I somehow managed to accidentally hit F5 several paragraphs into typing up this book review, and now the text field is EMPTY
great white shark engulfed in a beam of light as it rockets away from a passenger jet, with more sharks of various species raining down in the background. chaos. madness. I want to throw a shark at something with the power of my mind.

A movie that takes place where you're from.
movie poster for The Ides of March, showing Ryan Gosling in a suit holding a folded-up issue of Time Magazine to his face so that half of George Clooney's face covers half of his. The magazine cover says, "Is This Man Our Next President?"

I FUCKING KNEW IT
two skeets by me from a day ago, reading as follows: the thing that annoys me about the current wave of "Google is forcing Gemini into your emails via Smart Features!!!" is that I'm pretty sure they already did that months ago? if not more than a year? which is why I already had it turned off... it's giving "TOS update panic caused by terms that have been in there for ages"

calzone unlocked
semi-circular bread thing cut into pie slice thirds, like the yeasty Italian version of a quesadilla, in a cardboard takeout box and with an unopened ranch dipping cup in the empty space.

ah, timing
timeline screenshot with the previous post in the thread, key phrase "people are the real monsters" from my movie genre list, followed by some Frankenstein fanart reskeeted by Guillermo del Toro, captioned "You are the monster". it looks like Victor with a clawed shadow overlaying one hand and an enormous, malevolently glowing eye.

we also have the aurora tonight! it's bright enough that I could see it without my camera!
strong magenta smudges of light in the night sky over a stand of trees. there's also a deer in the lawn between two houses, looking at me.

apparently they weren't actually unpinned, they were just disappeared from the toolbar, but I'm so fucking tired of all these version 12 instabilities that I've reinstalled Vivaldi to see if it's fixed the problems I was having with it before
browser extension menu that shows the extensions you haven't pinned. the four extensions shown were, in fact, previously pinned, and clicking on the gear menu of one to try and pin them all again shows that "Pin to Toolbar" is still/already checked.

this pen is clean*

* mostly
it's BENU's Jack-O'-Bats pen--an orange, yellow, black, and gold fountain pen with tiny glitter bats embedded in the barrel--lying on a paper towel and disassembled down to grip, converter, and barrel with the cap posted on the back end. wet spots are radiating out from the nib end of the grip, with faint reddish spots in the center.

still pretty funny
a stemless orange wine glass with a friendly grinning jack-o-lantern face printed on in black, full of orange pop. there's also pizza on a paper plate and way too much leftover candy.

I don't think they want candy
crummy photo of a couple deer in an empty lot across the street. one is running into the trees beyond, which you can mostly see by its white butt.

ropukupdate: Halloween complete 🎃
another screenshot of Ropuka's Idle Island, enlarged to show the assorted jack-o-lantern faces around the edge of the island and serving as the head of the scarecrow, the candles and stone-and-metal fencing also around the edge, the string of orange triangle flags hung on the long side of the new, bigger house, the little spiders crawling all over the house's walls, and the orange-and-black striped chimney.

progress! only two things left to buy and then it's 100% spooky frog island time
the same island as in previous post, except now it has spooky dark grass, a scarecrow, a green chair with an orange frame, and no book of decor to buy. also you can see programs behind it instead of a black void because I used my computer screenshot function instead of Steam's.

Halloween stuff! Ropuka, I am coming to help with the grass!
screenshot of a video game where there's a little island with a bipedal frog running around to cut grass, accompanied by a white rabbit the same size as he is and they whole area half submerged in water. the settings and items book is open to a page of new decorations, which you can tell are Halloween-themed from the illustration next to them, the outlines of some of the unpurchased items, and the small purchased house which has black and white striped paneling, orange windows and trim, and a giant spiderweb on the satellite dish.

I think this is how they would've done it
A vintage illustration of an elaborate orange molded jello creation with green garnish and pineapple slices with the title MAN-PLEASER SALADS, except it's been roughly edited to make the jello magenta and the title read "Woman-Pleaser Salads"

god, I can't wait for "animated One Piece that isn't bloated by reaction shots and out-of-character behavior"
long-ass tweet screenshot so you can see the timestamp at the end, which is 9:15 AM on October 28th, 2025. the tweet itself reads: "📢 Breaking News from ONE PIECE NEWS "ONE PIECE will go on a three-month break starting this January, returning in April 2026 with the start of the Elbaph Arc! "Beginning in 2026, the anime series will also kick-off its new production schedule, dividing into two parts for a maximum of 26 episodes per year in order to dive even deeper into the heart of the ONE PIECE world — incorporating more content, tempo, and pacing of the original manga. "Don't worry, Nakama - you'll have a chance to gear up for the next adventure. Stay tuned for exciting surprises during the series’ break! 🏴‍☠️ #OnePiece #OnePieceNews #Elbaph" And then a portrait-layout promo image, the reason the screenshot is so long: an overhead shot of Luffy in a viking-themed costume walking through the snow, between two footprints the size of a pickup truck, with the One Piece logo at the bottom.

do you mean dust jackets or the narrower bands like on notebooks, except for regular books? (picture of the latter to illustrate)

Floorp ate my WORK SPACES
Jigglypuff dual-wielding handguns, one of which has a flashlight attachment glowing, and with some sort of chemical grenade at its hip. it's smiling as blankly as ever.

it's a good thing this is part of a christmas present and not something I need right away because what the fuck, post office
two items in a package's tracking history. the earlier item has the package arriving at the Cincinnati, Ohio distribution center yesterday morning, with a green check drawn next to it. the later item has it arriving this morning at a Dallas, Texas USPS facility, with three red question marks drawn next to it.

no, okay, this expression works. imagine Reggie tearing around the whole living room, throwing that extremely solid blue toy around and play-snarling, while Touch Me and Die by Zombina and the Skeletones plays
