In "problems very specific to this household," I've been referring to the cats as the Council of Eunuchs since reposting that cartoon a few days ago, but L keeps thinking they're my Council of Unix and is understandably confused.

omg a cake robogege???

Well. I finished watching Shine and now I need to go lie down forever. And probably hydrate. Goddamn, who is doing it like BOC.

painful part of migraine over at least for now, but now we are in the "sleepy and slow and very stupid" part of postdrome, why do bodies even work like this, this is stupid

hot married women with migraines in your area looking for someone to come over and perform a trepanation on them

Where is the cat? Who can say?

Really should have made a bingo card before embarking on the Criterion 70s thriller collection, so I could have checked off "naked fondue."

We're watching "My Bias Is Showing?!" and I'm enjoying so many things about it but particularly the sightlines they have to try to film every time they film eye contact between these two characters who are basically a hobbit and a megafauna

Being a good friend sometimes means testing the crepe cake before your friend arrives, to make sure it's good enough to serve. I'm helping.

Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in. #SaturdayPoem

I...have nothing to add here that wouldn't get me in trouble.

he is once again asking me to get my ass out of bed and provide breakfast

Trying to decide if the MVP of "Sneakers" is Mary McDonnell's haircut or the way Ben Kingsley says "Marty."

Okay, I know I rarely do het romance, but did anyone watch The Potato Lab? Because the concept of a workplace romance set in a potato research institute is cracking me up.

If you ever wanted to get into Hong Kong action cinema but didn’t know where to begin (or more realisticly didn’t have any way to see a lot of what were pretty rare films), Criterion Channel has got you covered in October. It’s like a HK essentials starter pack. A ridiculously stacked selection.

"Mother, please stop dancing to Earth Wind and Fire, you're embarrassing me. And yourself."

This may be the last porch bouquet of the season but if so, at least it's a really good one for kitty sniffs. Many interesting bits to sniff!

New race day photo grid crossing wires in my head with that CAPTCHA game I played yesterday, now I want a Yibo Captcha. Click on all the squares containing a nerd.

there is a noise

I enjoy that a search on "ballad sword wine vol 1 " turned up these two options like, yup, probably reading at least one of these, it's anyone's guess which one.

Repost with the first #ThaiBL you watched. Ah, Tale of 1000 Stars, you gave me so much. Although I still feel a little bad that I didn’t imprint on Khaotung until later so @thehoyden.bsky.social and I just kept calling him “the secondary omega” the entire time.

Thanks, past me who put "request refill" on my to do list with no other details. Do you have ANY IDEA how many prescriptions there are in this house.

Oh yeah, this - like, at least once a month one of us turns to the other and says "honestly, for entertainment per dollar spent this is the most economical streaming service we have" and I am not even being paid by Vic Michaelis, Co-President of Dropout, to say so. And we don't even watch the D&D.

I'm tapping out at level 34. I think L could do this level but that feels like cheating and also he's in the bathtub and I probably shouldn't barge in there and demand he do calculus.

hayao miyazaki refusing to go to the american premiere of howl until he found out bacall was gonna be there at which point he adjusted his tie & vanished in a cloud of dust headed for manhattan is possibly the most relatable thing dude has ever done

And if you need a rec list, it can be arranged. For the first two, anyway. I haven't actually ventured forth yet to see what Tencent is offering me outside of Shine.

Was it *necessary* to get the mooncakes where the box is a spinny light up bunny lantern? No. But consider: now I have a spinning light up bunny lantern as well as mooncakes.

Some Gigi paws to give you strength this morning.

Hm. I suddenly ran up hard against a wall of Prefer Not To, and with 40 minutes left in my workday maybe that's fine, actually. Maybe I should go walk around the block, think vaguely about a presentation I have to give next month, call it a brainstorming session, and be done.

New cat toy shipment includes spring onions and a radish. Apparently I was hungry when choosing my purchases.

He doesn't usually sit on the work sofa with me but he heard a plastic bag crinkling up here and he is on the case.

ooooh my mooncakes have shipped 👀 🥮🥮

There've been a couple of bops on the Devil Judge soundtrack so far so I looked it up to identify them for potential purchase. Looking forward to getting to the future tracks including *checks notes* "Human's Cruel Selfishness," "Citizen Participation in Criminal Trials" and "The Evils of Society."

Zipped through my various communication channels quickly and it was like three tabs in a row of people posting Wonho, different people, different chats, but everyone got whammied by the force field of that boy and his entire Deal.

The new issue of Ivy League English is out and, sadly, nowhere in this article on ice baths does it teach Chinese speakers my preferred term for them as used in Thai BL, "boy gazpacho."

Look, @theautobodyshop.bsky.social needs some funds to stock up on emergency contraceptives for the comrades, and I feel like there’s a solid chance someone in my pervert-tier friend group wants but does not yet possess this extremely special item, so. Get you some merch.

It occurs to me that L's trajectory of coming to terms with the floor robot has certain similarities to my stepdad and the childhood cat, which makes me think any day now I'm going to find Floorence and L watching sports together.

Considering watching The Way We Were* while I do data stuff (RIP Redford), so I took a quick peek to see if any of my services have it free. Got a sponsored ad telling me Crunchyroll has free movies similar to the one I'm searching for. Trying to imagine anime TWWW is now breaking my brain.

It would take a lot to distract me from this journalist AU Han just descended into without warning, but trying to figure out the peekaboo neck construction of his sweater is doing it.

It is good for my soul when the Baumgartner Restoration guy gets bitchy about other people's bad restoration work.

Pals, do we know a good program for this? I think it's almost their anniversary, help us give them the gift of retaining the DVD Experience.

Sasha is once again wandering the house with his plush neuron in his mouth, screaming. Wearing his necktie. An entire mood.

Good MORNING.

If I had a nickel for every show I've watched that features a very pointed art lecture about Judith Slaying Holofernes, I still couldn't buy a cup of coffee but honestly I'd have the start of a decent rec list.

Was talking with a friend about hockey preseason, walked into the kitchen to find L cleaning out the coffee maker in preparation for cooler weather hot coffee, my brain went "ah, it's coffee preseason." Happy coffee preseason!

Intense supervision of my laundry activities.

the funniest thing about this error message from my better self is i was trying to override my own minimal-sunday-screentime limits to tell a friend about the Lore about the omegaverse tv series author, like, i am TRULY the devil on my own shoulder right now

Embarking on the last book of Qian Qiu, so it's time to start thinking about what danmei I'm starting next. Someone pitch me your favorite danmei that I haven't read yet.

should gremlin have a gremlin costume for halloween y/y?
