Same. The flatulence is significant despite how small she is…

In DC for a research trip, and was lucky enough to catch some of the cherry blossom season. It was a gorgeous day to stroll for (many) miles, but back to the musty smell of dead people’s mail tomorrow!

Arrested Development scene with Lindsay Bluth Funke and Tobias Funke:
Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people?
Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might but…
Tobias: but it might work for us.

The Kansas sky is a vibrant sight to behold tonight. The beauty left me calmed in a way I can’t fully describe.

Bright red coloring the dark sky with a big ass tree and someone’s lit-up mansion-y like old white brick house

Pink turning into red rising out of the trees in the night sky

The night sky with bright green fading into red

The night sky with a bright green reverse Nike swoosh amid red and pink

Agreed. There’s a meme for that

Tweet saying, “‘My type’ is the entire cast of The Mummy (1999)” with pictures of (clockwise) Patricia Velasquez as Anck Su Namun, Oded Fehr as Ardeth, Brendan Fraser as Rick, and Rachel Weisz as Evelyn

Since it’s National Dog Day, I might as well post a pic of Marvel. Her superior cuddling made being sick this last week semi-tolerable. She’s an expert napper too, contributing to surprise naps more than once in recent days

I just started this. It’s a bit silly and fun, providing much-needed levity!

The Misadventures of Myndil Plodostirr. In which a beloved missionary encounters heathers, werewolves, murder outs faeries, and people who generally dislike him, and he tries to tell everybody about god, only the person, whom Myndil thinks is god is not really god, and the abbot does not really like yonC and he accidentally causes the Great War… by Michelle Franklin

Merry Christmas from this cuddly bunch!

Today my little pup Marvel got to go on the last walk with her bestie before they move. These two goofballs had a great walk and enjoyed their last afternoon hanging out!

Got the chance to give a tour of the WWI Museum again today, and luckily my group managed to head to the top of the tower before it got too hot. Pretty cool view of downtown Kansas City! This is one of the reasons the museum is my favorite place in KC!
