I used to spend a lot of time on Twitter as patman23, but Elon Musk turned it into the proverbial Nazi Bar.
I used to blog a lot about Game of Thrones, but that's just sad to bring up, I feel. (I'm happy to talk about Game of Thrones though, pleasantly.)
I'm surprised you didn't promote this one (I'm not that surprised, because that Andor shirt is Fire)

Happy Blackagar Fridayagon to the Inhuman consumers of Attilan.

Everyone else should just refrain from consumerism today. There is power in silence.

In City of Heroes, finally finished soloing the Dr. Quarterfield Task Force, where my heroic tank had to contend with Lovecraftian creatures and menacing mechanical steampunk automatons.

Just spending my Sunday evening playing my favorite (free-to-play) MMO, City of Heroes. I'm having my Superman-homage flying strongman try to solo a Task Force in the beautiful (but often empty) Shadow Shard.

Lisa, Grace, and I are at a Thai food restaurant, where you can design your bowl from many delicious options.

This is me. (I ordered the sauce Thai Hot because Why Not?)

This seemed wild, so I looked at some other stats - the geographical location of where people were visiting the site from. Apparently, I must be big in China.

To bring up the important numbers, of the top 10 countries the Netherlands is number 10 with 5 hits, the USA is number 2 with 186. Both -

I checked out the stats, and it was crazy - for this week, I had 54K views.

Wait.

That's just over 10% of the 500K views over 12 years. 10% just in this week.

Here are some of those weekly stats - the top 10 posts summed up around 25K or so:

Just what are you saying? (I know what you mean.)

Oliver the cat, btw, has managed to get himself locked in the master bedroom closet today AND locked in the laundry room today.

I'm just going to glue him to me so that won't happen again.

(Nothing bad can happen from this.)

We are ahead of the Halloween game this year, getting pumpkins carved prior to the afternoon of October 31st.
Feel free to guess which pumpkin was carved by Lisa, by me, or by Grace.

I had my annual tele-health appointment with the Sleep Doctor this morning. As usual, he was pleased with my perfect record of sleeping with my CPAP.

Oliver got to visit the vet today for his annual checkup.

He is in nearly perfect health (we are going to be putting drops in his left ear for 5 days.)

OUCH. (We recognize the spiky bits on the approaching rider's helmet.)

Egg got that sword out of the stone just in time.

Not only are the production values in this trailer good, but the production values of Dornish puppet shows during this time are WILDLY GREAT! 5 stars.
