Polly proving all over again why she's the smartest and coziest kitten, snoozing in her nook. #cats #catsofbluesky #tuxedocat #polly #tripodcat
A tuxedo and tripod cat named Polly settled onto a blanket in a nook besides the HVAC vent being nice and cozy and warm. A tuxedo and tripod cat named Polly settled onto a blanket in a nook besides the HVAC vent being nice and cozy and warm. Now she's lying down and snoozing.

Those comparisons make perfect sense, but for me, I could not stop thinking about, of all things, Beastly. I mean, just look at the titular "Beast" lol.
A marketing photo of the two lead characters from the 2011 film Beastly, which was supposed to be a modern, edgier take on the Beauty and the Beast story. The titular "Beast" is front and center: a a ghostly-pale and shirtless bald man covered in scars, strange tattoos and embedded metal veins with the movie's title at the bottom of the image in large font.

Mash is annoyed that I spent part of my Sunday evening washing dishes. But he's determined to wait for me so I can receive his affectionate headbutts and his random attacks. That's love. #cats #catsofbluesky #ragdoll #mash #mashbangersly
A scruffy ragdoll cat named Mash with predominantly white fur plus black, brown, gray and tan, stands and impatiently waits with airplane ears on my kitchen floor.

It's finally getting seasonably chilly on this lovely #caturday and Mash has already retreated into the luxury nook we set up for him and his siblings. Now he's a toasty, happy boy. #cats #catsofbluesky #ragdoll #mash #mashbangersly
A scruffy ragdoll cat named Mash with long, predominantly white fur along with black, gray, brown and black lounges with his paws folded politely inside a nook between a dresser and the wall vent, enjoying the warm air. He's lying on a padded cushion beneath a folded up blanket.

Here's what I'm quietly working on at work because if I have to do another escrow setup I'm gonna lose my shit:
A spreadsheet in progress that I'm using to tabulate exactly how mindlessly pandering, propaganda-fueled and unoriginal modern pop country is on a song-by-song basis and as a musical genre, because I'm forced to listen to it all day long at my stupid job.

Me and Mash had hangout time last night while Mew streamed. It always starts off innocent and then Mash decides it's time to throw down and fight his father. #ragdoll #mashbangersly #cats #catsofbluesky

Polly is typically a quiet and demure lady, but when she wants your attention and screaming from two rooms away doesn't work, she tends to be more direct, such as climbing on top of my desk, which is something her pushy siblings don't even do. #cats #catsofbluesky #tuxedocat #tripodcat

"Oh, hey! I don't remember acquiring a version of The Waste Lands with illustrations! Maybe it's Mew's."

*Several dozen pages later*

"Wow, these illustrations are incredible. They made Jake a brunette for some reason but whatever. I wonder if they'll include a drawing of Blai- JESUS CHRIST!"
A color illustration of Blaine the Mono / Charlie the Choo-Choo Train in an expanded copy of Stephen King's The Waste Lands. The train is depicted with narrowed, almost puffy eyes and a leering and lecherous grin with drool slowing off his teeth, while his conductor has a crazed and glassy-eyed smile. The children in the train's boxcars look terrified or full of grief and sorrow. The bright colors and stereotypically cheery scene are thrown into terrifying contrast with the emotions of the characters depicted therein.

My wonderful partner @ghostlymew.bsky.social had a fun surprise for me in store when I got home from work because today is (apparently) national boyfriend day! I love her so much. She's the best.

Here's some old artwork of characters I came up with in high school and am now fleshing out in a story at 37. They don't look exactly like I envision them now, but it surprises me how little has changed. Dijinus Via'Porta is on the left. Syvus Via'Porta is on the right. #art #OC #design #writing
A Clip Studio Paint drawing of Dijinus Via'Porta, a 16-year-old vagrant with the ability to generate and manipulate a unique form of electricity he calls "Soul Electric". He's wearing a shredded black hoodie, stained blue jeans and stolen shoes with a vaguely red color (I'm kinda color blind, sorry). He's thin but muscly, has lank and shaggy black hair, and his hoodie's right sleeve is blown off and missing. He's generating his electricity with his raised left hand and staring at the bolts with a haggard, agitated expression. A Clip Studio Paint drawing of Syvus Via'Porta, a very young adult with the ability to generate and manipulate solar energy. Unlike his brother Dijinus, Syvus' solar energy is painful to project, and leaves him with extensive burns that he feels fully until his healing factor kicks in. He's wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a sun pattern on the collar and long, well-fitted pants, along with white sneakers with the same sun pattern on his collar. He has a flamboyance, wide-legged stance and is projecting the tiniest bit of sunlight from his palms. On his face is a confident smile, while his hair is a shaggy but controlled shade of off-white.

@jasozzgames.bsky.social Can I please just say... Bravo. I've been playing through CULTIC and opening every single bathroom stall, CERTAIN there is an enemy waiting for me therein. For so much of the game, I was wrong. SO MUCH. And then, just when I'm beginning to settle into my assumption..

Bravo.

A baked lasagna fresh out of the oven with ground turkey, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese along myriad spices and breadsticks on the side. Fantastic.
