RIP to my all time favorite TV dad, and blessed be Anthony Stewart Head.

My favorite stories are genre stories, which are full of orphans and kids who grow up to find out that dad is Darth Vader, or tragic waifs who know that Dad was a villain all along. The first time …

Just got some Akko Silent Penguin switches because my current keyboard is too loud for my office and holy crap, these things feel amazing. I might be in love.

Found my favorite skeleton in BG3 again. Today's a great day.
A screenshot from Baldur's Gate Three. It shows a dark room and our party (Lae'zel, a tiefling woman with green skin in heavy armor, Shadowheart, a dark-haired elven woman currently being blown about in a hurricane, and Astarion, a curly white-haired elf laying on the floor, and Karlach, a red large tiefling woman). Karlach is gleefully pointing at a skeleton currently sitting in the thinker pose.

Two very important things happening today. First up, and most importantly, it's Phineas' Gotcha Day!!! We've had this Very Good Boy for four years now. The "It's been ___ Days Since We Had to Call the Vet Since Phineas Ate Something He Shouldn't" sign is going strong. We made it to double digits!

I bought a pen with a floating cow in it as a souvenir from Spamalot, and it may be my favorite musical show souvenir yet.

You've got like 5 days to read ON THE EDGE if you wanna come hang out with my book club for the first episode of the Kissing Book podcast, y'all.
A promo shot of some text and a book cover. The text on torn pieces of paper reads KISSING BOOK Podcast and ON THE EDGE - Ilona Andrews. The book cover shows a woman in denim leaning against a truck with a shotgun, while a shirtless blond man looks on from a distant corner.

part of the selling point for biden was “you will not have to think about the president every hour of the day” and for all his many flaws that was true and this country said nah we want to go back to thinking about this one guy all the fucking time and I will never get over it

Working on the podcast is going swimmingly. (Shards of Honor is not the first episode)
A screenshot of a whatsapp conversation. 

me: I'm using Adobe Express and Photoshop to kind of mix and match.
Ves (sub-labeled Romance Noob): Witchcraft.
me: Nah, perspective warp tool
me: gonna use the WORST cover for Shards of Honor (lots of laughing emojis)
Ves: But we neeeeeed the 80s one for authenticity
me: BUT GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY PASSION
Ves: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
me: COLOR THEORY
Ves: COLOR THE SKY

You know what the world needs? More podcasts. Luckily, two friends and I have banded together ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD to solve that problem. Like the heroes we truly are. Tune in on May 7th to the inaugural episode of "This is a Kissing Book" wherever you get your podcasts.

About to read Shards of Honor for the podcast and oh my GOD the ebook cover is so bad.
A cover for Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold Shards of Honor showing stick figure puppets in blue and red. It resembles a bad self help book cover.

Worst thing about the revival is even tho I hate Baldwin enough to want it to fail, I have to hope it gets made. I lived through years of being unable to talk about any other show without hearing about how they unfairly canceled Firefly. I can't go through that again. I'm not strong enough.

Just got a comment on an old fic (think Violet for those in the know) saying that they love the story and it's only 3 weeks older than them.

In an effort to corrupt my friend, we started a podocast about romance novels. Hi, sorry I've been away. I don't have a good excuse. I've just had nothing to say. But I'm sick today and letting the cold meds speak for me. How's everybody been? Looks dire out there.

I mean, on the one hand I could have a productive New Year's Day. But on the other, I could focus on very important things. #BG3 #KpopDemonHunters

The issue with having switched all my prescriptions to Costco is that sometimes I now have to go to Costco on a Saturday. It's a very large and loud crowded space full of rules that I don't 100% know, so this will take quite a bit of psyching up to happen.

My favorite thing about old Muppets bts photos is seeing the beloved characters of my childhood in the midst of some silly jape, being held up by Henson and Oz, who are staring at a camera feed with the grim intensity of a hostage negotiator.
A black and white photo of Jim Henson and Frank Oz holding up the puppets from the "Mahnah Mahnah" song. They are both looking at something out of frame and they are not smiling.

I had to start telling my brother to STFU because he would start every conversation with something negative he saw online. He's switched from obsessively watching ragebait to hyperfixating on books in a genre I hate (but I don't care because I'd rather hear about it than Meidas Touch or whatever).

I've started making training videos for work and since nobody else will narrate, that task falls to me. Proving once again that my eleventh grade speech class from high school was extremely clutch. Had no idea that class would be so frickin' relevant my whole life.

Somehow the family chat topic turned to Animorphs tonight and I realized some things may never be okay. Uh, spoilers for a 20+ year-old book series, I guess? (Conversation brought on by my mom asking if they saved the world or not.)
Text chain:

Me: Maybe. It's ambiguous. They're all young adults in the final book.
Me: Except Rachel. Who died.

Mom: ???
Mom: That's lousy
Mom: Dad says she was his fave character why did they kill her off?

Me: Because my trauma was delicious to them.

Fun kind of circle: Originally had the idea for my Hostage Girl books while watching Lois in Superman Returns. Named a character Naomi Gunn after Gunn from Angel. Gunn was named for James Gunn. Who just directed my new favorite Superman movie. Ultimately it means nothing but I think it's neat.
