Miserable at work with a horrible backache. Ready to get home to these two.
Two black cats with yellow eyes are lying on a bed on a blue blanket. Both have their front paws tucked under and they are looking to the left.

Hmm.
Movie poster for Allen Nation. The title is at the top of my poster. There is a light beam coming down from the top and reflecting on a clear dome over a city skyline. On the left is the face of James Caan. On the right is the face of an alien with a hairless mottled bald head and a human like face. The words PREPARE YOURSELF are on the bottom left.

Best part of the holidays is finding my annual package of cuteness from Portugal in my mailbox! Thank you so much @jetgirl.bsky.social !! (Bonus: the awesome blanket my secret Santa at work got me)
An array of cute stickers including kitties and kawaii characters, a blue bookmark with white flowers, and a red Merry Christmas card with a smiling snowman. The items are arrayed on a light blue fleece blanket with black kitties in sunglasses.

Nosferatu was awesome!! And we got the popcorn casket!

Day 6/20
A book cover shows a series of consecutive vertical lines over a backdrop giving the effect of looking through a set of thin translucent blinds or a curtain made of tape. The lighting is bright yellow at the top, then pink, then pavement. There may be a person in a subway tunnel or on a city street but it's difficult to tell. The title 'after dark' is in black lower case in a white erased area in the top center of the book. The author Haruki Murakami is in white text on the bottom left.

Book cover with the author's name Hunter S. Thompson at the top in black block letters. The cover is sunset-colored, lighter orange at the top and darker orange at the bottom. The title under the author's name is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and is in red writing that looks slightly sloppy like it was hand written with a paint pen. There is a black ink drawing of two distorted figures in a car in the foreground . One has a cartoonist hand raised and a round head with wiry hair coming out of it and big eyes and mouth. The other character's face is in black shadow and only a panama hat and a long fingered doodled hand are visible.

I have two voids! This is Henry and Frankie!
