Saturday morning kitty time
Mugwort curled up between my legs on my quilt in bed. His paws are extended in front of his head and his nose is tucked between them but his eyes are half open and he’s making eye contact with the camera.

Oooh happy to supply! I couldn’t remember if you’ve settled on a Seventeen bias but I figured you wouldn’t be opposed to an adorable Mingyu/Seungkwan pic.
Stray Kids Lee Know onstage in a black outfit that is fitted across the chest and really shows his pecs, with platinum hair with pink/blue/purple tinting BTS Kim Namjoon looking adorable and yet also hot in a black tank top and beanie with his hands cupping his face. He is smiling a little and looking into the camera like he was caught unawares. Txt Choi Soobin leaning back on a beige couch so his neck is extended. His hair is black and he’s smiling in a kind of lazy way. Seventeen Mingyu and Seungkwan both smiling sort of awkwardly but they look super cute. Seungkwan is winking. They’re both wearing white with mics on.

My new phone with its exciting new amounts of storage ALSO means so much room for so many more pictures of my cat.

Made it to the Boyz! Took me 2 hours in rush hour traffic. 😭 And I might have to go in to work tomorrow instead of working from home. 😭😭 I had imaginary conversations with coworkers in my head the whole drive. 😭😭😭 But I’m here and I’m going to have fun and love them and be happy for a few hours!!

I was too knocked out by my shots yesterday to post, but it’s still Han Jisung day in the states so I’m gonna post some pics! My other best guy!
Han Jisung sitting on his best resting back on his hands behind him, against a white background. He is wearing black pants and a flouncy white blouse with big ruffles in front. His hair is chestnut and his waist looks impossibly tiny. Closeup of Jisung’s head and shoulders, wearing a white top with red stripes around the collar and on the shoulders. He’s looking up through his glasses with his thumb on his lips. His hair is brown and he’s wearing fuzzy pink animal ears. He looks both sweet and sexy. Jisung looking bro’d out in a white v-neck t-shirt with some very nice prominent collarbones showing. His hair is a little long and shaggy and he’s got a strip of red candy in his mouth. Impossibly lovely Jisung in a gray striped sweater with his hand curled up under his chin. His hair is a little permed and fluffy and he’s smiling at someone to the right.

I know I don’t post about him a ton these days but Kim Namjoon is still my ult, forever my very best guy, and it makes me happy when he’s happy. I hope he’s had a great birthday.
BTS Kim Namjoon on stage, holding out his hand and looking with childlike wonder and excitement at the confetti falling around him Namjoon in extreme closeup, just his face and a fringe of hair over his forehead. His hair is light golden brown and the lighting is golden and he is smiling and scrunching up his nose. Screenshot of Namjoon on live, black hair, wearing a puffy winter coat and smiling with his hand cupping his chin and fingers covering half of his lower face. Namjoon laughing exuberantly in golden lighting with buzzed hair

Just saw @chucktingle.bsky.social and he was so fantastic. That felt GOOD. Here is where I say I’ve never actually read any of his books (yet!) but I went as a fan of Chuck Tingle the philosopher of art and life. I so wish my dad was here to know about him. I think he’d be into Chuck’s whole thing.

Just finished a birthday walk by a river, thinking about seeing a movie. When I get home I have the best vegan cheese and macaroni and smoky greens waiting for me, from the amazing vegan soul food restaurant, courtesy of my roommate.

The best thing about being home is enjoying a sunny but temperate day. Went for a walk in the arboretum, now enjoying some weed and fic on our back deck. There’s a gentle, mild breeze and wind chimes somewhere nearby. Really quite idyllic!!
View from my back deck, with potted plants on the deck in the foreground and part of the lawn and an old children’s play set behind the deck, and green bushes and trees and clear blue sky behind it all.

We made it to Stray Kids and are mostly having fun but it is truly too hot. I puked all over myself when I tried to eat before the show so that was fun. And they had to stop the show so security could help MANY people who are literally passing out. 😬 Honestly should have been rescheduled. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just walked from my hotel to the bookstore, which ended up feeling like a little further than I thought it would. But I have learned in my life that the key to doing a lot of vacation walking is to also do a lot of vacation sitting down and having snacks and drinks.
