According to one of my brothers, this theme is where Santa got his colors.

My brother, who has a Ph.D. in pure mathematics, says that all a doctorate means is that you've learned to talk a lot.

I don't and never will have one, so this is the only relevant information I have.

I didn't begrudge her the right to be warm, but it did make the cups look a lot less pretty. The ones I had were shaped differently, but basically this:

I got them at a thrift shop, so no clue what brand they were. I think I technically still have them somewhere but have only used them once any time even remotely recently.

I used to make, consume and share a lot of frozen beverages. I had a set of aluminum cups that I loved, but everyone else hated them because they started frosting over as soon as the frozen drink was poured in. My then girlfriend, now wife, would only use them with a towel wrapped around them for insulation.

I once posted this picture in response to someone here on lemmy and they responded "I've got that book right behind me." (Possibly paraphrased)

That might even be, like, 500 miles.

I was looking for the word "beehive" and found myself thorougly flummoxed. After re-reviewing I understand better. Thank you.

Where'd they end up?

I can't not appreciate a good Simpsons reference.

With the number of games that I've been playing for years that didn't have tutorials when I started playing them but do now, I'm starting to feel pretty old.

Duke (lemmy.world)
 

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.
