Just trying my best out here
You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

When I got home from surgery, I got myself a gift, a Knightweave cloak. It came today, which was good , because I needed something good to happen today to put a smile on my face.

Grey for the Rangers of the Grey Company, who rode with Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead, and came out the other side.

OK, this is legitimately making me feel better

Like what if this was me all day?

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Wow. Fuck you, fortune cookie. That's not "fortune." That's cancer.

Sorry... the dark humor is load bearing

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

Picking one was hard. Also in the running were Tori Amos - Under the Pink, Jeff Buckley - Grace, and Portishead - Dummy

From an interview of Allan Heinberg, show runner of Sandman (link in comment). Just an absolutely gross thing to say. Even if you only take the things Neil has full on admitted to, they're vile and disgusting. So Allan, you can fuck right off with this "room for nuance" and "everybody has a truth."

8 years ago we brought home this little girl, and our lives have not been the same since. She's equal parts sweetness and attitude (maybe a little more attitude). Happy Gotcha Day to the captain, J.L. Pipes.

You see this shit from Murkowski? This is all freaking bonkers shit to say. If you don't think the bill is "not there yet," how about you fucking vote no on it?!

Seriously, Khanna's take on this is so bad. First of all, it's just absurd on its face. Astore choosing what it will and won't stock isn't censorship. But the specific example is also bonkers. Is Plato using the proceeds of The Republic to fund legislation for slavery? No, because he's fucking dead.

She just sat on the ottoman in front of me and cried until I moved over and made room for her on the blanket.

Started working on painting minis again. This dude has been sitting on my desk for a very long time, with only the skin done. Finally starting to work on him again.

This leapt immediately to mind.

Let's fucking go

I've officially hit the "fuck it" stage of packing. At least I labeled it?

Holy shit, we bought a condo! We're homeowners!
May 15, 2025 at 11:03 PM
Just got done with signing. Now we are just waiting to hear everything is good to go, and then all that's left is getting keys!
May 15, 2025 at 4:13 PM
This wall lamp is in the condo we're buying. It's CLEARLY a Romulan lamp, right? Anyway, we're definitely keeping this thing.

One of the biggest inspirations for my deep dive into Tolkien these last few years is the work of Dr. Corey Olsen, "The Tolkien Professor." It was worth the price of admission for this conference just to get to tell him how much his work means to me.
