I’m sorry, what was that?

Took my dogs, Veronica and Chloe, to see my Dad’s dog Annie, and to get my Dad to the store. They always love a car ride and seeing other animals. My dad also has four cats but they disappear when dogs start barking.

I have four cats as well and they are all doing well. Troy Barnes keeps attacking Miles Morales for the top spot on the new cat tower. Maryjane wins it because she is the princess of the house, and Abed Nadir continues to struggle to get Veronica to understand how much he loves her.

Our tortoise Ivan just got a head of lettuce and when he started chowing down, Chloe was reminded that he exists and watched intently.

All in all, no problems. Everyone here remains happy, which helps me in turn to not fall into that pit of despair.

For example, the other morning I got to sleep in a couple of hours and all four cats came to snuggle with me independently of each other during that time.

Yeah, I am waiting to watch at home.

Nolan knows what he is doing but always trends loud, and I am already hearing impaired. I choose to miss out on the big screen spectacle this time.

There’s no such thing as a small part. He took that to heart and his career has taken off!

God damn. I gotta follow up on that. With enough finangling I might get appointed Ambassador.

And it’s a shame, because I feel like we have missed out on what it is like to be a person in the MCU.

They could have shown us life after the snap but before it was undone. Not anchored in a superhero show but in everyday life.

Every project that seemed it might touch on that has been axed before it could shine.

We could’ve used multiple seasons of Cap and the Winter Soldier, more WonderMan, or even a followup to WandaVision. Show the damned aftermath! It doesn’t need to tie into a future project to satisfy a craving.

I loved it, and was under the impression that it had good views.

I’ve heard almost no negative buzz about it as well, so this is kind of perplexing to me.

Also, I love me some Joey Pants.

If you have seen The Dark Knight, you might remember the scene. Harvey is confronting him after Rachel was taken and Batman intervenes.

David Dastmalchain is the Joker goon who panics and insists he knows nothing. Just in that one little moment he impressed me.

David Dastmalchain. He was an extra for many years before his breakout small role in Nolan’s second Batman movie as one of Joker’s goons.

I even remember pausing the scene (because he is so good) on one viewing to look him up and saw it was his first role listed on IMDB. (He has since been credited for a few tiny roles prior.)

Now he’s in a ton of movies and has Grave Conversations on YouTube where celebrities are interviewed in caskets.

I think the more logical conclusion is that passports are inadequate.

I also agree that borders need to be abolished but that is a far harder sell for most people.

Now that we have the internet and biometric identifiers, the document should no longer matter.

You could always see if a local group home company would appreciate the assistance.

I used to go to a food shelf like program (Ruby’s Pantry in Minnesota) and bring the excess stuff I couldn’t eat to a group home as a donation.

Upvoting you because I agree, it is obvious… but to me, only in retrospect.

The unicorn is Illimita Whitedove, and he is kind of a surfer/stoner dude.

The nightclub is gonna be great fun, as is the patron. He is a gregarious, over the top host who is not at all what he appears to be.

Edit: Illimita showed up! We filled him in on the situation and he said “Whoa. That’s heavy.”

Family D&D game, 1pm-3pm.

We are attempting to recruit the former assistant to our big bad who is attempting to take over the Feywild, leading the Seelie and Unseelie courts to unite against the threat.

It just so happens that we have killed him before but the bastard had a clone.

The assistant is a kobold who has fallen out of his favor. We have scryed on him several times in the past and even healed a burn through the crying spell. We are using a unicorn ally (who is a result of the wild magic sorcerer accidentally summoning a unicorn three times) to convince him we are not evil.

Then 6pm-9pm I run a session for friends. They are in a SCP-themed aberration/ooze dungeon and are almost done, but they have not yet discovered that they are locked in by guards who are waiting for reinforcements. Then they will head further in the tunnels until they reach The Crypt, which is actually a nightclub run by someone who wants to be their patron.

Make sure you watch the subtitled version and not the dubbed one.

Or arthouse horror.

Or Rube Goldberg machines.

I love that weird damn movie.

Also see City of the Lost Children by the same director. (and some of the same actors)

This misses the point; if we cannot alter the past or see the future, we must recognize that the now is what we can influence.

Yea, but I did set the fire, so…

My first thought when I see someone with a ton of tattoos is “Fuck that looks terrible/painful/expensive.”

It’s only after that I try to appreciate them as a personal choice and artistic thing.

That said, I do want one tattoo, from the show Fringe, episode White Tulip. Just haven’t made it a priority at all.

Spiritualists conducting scam seances in 1850s Boston, the Fox sisters. Their scam was done by “knocking noises” that were generated by the sisters cracking joints or even just tapping on the table or floor.

The circles they traveled in included Quakers, suffragettes, high society, and financiers. (Some of their early seances centered on stock market predictions, and made them a good deal of money.)

I just love that intersection of societies coming together to be scammed by some pretty bright women, in a really interesting time in our national history. Strict religious beliefs in a marriage with new age free thought.

I have kind of wanted to write a book centered on that time but never found a good hook.

My grandmother was an eventual product of that generation in Boston. Very equal rights for women while in a weird religious sect, Christian Science, founded by feminist Mary Baker Eddy.
