turned on my daily driver laptop after four days and the screen looks SO freaking huge!

Just realized the fridge never turned back on. Should have realized that hours ago, but I was feeling the temperature rather than, you know, noticing the light wasn't turning on when the door opened.

Trying not to get too comfortable. Just to be on the safe side.

It is easier to become an NFL player than a regularly-paid screenwriter in the US. It is incredibly, incredibly difficult to make a life in film, especially now.
It pisses me off so much that a lot of people think that acting or anything art related isn’t a realistic career choice, like what the fuck are you talking about??? how else do you think movies get made??

Charlton 3d-printed me a cool little fidget toy thing. Also good kid.

Harry was saying how much he likes having people over "because it's so boring just watching TV and playing online games." Good kid.

This is straight up why I can't have pets, I'll just drop everything. to scratch and cuddle with them. You know how many hours Daisy spent in my hoodie? All of them.

Cody the dog's big jowls are all of a sudden reminding me of Nixon in Futurama.

Going through a lot of portfolios this week and i am BEGGING people:

Put ON THE IMAGE what you did.

Did you design the character? Or only do the turn around. Did you design the background? Or only paint it? Or do prod bgs based off the key?

I’m not a detective! I’m just an art director!

They also have two massive dogs and the second they figured out I was a scratcher they have been all over me.

I thought Charlton might have just forgotten about me, first thing he did was show me he still has the car I gave him, then a tour of all the cool stuff in his room. Made me feel good

Hanging out with friends who have a generator after freezing for two days. Nice bit of normality. Though will be quite happy when power is finally restored

Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock.

Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.
Name a celebrity or TV character from another show who would pop out of the window to talk to Batman and Robin while they were climbing a building if they were making the 60s Batman show today
