And sometimes you need to confront your childhood trauma head-on.
(I kid. I was able to complete the level about 70% of the time, but I think at least some of my anxiety stems from this game.)

Screw you, NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Sometimes you just wanna Ski Free.

But then you get eaten by a Yeti.

Been repurposing old filament light bulbs, but I guess someone else claimed dibs on this one.

Having desk space means I can actually work on stuff!

The blue star winged bottle is an older creation (but I still like it a lot).
Recently snagged some bat wing molds, and had this idea.

Bird has no interest snuggling up into hoodies, she just pokes at my face and stomps off (until she'll decide later that she wants to be under my chin).

Guess she's got enough bird heat feather convection going on.

Looked over to see where Bird was as she'd been suspiciously quiet -- and notice something odd
..Until I realize it's the sunlight playing on the surface of the aquarium water, which happens this time of year.

So I made a silly video.

Have some video of the raccoon family playing around.

Mama raccoon out here wrasslin' her bebbies.

...but sometimes you end up playing out IRL situations, like when you get to your car after hours of grocery shopping and realize you forgot that one important thing on your list.

Wish it had clicked sooner that it was, in fact, a kestrel - and not one of those bird screaming alarms some businesses use. Traffic started moving after a few blurry pics.. wanted to get a better look at coloration for a project I'm working on.

Kesties are one of my favorites.

Threegal.

Sitting in the park eating scavenger wraps (a mishmash of pilfered condiments and cheap prepped foods from the grocery store), and i hear familiar squawking somewhere nearby.
Three eagles circling one another -- mating season or territory dispute, who knows.

I think? this is the last pumpkin I'm carving this year. Will get a table and chair next time... hunched over on the kitchen floor destroyed my back.

Folks' dogs. We're gonna surprise it with MiL tomorrow, just in time for Halloween.

This is why I stay up til 3AM to work on anything that requires focus. Spend half the day trying to keep her amused without getting hurt..

She's trying to get behind the picture frames. It's a miracle the 3M command strips haven't given out.

Lots of vultures hanging out in the towns we visited yesterday.

There's something about an overcast sky, mossy tree, and that silhouette..

I don't know much about the Rayman games
I don't even know her name, but wtf cute.

Happy Spoopy or something.

Pumpkin number 2 of the year.
The innards made the second batch of syrup, the gourd itself carved with the logo of the local organization counterpart is a member of.
Waiting to hear what the kids think of it at today's free store.
