I know things about things.
I love movies, video games and soup.
Harlan Ellison was pretty sure I stole his wallet.

Feeling pretty tired and depressed today, just going through the motions. But I got a cute new hat I guess.
Me with a new knit hat, black with a little knit baseball cap brim. And my jacket is just the inside layer of one of those Columbia winter coats with the little foil heat lining on the inside.

I think that if I was president, one day everyone would just stop getting stupid scam texts like this and nobody would know why until years later when a house oversight democrat did a really detailed audit and found that like 30 cruise missiles were missing.
A stupid ass scam text from +15126732675 that says “Hey had your meal? Want to make plans tomorrow?”

This floof creature really loves it when I press my forehead against hers and scritch both of her cheeks at the same time. She’s the best.
A large soft cloud beast, which is to say a white Samoyed, walking toward the camera on a brown hardwood floor caught with her tongue licking her own nose.

The forensics squad has arrived, and it’s time for an in depth chemical analysis of this grass.
The largest French bulldog, white with brown ears , and a normal sized extremely white golden retriever both doing extreme sniffs in an area of rich people green grass. They’re both wearing black harness leads, which I recommended because the frenchie’s body simply is not shaped to work with any other pup restraint I’ve seen.

Every time I get here, this man selects a toy to bring me as a welcome present. He’s literally the best dog ever.
A light yellow golden doodle with a toy in his mouth, doing a biiiig stretch to offer the toy me.

None of fhe older dogs on my schedule today are too excited about the cold damp weather. But receiving pets is pretty nice I guess.
A floofy-headed extremely small dark brown poodle getting pets from my giant hand in black fingerless knit gloves and a dark grey thumb holed sleeve. My hand is covering half of the dog’s entire body. She’s house cat sized.

This guy is like, what,I don’t care if the grass is wet, I need to lay here and chew on this thing and nothing is going to stop me.
An airedale terrier with a dark brown body and light brown head and legs laying in the wet grass, chewing on a treat he must have left out here last time they let him out back.

This pup was not too jazzed about going out in this weather. I could almost hear her wavering old lady voice protesting about her “old bones”.
A medium sized black dog with white around the neck and feet walking along the edge of the sidewalk with vaguely autimny grass and leaves on the background.

Someone cranked the ear, paw and snoot size sliders all the way to the right on this beast.
A light brown Weimaraner laying on his dog bed, doing a chew on some sort of Halloween jack-o’-lantern bear toy, his paws, ears and snoot are all ridiculously huge, like 10” long.

Feeling like posting pictures today, what’s up. Look at this extremely autumnal boy.
An large light yellow wolfhound wearing a bandana around his neck, sitting down and looking over his left shoulder at the camera. In the background are some trees with autumn red leaves, and those same leaves are all over the grass that spans most of the picture. The same large light yellow wolfhound looking back toward the camera as he stands on a sea of the same red leaves from the previous photo.

I’ve been using a new kind of insulin the last few days and every time I take out the pen, the name makes me think of made up words chanted over and over again in a Soul Coughing song.

(It’s LYUMJEV™️ from Eli Lilly)

I have to walk 16 dogs today in the next 12 or so hours, and it’s cold and raining, and I started 2 hours and 2 dogs ago, and I guess it’s going to be fine, it’s just a long ass day and I would rather be wearing a hoodie and sweatpants and be on the couch under a pile of blankets watching a movie.
It’s me, sitting in a grey car, with a grey beard, wearing a grey winter hat and a black raincoat, black vest, black shirt and black glasses, making I guess a kind of “welp” face, resigned to an exhausting 14 hour day of dog walking.

If you see this, post a bird
Captain Howard of the royal marines firing his gun at an albatross as it swoops low over the deck, missing and instead striking Stephen Maturin in the lower left abdomen as he stands by the larboard side gunwale near a bank of stays for the foremast and mainmast.

Sometimes I think about how this shot of The One Ring in the snow on Caradhras is better than any shot in most best picture winners and also how the prop in this shot is like 10” in diameter so the camera can actually see Frodo and Aragorn in the background.
The wide shot of the mountains in Fellowship of the Ring with The One Ring in the foreground and Aragorn helping Frodo up out of the snow in the background, just before Boromir picks up the ring by its chain and is tempted to break the fellowship. The forced perspective of the shot is made possible by the Ring prop being absolutely huge.

I went on vacation to Japan a few months back, and the one day it rained was the day we picked to meet the deer in Nara. When we flew home, I left my Japanese cash on the nightstand at the hotel. Next time it rained back home, I found this 1¥ coin in the pocket of my raincoat where it remains today.
A 1¥ coin in the palm of my hand, with some grass and autumn leaves in the rainy background.

I know some writers who use subtext. They’re all cowards.
A comic by reparrishcomics in 2020: Interviewer: Professor Tolkien! Is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the First World War? Tolkien: No. Never. Ask me that again and I will call the police. Meanwhile, C.S. Lewis thinks to himself: If even one person reading this does not understand that the big lion is jesus, I will set myself on fire.

Miracle Whip makes me think about Michael’s thoughts on frozen yogurt versus ice cream.
Michael from The Good Place saying to Eleanor, “There’s something so human about taking something great and ruining it a little so you can have more of it.”

Recently, Dunks started putting their $6 breakfast sandwich and hash browns deal in a little happy meal box. Initially it was regular Dunks colors, and I thought to myself, man, we need to bring back the concept of the LUNCH PAIL, and my dudes, someone at Dunks was right there with me.
The Dunks $6 meal box as of yesterday, in standard Dunks colors, orange and pink with yellow and white trim. The Dunks meal box today, it looks like an old timey LUNCH PAIL with like a wood handle and metal snap closures, and an old Dunks logo from a past age. It also says “power pail” on it. An all around A+ in design and marketing.
