According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Were I a DJ at a college radio station, I’d enthusiastically spin tracks from this record: Fleshy by ML Buch

Here it is on Youtube. Check out Hug. The one in the video below is This Far.

A small, brindle, boston terrier pug mix stands in a living room, framed left. Behind him is a two-tall stack of vinyl crate shelves. It’s white. Beside it, a white TV stand. Lower shelves: a PS2 and and Xbox Series X, both lying on their sides. Above, a wood-trimmed speaker, a R.O.B., a stack of books, and a vinyl record. There are plants.

My dog is a good actor.
A cute brindle dog’s face, close-up, nose in focus, in a shot with very shallow depth of field. We’re talking f1.8 zone. In this shot, the dog’s right eye is closed, in a wink, with a gruff face that seems to be asking more questions than willing to provide answers.

In this shot, the dog has a smirk on his face that recalls one of Harrison Ford’s signature looks. A cute brindle dog’s face, close-up, nose in focus, in a shot with very shallow depth of field. We’re talking f1.8 zone. In this shot, the dog appears mouth open, mid-cough, or mid-bark, but somehow just after the beginning or end of it. It’s a strange still, not awkward, but still unnatural.

He has no further questions and approves your answer.

This is a good photo I took of my friends once that I saw again and liked
A squared-up shot of a San Francisco storefront, home to a wine bar called Millay that is lit internally solely by hot pink lights. The subjects of the photo, framed left, stand in front of Millay; a couple, man and woman, in truly fashionable attire, look off frame ahead and right, with interest piqued. The man vapes. Another man, this one with a cap, mustache, and glasses, leaves through the door, framed center, hurried, and thus in a blur.
