So I voted in local elections today. It was a run off. I had to make exactly 2 selections and done. Seems silly for the effort it took to be there, but if everyone else thinks it's too silly to do, my vote will really count then.

Me in discord playing FFXIV: Hold on, let me round up all of these "cun shavers".
My sister also in discord: W-WHAT?!!
The rest of the crew in discord: *bursts into laughter and then explains*
My sister: So...they could also be "cuns havers"
Me: W-WHAT?!!

I love how strategies are sometimes described in FFXIV. I was so busy laughing that I was getting hit by mechanics.

Me in FFXIV 24-man raid: Raid, how do I convince the cat to let me stay up and raid past bedtime?
Raid: Do what the cat says.
Me: But I have to heal the raid.
Raid: We will heal ourselves. Obey the cat.
Me:

Tried to take a pic of my decorated tree. Tuximus Prime had to dart in and remind me that he is a gift.

Old picture of foster kitten Erika. What it looks like when a kitten has eaten a big meal. They chonk.

Cat likes to sleep like this, beans up.

Sharing this here because he was just too cute not to bring up again. Bottle-baby "Vader".

I took this pic while approaching Meiji Jingu, aka Meiji Shrine, in Tokyo way back in 2003. It was foggy that day, but this pic struck me. This looks like a whispy horse shape. Did I catch a ghost?

Apparently I am bad at sleeping when I'm not completely wiped out. Have prescribed sleep meds now. What are the chances that I'll be able to wake up on time in the morning? I mean, I'm already bad at that too. I just hope it's not worse. Being human is so much harder than it should be.

Interesting clouds the other night. Wonder what this phenomenon is called.

Me: (has to explain something)
Also Me: (speech rapidly accelerates until I'm basically G1 Blurr)
The people I'm explaining to:

Happy Birthday to domsalvia.bsky.social! May so many more follow in happiness and health!

I have an unusual guest!
