This is what happens when someone decides to wake up at ONE IN THE MORNING and decides he’s not tired anymore. Dude just absolutely crashed and burned. :D

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

Today was filled with the kind of house cleaning that makes you fall into the couch at the end of the day and just zone out for a few hours.

Holy fuck but having kids wrecks your house. I have SEEN THINGS today. Things I will never unsee.

One of the most useful things I’ve ever bought, years ago, was a pressure washer. It’s a cheap piece of shit from Harbor Freight, but good god DAMN has it made itself useful.

We had a rug that I’d written off as uncleanable, and it looks almost good as new after a few passes. :D

Panel 1 Harper: BRUUUH. Silent Hill is friggen’ amazing! The SH2 remake was awesome, but Silent Hill f is ENTIRELY my brand of horror. Mae: Right? I told you you’d enjoy Silent Hill. Harper: Are any of the other games good? Panel 2 Mae: Oh, sure - the original was my favorite, but the PS2 graphics haven’t aged well. 3 was good too, but I never played any others. I enjoyed the movie too, even though it had mixed reviews. Harper: Oh dang, there’s a movie?! We’ve gotta watch it! Mae: I’m not sure how appropriate it is… Panel 3 Harper: How come? Mae: Well, let’s just put it this way… at one point in the movie, pyramid head holds a woman up by her throat, rips her clothes off, tears the flesh off of her body in one move and hurls it at the door of a church. Panel 4 Harper: Ohhh, so it’s like a kids movie? Mae: CHRIST but your generation goes hard with horror.

You guys, I still have a few episodes left of season 4, but I really think “The Bear” might be one of the all-time great tv shows. Far and away.

I just watched the wedding episode and my heart is SO FULL right now.

I love it when things go wrong in a way that says “Hey! Fuck you!”

Went to turn on the vacuum cleaner, and if it just didn’t turn on, or died, that would be one thing. But the thing actually shot literal sparks out the goddamn back before it died.

Like, I GET IT. FUCK ME. :P

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Panel 1 Mae: UGGGGH. Liz: You gonna be okay, sweetheart? Panel 2 Mae: It’s either allergies or a cold, but I can’t tell which. My head feels like it’s stuffed full of wool. Liz: Is there anything I can do to help before I head to work? Mae: Not really, unless you want to put me out of my misery. Panel 3 Liz: Okay. Panel 4 Mae: I’m gonna need a little more clarity on that answer!!

Is anyone else having an issue on the iOS Bluesky app where they open a video (or even sometimes a picture) and the interface just completely disappears, and you have to kill the app to get it to work again? It’s been happening to me constantly for the last few weeks.

God DAMN Frankenstein was good.

Somehow, it’s the first Guillermo Del Toro movie I’ve ever actually seen (I know, I don’t know how either), but yeah, that was a solid goddamn movie.

Panel 1 Mae: God DAMN it! Dave: Sounds like someone is having a good time in here. What’s going on? Panel 2 Mae: This FUCKING 3D printer has started doing a thing where it just stops extruding after a seemingly random time period, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Dave: What troubleshooting have you done so far? Panel 3 Mae: I’ve replaced the nozzle, checked the extruder gear, checked the thermistor, made sure it’s not clogging, verified the connections for all of the motors, made sure that the stepper motors are working… Mae: Honestly, I’ve basically torn it apart and rebuilt it from the ground up. Panel 4 Dave: So… just throwing this out there, but even though it doesn’t print on paper, it IS still a printer, so… Mae: Oh god dammit, it’s MAD at me, isn’t it?

Panel 1 Mae: OOF. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to lie down this badly. Getting older sucks. Panel 2 Parker: DADDY! Can I have some Lucky Charms? Mae: Oh, god… Parker, can’t you wait a while? I JUST laid down, buddy. Panel 3 Parker: Nooo! I’m hungry though! Can I have them now pleeeeease? Mae: Bud, I just laid down, and my back is killing me. They’re all the way on top of the cabinets. Panel 4 Parker: It’s OK, daddy! I’ll get them! Mae: No, Parks, it’s… *sigh* Mae: …just… stack a few chairs on top of each other and try not to die. Narration: Parent of the year!

The downside of being A) poor and 2) having a younger kid is that I don’t really get to see movies in theaters any more, which means I only JUST NOW got to see Fantastic 4, and me going “Holy crap that movie was so good!!” falls more than a little flat since everyone else saw it months ago. :D

So far these are the “main 4” locations that I’ve got framed out to match as closely to the comic framing as possible. They’re all taken at the equivalent of 4 PM at this time of year, and I’ll probably run off a batch of them at different times to see how things shift.

Panel 1 Mae: We’re kind of out of stuff to watch… should we try something new? Liz: Sure, why not? Panel 2 Liz: Oh! I heard about a show called “The Bear” - it’s supposed to be really good. It’s about a chef in Chicago. People say the food looks amazing. Mae: I’m willing to give it a try. I have yet to see a show about restaurants that actually feels like it was made by someone who actually worked in one. Panel 3 Liz: Well, from what I hear, it’s supposed to be REALLY accurate. Like, surprisingly so. Mae: Yeah, we’ll see. Nobody ever really gets it right. Panel 4 Mae: TOO REAL. TOO REAL. YES CHEF. CORNER.
