My “wood” phone case was starting to crack on the edges, so I swapped it out for my “travel” case.
An empty phone case with a wood backing to it next to a phone with a case that has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

I feel like with all the time I had off this week I should have done more work on this, but…
More of the scarf being knitted.

I’m putting on my Blu-ray copy, because physical media, but if you want to watch The Thin Man this holiday season it’s available on Tubi for free.
The Tubi menu screen for The Thin Man, which if you look closely has the word Christmas in it. So there.

Latest on the scarf.
A segment of a scarf on a knitting needle, with a ballpoint pen next to it for scale. Oh, trust me. Scale will be important as this goes on.

I can't wash this blood off my hands
I can’t get the scum out of my soul
I can't scrape this stain off my brain
And I can't get this box off my head

Though I’d post a progress shot.
A green scarf with gold stripes on a set of knitting needles. It’s about a foot long at this point.

It’s been three weeks since my birthday party, and this balloon is still floating. I’m legitimately impressed.
A Mylar balloon shaped like a slice of cake with the words Happy Birthday on it. It’s been sitting in that upper corner of the ceiling for almost three weeks.

I swear to god, I came across this exact video clip yesterday…
A still from a road trip episode of Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson points to a Ford Fiesta, labeled HARD EVIDENCE OF TRUMPS INVOLVEMENT WITH EPSTEINS CHILD RAPING STUFF and saying, “This is brilliant.” then pointing to a VW Up! labeled TRUMP SUCKED BILL CLINTON’S DICK and saying “But I like this.”

I just read this whole article, thinking back to how I had to study phonics in first and second grade, and this current method of teaching described…
A sequence from the movie Glass Onion, where Daniel Craig says “It’s so dumb.” Kate Hudson then is shown saying “It’s so dumb it’s brilliant!” Daniel Craig then immediately responds, “NO! It’s just dumb!”

While I didn’t see the movie as a kid, I did have some of the toys. I am shocked to discover that my favorite cowboy toy was in fact a small plastic Christopher Lloyd.

Okay, Amazon. I don’t know what in the algorithmic hell caused this juxtaposition. Just know that I have taken note of it.
An Amazon search listing, which first gives the Jodorowsky film The Holy Mountain, a mindscrew of a movie filled with religious commentary and subversion. The second listing is Miracle in the Wilderness, a Kris Kristofferson movie about western settlers talking the story of the nativity to a group of Native Americans who are holding them prisoner. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

An assortment of carpenters levels. All of which have “wrong” written on them. Above them is the caption “this is wrong on so many levels.”

Actually, that one I can read fine.
The D&D Beyond listing for the Wakewyrm, with white text on black, and an eerie green tinted illustration.

Question for anyone who uses the D&D Beyond app: is the Listings section a mess for anyone else? I was looking up something, and it was unreadable. Examples below.
The D&D Beyond Listings entry for Haflings. It is black text on black, except for links, which are blue. It is thoroughly unreadable. The same as the other picture, black text on black, except this is the listing for an Adult Red Dragon. What the hell, man?

It has begin. #RCTID
A ball of dark green yarn, and a knitting needle with ten rows of knitting on it. It’s the beginning of a scarf. Who knows how long it will be at the end.

Home from birthday nonsense, probably drank a bit too much. But god I had fun.

AND LOOK AT WHAT PATCH GIAVE ME! THEY HAVE SAWDUST FROM THE LOG IN THEM! I… WHAT?
A walnut dice vault, inscribed with the words Bury Me In Green & Gold. In it, a set of custom gaming dice, inside of which are particles of the Timbers victory log. Yeah, you heard me.
