Uhhh so today I discovered that home photo printers exist and are inexpensive and print pretty amazing snapshots straight from my phone so guess what I did all evening

Fifteen 4x6 actual physical photos of my sweet dog Stella in various goofy and/or glamour shots 😭😭

Did you even go to a street market if you didn’t come home with stickers

Stickera of two very adorable lop-eared bunnies. One (named Oakley) is grey and nibbling grass with his nose high in the air, the other (named Paisley) is a calico brown with pink bows on its ears and drinking meds from a blunt syringe. The booth was called The Unlucky Bunny.

My favorite was this boxy yet sleek 1976 Lancia in metallic mocha paint

The brown Lancia between more modern red and blue Ferraris

The front grill of the Lancia, with a delicate filigree pattern, with bright green grass behind and a dramatic blue sky above

Well it’s definitely not summer anymore. Usually I’d be 100% thrilled, but I got zero kayaking in this summer so my delight is somewhat dimmed

Remembering Stella, the goofiest, sunniest, hungriest dog of all. She brought me so much laughter and ate so many treats. She passed away yesterday, only 5 weeks from the first sign of a particularly rare and aggressive cancer. I was so lucky to have her, and I will miss her so much.

For those curious, here is my source list.

Set a new personal deadlift record at the gym today (I lifted a baby giraffe!) so I can have a little ribeye again, as a treat

Steak sizzling in a cast iron pan with corn on the cob boiling in a pot behind it

Dinner, plated. Sun is pouring in the window to my left so the photo’s a wee bit over exposed, but please do not worry, the food still tastes amazing. Sliced steak and 2” corncobs piled on a blue and white china plate, with a small bowl of sliced peaches, and a glass of milk. (I crave milk when I eat beef, yes I know it’s weird.)

And I heard her mumble as she chowed down on dinner— Merry late June to all, and to all a good summer!

A homemade burger stacked tall with onion, tomato, and a glossy brioche bun, with a small dish of fresh shelled peas and a pink can of Hawaiian Sun’s pass-o-guava nectar. It’s a very beautiful still life if I say so myself.

I meant to take a pic of this beautiful burger after I had taken one strategic bite but I forgot. It was really good. I think I feel a little high?

Photo of the last bite of a burger on a blue and white plate. The plate is sopped in juices, the bun is squished and sliding off, there’s a random discarded coil of onion, and the meat is thick and mostly pink even though I swear Mom, I cooked it to 145°

My favorite month in Seattle is Juneuary. We have a couple hot days in May, I panic, then winter says don’t worry honey I won’t be far away

Photo of a vintage poster (on my wall) advertising an art show at the Galerie d’art de la place Beauvau in Paris. It shows a moody, monochrome painting of rain sheeting down on a nighttime street full of umbrellas and people hunched beneath trying to scurry through the storm. There’s a sense of movement and strong wind and the kind of steady rain that drowns out all other sound. The art is surrounded by a blue border. The artist is Mick Micheyl, someone I haven’t been able to find any info about, sadly.

Don’t mind me I’ll just be sitting on the couch nibbling fresh peas out of their pods and cackling like a happy weirdo

I sold a chair on craigslist and when the buyer arrived, not only did she have exact cash, but she brought me this sprig of daphne from her yard. It smells heavenly. It’s maybe a little sad how delighted I was to get flowers from a stranger, but screw it I’m gonna keep being pure thrilled about it

A large sprig of Daphne (a shrub) with lots of pointed oval leaves and several clusters of small pink flowers. It’s in a clear glass vase on a purple floral tablecloth. There’s a blue and white sugar bowl in the background.

I got my new Enterprise D stickers in the mail today from Lego! cc: @trekcore.com For those who didn’t hear about it, the new (wildly expensive) Enterprise Lego set was shipped with a dedication plaque sticker with a typo. Instead of saying “boldly go” it said “boldy go” 😂

Close up photo of a sheet of stickers. The center one is a gold rectangle meant to be the face of the Enterprise’s dedication plaque. It says, “U.S.S. ENTERPRISE GALAXY CLASS STARFLEET REGISTRY NCC-1701-D
"...to boldly go where no one has gone before."” There are other, grey, nondescript stickers partially seen, along with the edges of a bright green houseplant.
