Ran an RPG session tonight that made me feel physically ill because of what it was setting up, and that's a new one for me. But it was also fun, I guess?

Last night before bed, I called Archie into my room...and then checked on him first thing this morning. Apparently, this is gonna take a while for me to fully accept.

My 16 year old Papillon Archie passed suddenly tonight. I got 13 more years with him than I was supposed to, and they were good years. I will miss him absurdly, as he has been my constant companion for the last two years since we moved to our new home, following me room to room. Dogs are the best.

I'm grateful we had Tim Curry and Dolly Parton as long as we did. Also really bummed. Life goes on and there's art to make and people to try to be good to. This is how we pay tribute.

I am so sad and angry about the state of my country, and how it's been damaged by American media and American policies, that I am finding myself unable to sleep adequately, so instead I'm sleeping too much. I really hope a miracle happens in November, for all the good it would do, I guess.

And today we went to a busy off leash boat dock. (He was not off leash) People and vehicles and doggos everywhere. Stayed for 2 hours. After the first hour, the muzzle came off. I'm so proud of my boy right now. Now to provide more challenges at home and see how it goes.

For context, this is a doggo that we couldn't really take out very often because he was SO scared of people and other dogs that he'd react with wild barking and lunging trying to be super scary...a successful strategy for a GSD. This is a fucking miracle, and I'm so grateful to our trainers.

Went for a walk with the boy. Not a single correction was required. We practiced heel, and sit, and recall. He sat on a bench with me, and we watched people walk by, and go by on bikes, and he leaned into me for a snuggle. It was like a guy and his dog having a fun walk, and not like training.

My doggo is home, and I took him for a walk in a relatively busy park on a loose lead with no muzzle. He was an angel. I love this for him so much.

I won an award at Sundance years ago and Sam Neill, whom I did not know, tweeted to me “we’re all so proud of you, sweetheart”. I can’t even express what that meant to me. That our most beloved national treasure, a man I worshipped, would take the time to write to me!

With all the praise for Sam Neill's work going around in the wake of his passing I wanted to throw in In the Mouth of Madness which is not only my favorite John Carpenter movie but the best Lovecraftian horror movie ever made IMO. It's a great film anchored by his flawless performance.

"SAM NEILL
- If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it?
- It's got to be big! No slipping something into someone's drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast..."

Why Sam Neill when there are so many better candidates for non existence? He was a genuinely decent guy, and one of my favorites. Dammit.
