I’d rather have my spleen carved out with a rusty fork.

Ma’am you can’t park there.

Brown tabby cat sits between a keyboard and the edge of the desk. She is laying in ‘long cat’ position with front paws tucked.

How am I supposed to work under these conditions??

Germany -> Louisiana -> CNY -> NC -> SC -> GA. But most of my life was in CNY, and the Syracuse area has a goofy accent/dialect.

One of my favorite marvel comics runs is the 2014-2015 Secret Avengers. It’s not perfect, but I keep returning to it as an example of all the things the MCU could never do. In this essay…

HAWKEYE: Who is running things now?
VLADIMIR: Some old white guy.
NICK FURY: Typical.
VLADIMIR: A bunch of them are trying to take control of SHIELD right now, actually. I estimate that we have less than 18 hours to safely retrieve Maria Hill and Jessica Drew before Maria Hill loses her job, Jessica Drew loses her life, and we all lose what you define as “existence,” although I could argue with —
COULSON: Is this the point where I ask what The Fury’s doing here?
VLADIMIR: it wants to retrieve its babies. We believe its babies are with Snapper. Therefore The Fury will help us free Maria Hill. Then it will…go free.
COULSON: Babies.
MODOK: Babies. I believe it had sex with whatever is in Tlön.
THE FURY: [alien language]
VLADIMIR: The Fury says it prefers the term “made love.”
HAWKEYE: Okay, our resident terrorist sex horror advisor — where are they?
MODOK: I don’t know.
HAWKEYE: What
COULSON: What
VLADIMIR: What
NICK FURY: What
THE FURY: [alien language]

Hate to give you a new project but figured I should let you know that this is what it looks like on mobile Brave

Found one of these little guys in my bathroom at 3am. They’re sure, but FAST, and gave me a heart attack while trying to pee. Got him back outside and sealing that window tomorrow. (Picture ripped from Reddit because I didn’t stop to get a photo after chasing it for 30 minutes.)

My cat must have overheard me tell my coworker that she’s been “an angel” since moving, because she’s spent the last two days being a pain in my ass.

Local bookstore haul. Was searching for TBHH and Parable (success!), but the double feature of The Babysitter Lives and Killer on the Road was a surprise. I love double-sided books, they’re a fun format. @stephengrahamjones.com

Book stack. Top to bottom: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler; The Babysitter Lives/Killer on the Road by Stephen Graham Jobes; The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones; trade paperback of Ms. Marvel: No Normal

Sent this to a friend who said “display it on a wobbly table” and now I’m VERY amused.

I’m not normally a “dill pickle flavor” guy (unless it’s actual pickles” but I can’t argue with this combo.

Some people have cats, I have a furry facilities manager who is very polite but only speaks in screams and Morse code.

That’s ok, I don’t need personal space.

Daily Duck update. She’s taken the move like a champ. I am just looking forward to my new mattress arriving so I can stop sleeping on this couch.

For obvious reasons I won’t be posting a picture of my new home but please know that it is an ADORABLE late 60s bungalow. Waiting on movers to unload truck and then Duck can explore.
