Month: November 2020

It’s 8 am and

I’ve practiced guitar and formalized a new song. I’m dressed! I brushed my teeth and hair!

I’ve walked my 4 (scandalous) letters over to the post box, one for Jan M (written this morning), one for Jan G, one for pOp, one for Tish. I did not have a coronary coming back up the hill, but I was well out of breath when I got back to the house.

I’ve had a whole wheat bun and a couple of cups of tea for breakfast, I brushed and trained and watered Buster and opened his door since we’ve been locking it, and I turned on the heater downstairs so it’s toasty by the time we start watching tv.

Contemplating pizza. Probably tomorrow.

The cultural competence reader is awaiting the novel, so we are a go. Even if things don’t work out (for all I know she hates it so much she can’t bear it, who knows), the process has commenced and I’m off to a new level of fiction.

there’s a coup in the US but it’s quiet

lazy day

I showered, did a load of laundry and slept like I was getting paid to yesterday. I guess I was processing the phone call from the clinic. A few things were cleared up and she’s sending me some literature. I can still lose 20 pounds and stave this off…. I feel like there are a million goddamned balls in the air, and I have so little control over most of them, and inconsistent control over the rest.

Pankakes and tea for brekky

this is one of Kevin Gannon’s dogs (@thetattooedprof) and this is TOTAL MOOD FOR NOW

Image

This is Peter Coffey @petercoffey’s photo of an oil beetle. THEY FLOP OVER AND PLAY DEAD WHEN THE FLASH GOES OFF so he posted this pic with a complaint about how they are his new least fave thing to photograph and I’m thinking WHUT this is berloody amazin’

Image

Somebody mention the angel Castiel?  S’gonna be all right, my beauties.

Penrose tilings

I frequently repost mOm’s Penrose tiling comfort quilt

on social media. mOm secretly resents this but doesn’t complain because she’s not actually being injured also it gives me a thrill to see which of my friends likes it this time. I love how it’s mostly quite muted, but also BUSY.

Anyway, a whole documentary fan squee about Penrose tilings.

travel plans in a pandemic

Lockdown for the next two weeks.

I’m okay with that. We may travel when restrictions are lifted, more deets later.

Alex came over yesterday AND HE ADDED SOME ART TO MY MOTHER’S LETTER and she’s gonna asplode when she sees it. Katie took advantage of the fact that I had JUST SWEPT AND WASHED THE FLOOR and lay down on the floor. 1.5 seconds before she stretched out I gave her a mini yoga mat to keep her head off the floor. Moms do shit like that.

Still enjoying in retrospect my last conversation with Keith, which included Trigun. Which we’re three episodes into.

Tried Hi-5 chicken, it was okay but the opposite of fast food.

Raccoons in the house this morning, noisy until they left, Buster quite unhappy but not calling us to assist so I am up early to post to my blog. I’ve asked my wifi to be turned off 4-7 am each morning and by gob it’s amazing how many more letters I write and how much more I do in the morning now. Letter mailed yesterday to Tom L and mOm. Who shall I write to this am?

Biden has been declared the winner

on twitter, about Kamala Harris I said

Desi Girls Rule

 

Given that she loves cops I probably shouldn’t have

I merely here ack my inner fash.

Trump Pence and Ivanka shipped off to the “Phantom Zone” like Zod from Superman

what the brazilians and kurds think of the election:

Humour, bad but there it is:

Followed Trump long enough to take this snapshot from twitter, with the hilarious notations provided by twitter.

who told him? He is having a narcissistic break. If you’ve ever seen it, it’s quite something. They have no more lies. They have no more ways to turn it around on you

Destiel round up (pretend this is a Private post)

sane people, pls leave – this is in response to Despair ep 18 of the last season of Supernatural.

Original creator of the show Eric Kripke (at least I think that’s who it is) with a rainbow flag and the word COPE:

Image

backstory for the above, fans who only like the relationship between the two Winchester brothers are called bibros. Having Cas (canonically his name is CASS but that’s not what we do in fandom, ha ha) an actual life partner – potentially or otherwise – is making them lose their cheese.

 

Image

Jesus Christ this above noted post made me laugh so fucking hard

the below-noted post IS IMMEDIATELY WHERE MY MIND WENT AFTER THE SHOW WAS OVER

Image

 

Image

Yeah NO SHIT, love this callback, although Dean didn’t actually get enough time to say anything

Image

no, I really haven’t, because that’s the kind of love it is, and always has been represented that way, and fuck the haters

 

Image

now in the fandom they’re saying destiel is what makes Putin resign, which when you consider HOW MANY RUSSIAN FANS THERE ARE is quite possibly the funniest thing about this tempest in a teacup

Image

above is shown the catholic reaction….

Image

LOLOLOL this was the Friday after the show/election

Image

SPN fandom above is memeified in the Avengers universe. Cas disappears during the scene, but he’s already been resurrected three times, so…

Image

I think @solarbirdy’s comments on the above noted complete lack of reaction are best, but she’s a filker so I won’t reproduce her speech without permission

Image

In other words, this represents such an upgrade to the notion of queerbaiting they’ll have to throw out their previous thesis. Also, Tumblr as a social media platform was dying and the extra hits they got as a consequence of Supernatural 15/18 were substantial

Image

Destiel fans often refer to themselves as clowns.

Image

Image

the above-noted isn’t exactly what happened either

Image

nope, not this either and anyone who DOES expect skin should probably give their good ol’ head a shake. I want A HUG FOR THE BOYS that means a little more than the ones they’ve given each other so far.

Image

EVERY G.D. WORD O’ THIS ABOVENOTED POST

palate cleanser

LOOK UPON THE WOMAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD, now we have to survive the next two months OH PS SHE’S OUT ABOUT BEING A SUPERNATURAL FAN but we do not know how she feels about destiel and I would very much like to think that she STANS.

Image

WELL I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT, BUT THERE’S ANOTHER CHASER FOR THAT SHOT

opinionated lady

Joe Biden a career politician who has voted scarcely at all for legislation that would halt climate change is probably the next President of the United States. probably.

r/pics - Would love to know who took this pic just now in the briefing room

Okay, this photo in Philly shows Gritty (the Philadelphia Flyers mascot, fucking lunatic and twitter superstar) dressed on a placard as Lady Olenna from Game of Thrones. In the show she’s about to die of poison, but before she goes she passes along a message for villainess Queen Cersei. This is ….. this is Philadelphia claiming that they’re the ones who put paid to Donald…. SO FUNNY)

and others:

Also I’m SO FUCKING ANGRY about last night’s Supernatural episode that I can’t even talk about it rantily let alone rationally. You can only be a gay couple if one of you is dead? Eleven.fucking.years.of.queerbaiting? I HATE YOU BOBO BEHRENS

a laundry, shopping, writing kind of day

We’re going to go for a brief schlepp – I will continue to scour the aisles of SaveOn for shit I can actually eat on this stupid diet.

Practiced already, still haven’t mailed that letter.

Hope everyone is doing well. Biden continues to creep closer to winning the election; at least *he’s* staying calm.  Endeavour to Persevere, my lovelies!
