The artist formerly and also still known as monanotlisa. If you remember Better Buffy Fics, or Livejournal, you're in the right place.
No, but seriously.

California hike after what was a lot yet not too much food; I stopped myself and the wife (who had been feeling quite ill when we got home last year).

In addition to the food and how gluten-free it is, yet another Italian initiative to strive for!

My pseudo-nephew is making Actually Self-Designed 100% No AI stencil t-shirts, and I must simply point out the absolute delight that is his “Capy America” one.

We have two outside-only cats that we adopted from Feral Change in Oakland. This morning my wife gazed onto our tiny back porch with its cat beds, and said, “I feel they are enrichment for our enclosure.”

Here’s my Starfinder Operative, Spark. She’s little and clever, shy enough to shoot first (and ask questions never).

My massage therapist brought me back gluten-free marshmallow/gummy Candy from her trip to the Netherlands. 🥰

I mean, this is the woman who gave us the Definitive Guide To Presenting Yourself.

For a hot second I was confused about the Ancients running their longterm table-top RPG sessions without clothing.

Believe it or not, I actually did stand near a coconut tree at the Sigatoka Sand Dunes on the main island, heard a loud THUNK! next to me, and found a green coconut still rolling through the sand. Shit's real.

One of my favorite critters in the tropics and subtropics!

First, I survived picking up two cane toads last night; didn’t lick them and apparently that helps.

Second, other people’s vacation photos are mostly boring, it’s true, but hey! Waterfalls — we hiked through the rainforest to see three of them (and I jumped into the cool water at the topmost one).

Why you should always double-check the information on totally harmless animals a kindly old lady gives you.

For when your resort is a tiny eco-tourism location and does not serve any alcohol on the premises.

Fiji, man. Unbelievably beautiful.

Third-best sighting: a small reef shark, as ever busily trying to mind their business...elsewhere. :) Sharks are so cool, and now that I've seen several I'm much less panicked about them. I credit this to the Fijian snorkelers taking us -- if local folks are relaxed, I'm relaxed too!

Second best sighting: two Giant Triggerfish fighting each other -- perhaps over territory? Was there a third one I missed whom they were all about?

Best sighting of the day while snorkeling: a half-meter porcupinefish! It looked as if it was smiling...which is just its mouth, of course, but at least we know it didn't feel seriously threatened -- it would have blown up into a spiky ball.

Our second vacation residence has two kitties. 😻 This one is called Pie.

Oh no!

There’s an unaccompanied Myna in the airport!

A whiptail stingray, poor little thing…I paddled after it (not too close) for a while to show my wife and sister.
