Watching you guys watch #ACodyChristmas without actually watching it myself is the best decision I've made all day.🙃

TikTok will now be owned by the Ellisons, Jared Kushner's firm, and Abu Dhabi's state investment fund.

The front page of today's (weekly) paper made me feel better about my BNL pics. It wasn't just me, the lighting really was just that challenging.

I used to have a corporate job that involved a monthly meeting with the VP of Finance. If I had said something like this I suspect I would have been immediately and permanently escorted out of the building.

It's been entirely too long since I've taken any concert pictures, so I'd forgotten how crazy challenging the lighting could be when dealing with spotlights, footlights, and lasers outdoors in the dark. I think this is about the best I managed to get.

I really needed this today. Weather cooperated (a break in the rain and temp stayed above freezing), BNL and crowd had fun. Will maybe post some pics tomorrow.

My first Christmas tree since I can even remember. (I dont have space or any need for a full sized tree.) Some years I've put lights and lightweight ornaments on my umbrella tree, but it hated that, so my dad made me this one.

Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar: The Costanza Marmot #wildlife

In my years of being music industry adjacent one of the acts I always wanted to see but somehow never did was Barenaked Ladies. They're playing here Monday night on the CP Holiday Train! Forecast is freezing rain. A true test of my layering abilities.

Crows sometimes land at my feet as I wait to cross the street, but this morning is the first time the raven has done that.

Fun fact: my city doesn't have a McDonalds.

Every time I make this soup, I just have to laugh at how disgusting it looks. It's good, I swear!

The weather is weathering today. Please excuse the suckitude of my phone's camera, I didn't have the good one with me.

It's 2025 and today is the first day of my life that I've had a cell phone data plan. TBH I'm a little annoyed about it, too. I finally caved when they raised the cost of my 'voice only, absolutely zero data whatsoever' plan to within a few dollars of the unlimited data plan.

I went for a bit of a wander earlier this week.

I can only imagine how my American-born grandparents would have reacted to seeing today's photos of the White House.

Oh goody, a fresh new reason to worry for the safety of everyone in British Columbia, the Columbia River basin, and Columbia University.

I went out on the lake this morning to take pictures of fall foliage, but there really wasn't any. The trees are almost all still green. I did see three Pacific Loons and two bald eagles though, so there's that.

Last night I realized there is the same amount of time between the premiere of Beverly Hills 90210 and today as there was between the premiere of Beverly Hills 90210 and 1955, and my brain melted a little bit.

I've spent the last two days racing to deconstruct my garden and get everything cleaned up before the water gets shut off. Today 'my' raven sat and watched for a while and we had a nice long chat. Unfortunately no pics as I was elbows-deep in dirt at the time.

Whatever. I'm just glad he's eating (original literal meaning). 🤷‍♀️ #bb27

I spoke to Big Brother legend Eric Stein about his journey from America's Player to Mastermind, including how he feels about his game 18 years later, his thoughts on twists today, who he still talks to, whether he would play again, and more. #bb27 Enjoy! youtu.be/u6KKY1MDuXc

I'm going to give the casuals some grace. It's not their fault they think Ashley did nothing. Production went out of their way this season to diminish Ashley as a player, and basically crafted a whole season that did not align to its finale. Welcome to my TED Talk. #BB27 thread to follow...

This is the part of #bb27 where I remind myself I'm grateful to the cast for the entertainment, that there's no point holding grudges over things for which they forgive one another, that their real lives are none of my business unless they want them to be, and to wish them all well. 💐

my finale recap, obits, and tallies await you at hamsterwatch.com THANK YOU to my readers, supporters via Ko-fi or Patreon, and all who sent me goofs & funnies THANK YOU @dolffica.bsky.social @bigbrotherjunkie.bsky.social @liquid8d.bsky.social, updaters, clippers, and talented creators! #bb27

Morgan, the seasoned gamer, takes her so-close loss with grace. Kudos to her on a great game. She gamer squirreled harder than any other gamer squirrel this season and she kept the feeds cookin, even in the middle of the night, which I appreciated. Legend status. #BB27

RHAP IS ON!!! #bb27

For #BB28 players, the moral of this story is, don't put yourself into alliance jail. You're not likely to win. #BB27

I loved being glued to the feeds until the last moment, unlike many recent seasons, but damn does it make it that much harder to go cold turkey when the finale credits roll. #bb27

Well, the top 3 were right, anyway. *dramatic sigh* #bb27

He got the one vote he really wanted, so he's got that going for him, I guess. #bb27

#BB27 Ashley has won BB27!

*everything suddenly clicks into place* Ohhhh, it's 'shut up about hating the stupid twist, she wasn't the first to fall victim to one and she won't be the last'. I firmly believe that segment was solely due to the backlash. (disregard my earlier winter BBAS theory) #bb27

I mean...this HAS to be a clue to a winter Allstars season to run against the Olympics, right? #bb27

Well, at least there was a perfectly good reason the F2 had to condense their entire games into less than a minute. 🤨 #bb27

cringe cringe cringe #bb27

This is the 'let us be clear, Morgan would've won' segment. #bb27

'my best friend Lauren' OOF! #bb27

"It's not just about winning competitions, it's about being safe when you don't win competitions." SO SAY WE ALL! #bb27

Why do I feel like Ashley's first line (mission) made Morgan think Vince spilled Morgan's speech to Ashley? #bb27

This could actually go 7-0. #bb27

Bzzzt, wrong answer, Vince. #bb27

Yeah, I think Ashley just won #bb27
