This was Duke. He's unfortunately long gone, but he was a good dog. He was the first dog I got as an adult, but really he was my then girlfriend's, now wife's dog. Still, hopefully this clip shows that he loved me as well, at least when she wasn't around.

There were a lot of good things that happened, but a lot of things I wouldn't mind having have skipped.

Nothing to add here.

Now it's a genre.

I'm not really sure why.

Yesterday I hurt myself sufficiently that I wasn't really able to leave my bed. As such, I did three things: work, sleep and read. I did technically eat, but I couldn't sit up long enough to finish my meal. I did not shower, sadly.

Anyway, because that's not the first time this has happened, I keep a cache of books in my bed to read when I'm immobilized. Most recently it was these two. The one on the right is the one I started last night and the one on the left is the sequel.

Out of the corner of my eye, I keep thinking they're the same book. They're both from 2019, so it's not impossible AI was involved, but it's not terribly likely.

edit: Visuals aside, it's a pretty good series. The books pictured are numbers eleven and twelve and I like the characters enough to have made it this far into the series.

But there's something about them I find distracting.

I didn't think my cats would care, but since my dog died, Maze has been ... Aggressively affectionate. To the point that I need to shoo her away if I need any alone time. She wasn't this loving any time over her past fifteen years or so of life and didn't seem like she cared about the dog, but she's been completely transformed since then.

I mean, just look at it.

edit: For anyone wondering, it's from the first few seconds of HARDY - Sold Out.

They almost blend together.
