The package with my sister-in-law who is coming from Houston to have Christmas in New Orleans’s present has been sent out from Orlando…and skipped straight over New Orleans to a processing facility iiiiiiiiiiin Houston. I am going to scream.

he is so valid if I were sandwiched between hobi and joon eating snacks that is the exact face I would make

Caught the beginning of the OT7 live last night and actually fell asleep to it and I’m not kidding when I say I slept like a baby.

my booooooooys ❤️

I have had my last day of work until the 29th, I have done MOST of my shopping but not all my baking, I have a hat to finish knitting, I have eaten a gummy, I’m either going to put on some anime or a depressing crime show it’s a party over here.

Local Panera has coloring sheets out and it took me seeing this one colored in to realize it’s a reindeer with a big shiny nose and not a reindeer going AAAAAAAAA

Hey folks, I am doing this late in the game, but I DO have holiday cards to send, so DM me your address if you would like one!

In other news, I got halfway through the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen and then started watching the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen over again from the beginning as if that would reboot it into a different less terrible* second season of Jujutsu Kaisen.

So we are probably not going to be able to have a service for Grandpa/take him to the cemetery until sometime in January, which, yk, makes sense!

Just got word that my grandpa passed away last night. He turned 98 in October and had been in decline for a while, and he died at home with my aunt and cousin there. He was my last living grandparent. ❤️

*deep breath followed by a very long scream*

tumblr destiel I love you meme after which we all mutually agree to retire tumblr destiel I love you meme because it will have reached its natural apex and can only go downhill from there

Okay, yes. Yes, I did go to a local art market with the goal of buying gifts for other people and emerge with only something for me, but, hear me out:

Hybe listen to me it's not too late to bring this out for a solo stage in '26.👏 LET HOBI HAVE A BED CAR 👏

I need whoever is writing the NYT crossword these days to fucking get over their obsession with the fact that Apple first released the ipad in 2010.

the face of a man who knows exactly what him posting again is gonna do to the fandom

Teacher Min 😭😭😭

I have done YARDWORK. I have probably not taken my agéd back into consideration as much as I should have. My backyard is absolutely CARPETED with weeds and I need to figure out a game plan for that. Anyway look at this snail I found.

The ACLU is holding an anti-ICE postcard writing night at the bar two blocks from my apartment, which is also a bar that has nightly $5 cocktail specials and tonight some of the proceeds from those are also going to ACLU.

At my parents’ to decorate their tree with the Georgia-Alabama game in the background and as someone with no dog in the fight and only a passing knowledge of college football I must say this game’s color palette sucks the red and crimson do not work together at ALL.

Made a vet appointment for Monday and his appetite improved overnight, sir you are not beating the drama king allegations (I kid, obvs we are still going to the vet, but seeing him actually ask for more food did my heart good nonetheless ❤️)

holy shit??? (this is Cocona, an idol I did not know of previously but am very glad I know about now. this is HUGE. good for them.

While I wrestle with the question of how to handle my cat's health in the long term, in the meantime the surest way to get him to eat is a) put his food on a plate instead of in a bowl (I know whisker fatigue can be a thing, never seemed to bother him before but maybe it is now?)

Something that’s been going on for a minute but I have not talked about on here before: my cat might be nearing the end of his life and I’m not sure what the best course of action is and also hey this fucking sucks.

yeah okay this checks out

We all have to make sacrifices sometimes, like when I couldn’t find the big google eyes to make this stick horse sample craft so I ripped one off of the shoebox dragon who lives on my office floor. DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT I’LL PUT IT BACK.

I’M NOT EXAGGERATING HE PUTS US IN HIS MOUTH WE ARE CHEWING GUM TO HIM

Elle Korea why did you make a video where Hobi puts us in his mouth why would you do that to me I AM NOT YOUR STRONGEST SOLDIER.

Here we see a Hobi in his natural habitat. 💜

Not sure why the makeup artist for this went with "very pale but flushed across the cheekbones and nose as if fevered or sunburned" across the board for this one but I will allow it because they all look very kissable.

“I’m not angry at YOUR backseat driving, it’s helpful.” “He’s angry because I’M coming in trying to backseat drive when you already backseat drove.” *pause* “I’m third-row driving.”

You have to love your family* because they are the people who understand when you talk about interring your grandmother’s ashes at the cemetery like it’s an errand you have to run before you can go have fun. *I mean, *I* have to love my family, your mileage may vary

good morning it is 11:31 local time and I am fixing my first drink as my family argues about the proper order of operations for making gravy. ✨THANKSGIVING✨

I habitually do not work the day before Thanksgiving but I did today because of taking time off for Ren Faire and having shit I needed to get done. Horrible. Never again. I did however get all the yearly required trainings that have been looming over me all month done.

All of this. It's not just what he's doing but that he does it with such effortless skill and humor and insane charisma. I think the first time I saw this might actually be the moment I knew I really truly loved Kim Seokjin.

My job has shifted away from doing shelf displays/signage, but any teen space I ever have display control over in the future will have one of these in it. I've also seen bookmarks like this, which is also great, but not necessarily something a teen with restrictive parents could keep on them.

Let me sing you the song of my people: I was gone for twooooo business daaaaaays why are there so many eeeeeemails

PROOF OF LIFE also proof of hair long enough to pull back.

Ren Faire camping weekend very good but you know what’s also very good? Showers and beds that are not air mattresses.

The hat in all its glory please ignore the messy/hastily finished bits.

One of the Houston friends we are camping with has a playlist going and on this playlist is a live rendition of Barrett’s Privateers (maybe Stan Rogers maybe someone else? I am very tired and a smidge high so idk.)

This is absolutely not even a little bit news, but godDAMN kpop as a whole is just DIABOLICALLY good at coming up with earworms. I have had four earworms from different groups jockeying for position in my head all damn day.

Achievement unlocked: traveled from New Orleans to Houston without any disasters being involved. (Last time I came here was the mom with cancer-dead cat-flight delayed six hours trifecta and the time before that was when my car A/C broke and also the weekend before the 2024 presidential election.)

Little Louisiana-to-Texas road trip things: realizing I forgot something but it’s something I can probably get at Buccee’s and being psyched because now I have an excuse to stop at Buccee’s. (Spoiler: I was, in fact, probably going to stop at Buccee’s anyway.)

Heading to Houston and then Ren Faire! Weather forecast for the weekend is still a little high for my liking but I’ve been watching it like a hawk and manifesting cooler temps and it HAS gone down a bit, you’re welcome, Texas.

letterboxd.com/film/angels-... Went to see this after finding out yesterday that it had a 40th anniversary restoration in theaters for like two days. Very beautiful, very strange, very thought-provoking, would probably have been better watched high.

My stance on this remains a solid "hmmmmm we'll see" but I WILL say I like the look of these costumes. Zelda's has triangle patterns and is also visibly better-made than Link's, which is a more homespun-looking fabric with lots of visible stitching.

look okay the early-mid 2020s have had…a few challenges. Not really a banger of a half-decade in many regards. On the other hand it means we all get to be alive and on Earth at the same time as Xlov. youtu.be/qana0WLwAFg?...

youtu.be/68w13IxMqNw?... Ateez did a medley in pairs and Sansang got paired up for Bouncy? BOUNCY WITH YEOSANG CENTER??

Mushroom hat aka do I have the patience to drape and pin the fabric properly before I start sewing aka whoops bought the hat in summer and now ren faire is weekend after next.
