Update: don’t think I’ve ever quite seen a sky like this at the ballpark…
The tarp continues to be on the field at Isotopes Park. It’s raining, but the Sun has broken through to the West, bathing the clouds in a golden/pink glow. Oh, and there’s a teeny stump of rainbow.

Not a great start to what is ostensibly our last Isotopes game of the season …
A white tarp covers the infield of Isotopes Park, while dark grey clouds lurk ominously in the distance. Those clouds, though, aren’t why the tarp is out; instead, it’s due to the storm coming from the West (behind the camera). Bottom line: this does not look good for Homestar Runner.

Visited my local library, where the pamphlet selection is… something.
A photo of two pamphlets: on the left, a pale green pamphlet with an illustration of a worried man, and the caption “So you’re picking up on an imminent and nonspecific threat“. On the right, a light blue pamphlet with a Victorian-era-esque illustration of a young boy reclining on a divan or something, with the top caption “You May Be Unwell” and the bottom caption “A Highly Sensitive Young Gentleman’s Guide to Establishing Emotional Dominance Through Curated Suffering”

Someone in the neighborhood is experimenting with powerful runes…
A yellow chalk drawing on a sidewalk, depicting… okay, you know that “cool S” that you learned how to draw in school, but no one knows where it came from? Imagine a chain of those things. The longest cool S.

Went out (!) on a Thursday night (!!) to see Sierra Farrell, who put on a pretty darn good show. Fun Americana music, with vibes that you might not expect. Shout-out to the woman whom, upon exiting the venue at the end of the show, screamed, “Is anyone smoking weed? FUCK!” (Reader: someone was.)
A woman stands on stage, playing a fiddle, while dressed in a white fairy outfit. The stage is backlit in orange tones, and has glowing mushroom placed about it. A group of musicians (acoustic guitar, snare drum, fiddle, mandolin, and a barely-visible upright bass) huddle on stage, playing a song against a blue-pink-purple backdrop.

Hoping to cleanse your timeline with a dog who would rather not face any problems right now, thank you.
A small golden dog lies on a bed, facing away from the camera, her face buried in a pile of decorative pillows; to be honest, I wasn’t sure why we got the pillows in the first place, but now I kinda get it.

Tfw you are brought inside after rolling in cat shit
A small, golden-brown dog sits in a white bathtub, clearly very chagrined at the experience of being bathed. Oh, and the tub has jets in it. They don’t work, but still.

Happy baseball, everyone!
A frame from a Peanuts comic; Charlie Brown lies in bed, unable to sleep. Frame 2: Charlie Brown tosses and turns in bed. Frame 3: But hark! What light through yonder window breaks? Frame 4: It's baseball, bitch.

With Flashes now available, it’s time to a) make yet another social media account, b) inaugurate said account with pictures of pets
A sassy black cat shows off his airplane ears A small grey cat is perched on top of a couch, one paw stretched out to snag an unwary picture-taker. A small golden dog lies on her back, very much inviting you to rub her belly. Her facial expression borders on saucy.

Not sure I’m ever going to take a better dog picture, frankly.
In which one dog (shaggy white hair with peach highlights) is sitting on the top of a couch, looking down at another dog (shorter hair, mostly golden brown with a white muzzle and neck) looks up at her. Their snoots are almost close enough to touch, but not quite.

New Mexico Lobos women’s basketball! At the Pit! And on national television, apparently. Um, good seats still available.
The basketball court at UNM’s The Pit arena, prior to a women’s basketball game. There are many seats empty.

Timeline cleanse? Timeline cleanse.
A small, golden brown dog lies on a bed. She is on her back, with her back legs spread akimbo and a coquettish expression on her face. It is all far too cute to be allowed.

When you try to disembark from the couch, but there is traffic
A small grey cat with frazzled fur is attempting to get down from a couch, but her progress is impeded by a large black cat currently patrolling in her path; as such, the grey cat is stuck in a super position of being both on and off the couch at the same time, and she is thus very slinky, in the way of cats.

When you just want to stay in bed, but you can’t, because it’s Monday. #dogs
The head of a small brown dog peeks out from underneath a floral duvet cover. She (the dog) does not look super-excited to be dealing with *gestures vaguely at everything* any of this.

Signing up for yet another one of these things. I'm probably just going to lurk here, for now. To commemorate the occasion, here's a picture of my cat, attempting to prevent me from using my keyboard.
A grey cat lies on a silk pillow. She reaches out to tag the hand of the author; that hand is sitting on a laptop keyboard, attempting to use said keyboard. The cat does not seem keen on letting that happen. She is probably right.

Because if I’m going to be anxious and restless for the next few hours, I can at least be physically tired, too… #LetsGoBlueJays
