Went to see Weird Al this weekend with my brother. Puddles Pity Party opened the show. I'm really lucky to have siblings on the same wavelength after all these years.

Me and my brother posing for a selfie as we waited for Puddles to come out and start the concert.

I had butterscotch budino for dessert this week and it was delightful!

@paedric.bsky.social For a big enough salary I, too, am willing to be a dumb ass.

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom.

A bush full of white star jasmine is in bloom against a full backdrop of green leaves, filling the frame. This plant is outside my front door, so every time I exit or enter, I have a heady fragrance to greet me.

I am a slow crocheter, so I don't have a lot to show off. But I adapted a Princess Leia doll for my friend's baby shower, and it turned out pretty adorable. I even made buns in the back (Endor edition).

I'll give you a daisy a day, dear. I'll give you a daisy a day. I'll love you until the rivers run still, And the four winds we know blow away.

She doesn't enjoy having her picture taken, but she's very cute and I can't resist her raised ears.

A black and tan chiweenie rests with her body leaning on the armrest of a brown leather couch. Her right front paw is straight out and her left front paw is curled under. She is looking off frame to the left, with an expression that says "Must we, Mother?" Her ears are raised slightly, like she's hoping to get a better offer.

@paedric.bsky.social When I was cleaning up my work notes the other day, I came across one I had made during a convo of ours. I emailed the info to my brother, and he just sent me this pic. 🥰

A white tiled countertop with a jar of Lowensenf hot mustard and a package of uncured Bavarian bratwurst to its right. A recommendation from a friend, passed on to my brother, who digs this stuff.

Let me counterbalance that, then. I bought this print for my brother for Christmas. I love it! It's by Scott C. www.scottc.com/great-showdo...

A print of comic art by Scott C. Inigo Montoya with a sword in his right hand and his left hand inside his shirt to staunch the flow of blood from a stab wound. Facing him is Count Rugen with a sword in his right hand and his six-fingered left hand held up at shoulder height. The print has a white mat and a black frame and is about 4x4 inches square.

I don't really want to enter a year that will never have my dog in it. He was the best part of my life and it's so hard to move on.

A picture of a woman on the day she adopted her dog. He is an apricot colored miniature poodle. She is kneeling in a parking lot and he is standing on her legs. I don't know who was happier, but it was the best day ever.

I'm finally watching this banger. I normally would have seen it at least twice by now. Somehow the holiday got here faster than I was prepared for.

Someone had a very busy day and was quite tuckered out.

The face of a fluffy white dog with very drowsy eyes fills the bottom half of the frame. She had plenty of treats throughout the day, perhaps at the hand of the photographer. Who's to say?

It's time to start getting the holiday decor out. First up, a wreath and some snowmen.

A lighted green wreath with pine cones hangs from a brown front door. The last leaves of a potted plumeria poke into frame on the left.

Little green snowmen are projected onto the driveway and garage door. They are supposed to be green and red but the red filter is acting up so we only get little green guys this year. The shadow of a larger plumeria tree falls across the scene as well.

I had a rough day at work, and it made me really miss my two 'guys'--my husband and my dog. I am grateful for friends who stand in the gap, and I hope you, dear reader, have those kinds of friends too.

A less fuzzy version of my light brown miniature poodle. He is freshly shorn, posed on the groomer's table with Christmas holiday props around. He is smiling wide with large, soft brown eyes. This Christmas will be my first without him, and I am feeling his loss keenly.

Get yourself a doggy backpack while you're at it and you can have this set-up!

I am a woman with a certain set of skills. They are unfortunately all destructive.

A lamp sits with a forlorned-looking shade that is now askew due to me knocking it off the table and accidentally catching it with my knuckle. The lampshade and my knuckle have both seen better days.

This camera-shy girl sure has a cute face.

Caught a quick picture of my black and tan dachshund and Chihuahua mix staring straight at the camera with her little ears raised. She is a pisspot but I love her.

This boy gave me the best 13 years of my life.

I went to a concert with my sister tonight. We had a blast, but my photo skills leave a bit to be desired.

A masked woman attempts and largely fails to get a picture of the concert hall behind her to show how high the balcony seats were. instead, the picture is mostly full of people filing into the seats in the rows behind her.

An oldie but a goodie--the best boy I ever knew.

A small fluffy brown miniature poodle reclines on the armrest of a brown leather chair. He is relaxed and happy with an open mouth and a happy tongue hanging out. One back leg sticks out towards the viewer. He was the love of my life.

My coworker brought back a souvenir crystal pendant for me from her vacation. Not sure how concerned I should be...

A finger points to a light blue quartz-type crystal suspended from a black cord hanging as a necklace pendant.

The entire picture is pitch black except for the glowing crystal pendant shining light blue out of the dark.

I misspoke. Not "most" of us, but "more" of us. Unfortunately, we remain a deeply misogynistic and racist country.

We had Canada geese in the parking lot at work a while back (I'm in southern California).

A small flock of Canada geese stroll around the parking lot where I work, about eight visible from foreground to background. I know better than to interfere with murder birds so this picture is from a safe distance away.

Right! Because they're actually angels.

If you want to have your heart broken in the best possible way, I highly recommend "Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story" by Patrick McDonnell.

Cover image of the booked "Breaking the Chain:The Guard Dog Story." Image is a color comic of a small blonde girl named Doozy, kneeling on the ground and embracing a chained bulldog, called Guard Dog. The book covers their love story and his eventual rescue from his bonds.

Edward Tufte says Bezos got the no PP idea from him.

Screen capture of tweet from Edward Tufte. Text states "Jeff Bezos + his shadow colleague read on an airplane trip read my 2004 essay 'The Cognitive Style PowerPoint' where I said no more PP ever, and instead use my 4-pahe essay with sentences read at start meeting. A history of Amazon said my method gave them a tenfold advantage."

02/11/2011--I was apparently quite happy with the deal.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

When I was a kid the A&W was a car hop. They brought the food on a tray that hooked over your partially-rolled-down windows. The kids frosty mug was a miniature, like this one I bought from the last A&W near me. Good times.
