So many birds hanging out by the bird feeder this morning. Tons of mourning doves for some reason. Many smaller birds and a few blue jays. And at least a couple squirrels. Fun times.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Apparently we had barking/howling in the back yard last night. Maybe close, maybe in the woods nearby. @ricomicbear.bsky.social was up during the night and heard them. Kind of sad I missed out. I might have joined in.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Stopped by Florence Griswold Museum to renew membership and was struck by these two "samplers" of needlework. One is unfinished, has pin holes, and blood stains. The other is amazingly well done. The unfinished struggle made me chuckle.

The Tardis hangs out at The Book Barn in Connecticut

The Robots of Death will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

Did a "Spin the wheel to see what kind of Pokemon you'd be" and I ended up with a Flying Fairy type that looks like a frog. Best choice possible, really. Like Kermit, with wings, and fairy powers. I mean, he might already have the powers given how he gets the other Muppets organized to do things.

Kind of pathetic.

Oh Hyacinth, I know exactly how you feel.

My husband watches a lot of anime, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and others. I'm not always a fan. I watch horror movies, which he's not fond of. Nothing that either of us absolutely hates. Well, apart from the movie Galaxina, which he wants to boot into the sun.

Holy cow. @ricomicbear.bsky.social Your bowling injury might have a cure!

The emergence of George, who wears the hat so the party will find him:

What I've Been Reading Lately: 1. Relics 2. The Folded Land 3. The Edge All by @timlebbon.bsky.social An urban fantasy series where mythical creatures still exist. They mostly hang out in the shadows, but there's big business in selling their body parts on the black market. #booksky 📚💙

Why are you gay? This album cover. Couldn't stop staring at John Travolta, even though thoughts running through my head said I should want to stare at Olivia Newton-John. I was 8.

vermontcountry.com/2025/12/31/n... North Bennington is lovely. Lived there for 2 years.

BWA HA HA HA!!!

Flu vaccine obtained. Suck it Kennedy! Wore mask to both CVS and Walmart. Don't want to risk getting sick after just recovering from Covid and with upcoming trip. Forgot how warm wearing a mask makes me, like a scarf indoors.

I've no interest in playing Elden Ring, but I do enjoy watching others play it along with all the modded versions where various bosses fight each other. Feel the same way about Alien Isolation, although in that case even the gameplay videos make me anxious.

From the dregs to the brim

Any time a character has a cup of coffee or tea and the cup is obviously empty. The actor goes to drink and there's nothing there.

Injured my shoulder trying to scoop especially frozen ice cream.

@ricomicbear.bsky.social Received an email about this. Looks like they're trying to go the Viking route with smaller cruises/excursions. www.adventuresbydisney.com

www.live5news.com/2026/01/05/c... @ricomicbear.bsky.social No, you cannot try one tonight.

If you're curious, the St. Paul's Cathedral uploaded a PDF of a 1990 version of the book. Not sure how different the recipes are. Mine is from a 1976 revised edition. www.stpaulscathedralvt.org/uploads/8/0/...

@gailsimone.bsky.social weren't you saying bad things about Dr. Pepper the other day? Now stealing it?!?

Going through books to sell and came across this one. Have to keep. Belonged to my mother's collection. Not sure she ever relied on it, and I haven't, but need to hold onto it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNF... This looks fun. Pretty familiar, but fun.

Wonder if this is prompted by lack of foreign travelers.

See a bridge, post a bridge. One of the bridges between Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter. @ricomicbear.bsky.social and I were probably coming back from eating beignets (again).
