You may recognize me from such places as #NOLAtwitter.
You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.

@liprap.bsky.social it is more of an OtamaTON than my other Otamatone. 😂🤣
The low register is super low bass. The high register is as high or higher than my cracked egg one. And I am annoying the feral cat who guards my porch…

Sigh. The closest the snow line will get is about 50 miles. In fact, it seems to follow a 50 mile circle from my location darn.

Saw this $25 masterpiece at an antique shop today. I mean, who doesn’t want a painting of a giant ground sloth attacking a human on a rocky crag?

A fine local product from here in NC, on the other side of Raleigh from me. Please excuse Donkey Kong. I may have been playing DK Bananza earlier. 😂

So I took a stroll uptown. (Shelby, not New Orleans). This is kinda fun. Feels like my first digital camera in 2000.

Right. I could blame this on you, but it’s fully on me. Waitlist is fine, but I wanted to play with a keychain camera during the holidays so I spent $30. First image is on my iPhone 16 pro, second is same pocket knife with the camera. It’s a bit…blue.

lol. Apparently I only pick a particular song four times in a year. Pretty sure this year was all the days after Ozzy passed. Last year I played To Life 4 times in a row with a glass of the good whiskey when I was offered my current job. Yes, I remember. It’s a thing I do.

I think body snatchers have taken my stepdad. I like the show Jericho. Hadn’t seen it in forever. He watched it on paramount+ and asked if I’d seen it. He just gave me these for Christmas. Last year when he was here I was reading a Judge Dredd complete case files volume so that was his cue.

Farmers market was small in part because it was sub freezing. But still got squash and muscadines while my stepdad sampled and bought a ton of flavored goat cheeses.

Pop up Christmas market at the tree lighting tonight. I love our uptown square. We do lots of little things like this.

Frickin guy just shows up for a month and gets subsidized housing. Is that even necessary if we are only letting kids have one doll and grandma won’t even get new slippers?
Ancient Astronaut Theorists say “shut up, it’s Santa you dumbass”. And I for once agree with them. 🤣😂

Locally made sourdough acquired from the…coffee shop? They are accomplished bakers of breakfast treats, so I am ready for this. Especially as it’s boneless thing to make for tomorrow. 🤣😂

I have stood right there on the edge of Halema’uma’u when Madame Pele was a little less angry. This was 2004. The Colano observatory has been in my bookmarks since the visit.

I still haven’t climbed Mt Mitchel or Grandfather. Part of that is there are so many awesome trails at South Mountain that I just never make the plan. And South mountain is where knobby, our local Bigfoot lives. Been spotted as close as 17 miles from my door. This is at the coffee shop here.

Appalachian Apple Stack Cake. Even better if, as is tradition dictates, you make the apple filling and guests to your celebration all bring a layer of spice cake. You assemble as they arrive. Boom.

This is a deeply flawed marble table. You can tell it is deeply flawed as it is not sticky from a layer of cast off powdered sugar from beignets.

Santa Claus is coming to town!
Before next Thursday that little shack will be landscaped (potted plants and astroturf but hey). And then the big guy!
He wanders the uptown district during lunch hour wishing adults happy Christmas. Cool dude who had a lot of fun.
