No, I didn’t watch the first debate
OK, while I was driving to see Jennifer, I caught the tail end on KUT/NPR…I was hoping it was over and I could hear the fact-checking. I had other matters to tackle when my shift ended (nothing worth bragging about). … Continue reading
Lightning win the Stanley Cup
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning for their second Cup victory despite them not being able to play it in their home stadium. Let’s see if they get the opportunity to defend this title on home ice next season, I … Continue reading
Music Monday brought to you by…
This is a hard to find CD because anyone under 40 only streams and treats music as a disposable commodity. I’m definitely out of touch with what younger people like anyway, the only song I recognized was a cover of … Continue reading
Real-life Belchers to kick off the return of Bob’s Burgers
A pretty cute and cool portrait of America’s favorite, struggling burger-making family who return for I think their 11th season on Fox; I’m amazed it made it past four given that network’s preferences for crap because Family Guy debuts with its … Continue reading
…said no one ever, September 2020 edition
It’s a major reason why I had my FaceBook account deleted, it’s mostly the choice forum of MAGAts (pronounced maggots) and other right-wing dipshits. I also just find it the preferred forum for people too lazy to communicate beyond “LOL” … Continue reading
Crappy 2020 summed up, September 2020 addendum 2
The only person on Earth who could possibly be excited about this is Frank Booth and thankfully he’s a fictional character.
Happy second birthday Agamemnon!
The younger, silly and dumb cat celebrates his second birthday which would make him about 24 in human years. He’s been in the dog house lately though. Aggie has a bad habit, he likes to claw the spines of hardback … Continue reading
Shared Pandemic Project 2020
Jennifer has past experience with fostering kittens and she decided to get this batch as a project to take our minds off the boredom, and maybe show me how it’s done. The photo above is a mixed family: the orange … Continue reading
Took a couple days off
Last weekend wasn’t so great for me health wise on top of America becoming the Right-Wing, Fascist Kingdom the GOP has had a boner for since Goldwater. Lot of dizzy spells, probably a combination of dehydration and the blood pressure … Continue reading
Typesetting/Layout matter, lesson 1
Plus, this is a quick lesson on spotting fakes. You can tell that someone sloppily modified this with computer software (PhotoShop being the most common) as you can see the discoloration under the letters. Plus I’ve worked with marquees during … Continue reading
Nubby
The fifth installment (of seven) of Jennifer’s cats. Meanwhile, the kitten fostering is coming along. For some damned reason, the two orange ones (Prince & Piper) are reluctant to eat. This is Nubby! He’s mostly an orange tabby with a … Continue reading
Let’s hear it for backing up your data, Sep. 2020 edition
I tried a different tactic in upgrading my iPhone to the new iOS 14, via the Settings since it is often faster than running it through my portable’s version of iTunes. Yes, my personal system is on a lower macOS … Continue reading
Sign Kanye West up for this
Nothing good comes from Kanye…and it’s not just his so-called “music,” he’s a complete con artist with nothing worthwhile to say. Make a giant crib for the big baby, then pow! The more he sucks, the more he has to … Continue reading
Meet Bootsy, one recent stray ID’d
One of the cats my security camera caught “on tape,” decided to show her face when I left the house yesterday. I’ve dubbed her Bootsy due to her distinctive white hind legs. My neighbor Christina says Bootsy belongs to the … Continue reading
Cat-a-ccino
I worked part-time in a coffee shop for seven years and my foam-making skills were adequate: I could make enough for a customer who really wanted it. Sculpting it like this? Not a chance. However, giving how quickly foam dissolves … Continue reading
