Trying to work from home, but Dumbcat insists on jumping onto my lap and helping.

Real1 (fka Enzo Amore) coming out to teach the crowd the correct spelling of "sawft".

🎵"Abadon's gonna kill you"🎵

Abadon spitting their zombie mist into the air and freaking out the kids 🤣 The Zombae. And the reason this Outta Control Wrestling show was an insta-buy for me.

The Good Brothers have arrived in Black Rock

Theory: AEW is not a wrestling company. It's actually recruiting/training grounds for Tony's army of evil bald men.

Dumbcat loves to do a running jumping somersault tackle at people's feet. Here's my POV as I'm in the kitchen trying to cook lunch. And this is after she just spent several minutes on my lap at the computer getting neck scritches. Such betrayal!!!

Puzzle done! And mounted behind the plexiglass backsplash behind the stove.

Merry Christmas, to everybody except for MJF! 🎅

Leaked screenshot of the new DOJ-approved cut of Home Alone 2

Casualty #1 of Dumbcat's first Christmas. 🎅💀

Looks like Dumbcat has found a new favorite hiding spot. (Yes, I'm well aware of the danger this could pose if she snuck in there without anyone noticing. I've briefed the kids on always checking before closing the lid and turning the machine on.)

My favorite computer system messages are the ones that seem vaguely dystopian, futuristic, and threatening. 🤖

I just came to a horrible realization. With Dungeon Crawler Carl getting a graphic novel, a webcomic, a tabletop game, and eventually a TV show... it's probably just a matter of time before Carl and gang are added to Fortnite.

Lovely seeing the Northern Lights tonight in northeast Arkansas

Trying to brush up on some Dungeon Crawl Classics rules, and CAT decides to join in.🐱🧙‍♂️

Old and busted: "Throw all the billionaires into an active volcano." New hotness: "Let's toss Elon into a space capsule, and launch it directly into the Sun!"

I have an old Nintendo lunchbox on my shelf. Dumbcat has decided to turn it into another hiding spot. (Yes it's stained from years of use by the previous owner. It's not dirty, it's "well-loved")

Note to future self: When your employer is hosting a chili cook-off on Halloween, don't wear a mask that makes it difficult to eat.

In an alternate universe, Orange Cassidy and PAC would make a great tag team.

Finishing last night's episode of AEW Dynamite. Nice to see Jurassic Express together again, but.... Is Jack Perry still a heel? He gets to be evil *AND* have a pet dinosaur‽ #LifeGoals

Happy Banned Books Week! Might I suggest "Angels Before Man"? It's a queer retelling of the fall of Lucifer, with creative inspiration from Christian mythology. A great book for those who want their smut to be a little more blasphemous. It's on Hoopla for free, both the eBook and audiobook.

Reinstalled Rune Factory 4. You know it's a nice cozy game when "Sleeping" is one of your trainable skills 🥱

"It's kind of annoying when wrestlers bring legit deadly weapons into a match, and I as the viewer know that it's not going to ACTUALLY get used." (enter Darby with a flamethrower aimed at Mox) "NEVERMIND! These two are insane enough that I have no idea what they're gonna do."

You can take my Tylenol when you can pry it from my cold, dead, hyper-fixated, poor impulse-controlled, socially awkward hands!

Dumbcat likes to "hide" under the foot stool with her toys.

I think Cat is jealous of our ability to use opposable thumbs to play video games.

A great day of playing X-Crawl! Sadly, our poor cleric Jessica the Second Jr was crushed in half by a giant Dire-Crab. But I hope in her dying moments, she found comfort knowing that the rest of her team made a lot of money. Including her replacement, Jessica the Second Jr Jr! 🦀💀 🤷‍♂️💰

Cat while walking past her cat-tree: *meh* Cat when she sees a random piece of lint: "OMG BEST THING EVER DON'T COME NEAR ME IT'S MINE!!!!!"

I take back every nice thing I've said about this cat. She fell asleep during wrestling! Does she have no appreciation for the finer arts‽

Reinstalling Stardew Valley It's time to seduce villagers and chew bubble gum! And I've got plenty of bubblegum.

Cat has a spot on her neck she won't stop scratching. So Abby had to get her a pillow to go around her neck, like the cones the vets give. Doesn't she look so stupid! 🥹

Cat has discovered plastic bags! (Once she finally lost interest, we took the bag away and closed up the closet where we keep them. Letting her play with them unsupervised might be dangerous?)

That strange and rare moment when your kid overhears you listening to music, and he not only *doesn't hate* it.... But he LIKES it enough to add it to his own playlist! Parenting win? 🤷‍♂️

Against my better judgement, I recently let the kids get a cat. We are now a cat family. 🙃🐈

Helped Heather pick out her first set of dice at Game Fest. Thanks to Roll Your Stats for having a great selection, and for patiently waiting for us to find the perfect shades of smokey pink and purple.

Photo dump from Game Fest. Already looking forward to next year!

Just made it home from another fantastic weekend with Heather at NEA Game Fest. Cats were booped. 🐱 Clocktowers were bloodied. 😈 Dungeons were classically crawled. 🗡️ Natural 1s were rolled... many of them. 💀 And money was raised for a fantastic group in support of the library. 🥳📚

When there's a boardgame convention happening across town while you're stuck at work. 💻😒 🎲

New Rimworld DLC just dropped! You know what that means.... Time to build a new, happy colony in which nothing bad happens and nobody commits any war-crimes!

Nice to see Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi in the ring together again 💛👬 (too bad they just barely missed Pride Month)

Finished the puzzle wall in my kitchen. All the food puzzles are now hanging together happily 🤤 I tried to organize the puzzles to look like bigger puzzle pieces that fit together. But they ended up looking like Tetris blocks. Which I'm also okay with! 😅

Good food, good drink, and great company. Another fun afternoon at Juniper Tree Meadery with Heather, and brought home a bottle to enjoy later.🍻

Belated birthday cake Heather Monnig made for me this past weekend 🥰 (We had the "1" and "8" candles from Abby's party. Heather thought it would be funny to reuse them.)

I love that there are so many Pride flags for the forms of love and gender. But I confess some confusion. Because each time I see colored horizontal stripes during June, I assume it's for a LGBT-related subgroup. "Oh, that's the... demisexual polyromantic agender flag?" "No, that's Lithuania."

Happy birthday to me 🥳🎶

Remember those Windows disk defrag visualizations, you could literally watch your computer rearrange blocks of memory? You remember how weirdly satisfying that was to watch? If you answered yes, then you're probably ALSO the type of person who spent too much time playing Cookie Clicker as an adult.
