We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I am dogsitting this weekend for my niece's Tiny Dog (tm): he's a very athletic chihuahua/terrier mix we think. Not so well trained, though, and his nails are very long. So he jumps on you constantly and ouch.

Gotta take the dogs for a walk and then go to the gym I guess. Later today I will do my semi-annual Sorting of the Clothes (move the wool into storage and break out the shorts), and make some bread, and do some more homework.

That's a hell of an upside, Dana.

Good in you, Suela. I have to do clothes sorting, too, but I can't convince myself.

Honestly, my spring and summer clothes, for the most part, are super bland and uninspiring, and working from home doesn't help with that. I'd like to downsize while really getting a few things I love a lot. It's a plan. We'll see how it goes.

Get some summer colors going! Stretch that palette!

You probably heard us discuss all the plot points and performances in pretty close detail as well. Though I don't think my and Plei's endorsements of Steve Rogers' introductory sparring scene could carry the same impact as seeing it with your own eyes...

Must be seen. Is true.

Very glad that the fire department was so good at their job, Matt. Yikes!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We stopped by the birthday party for the daughter of friends of ours. Minus Mr. S, but we had been told it was ok for us to come by.(Although it was held 40 minutes from our house, so not "we were in the neighborhood" close.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No clothing sorting chez Zmayhem--rapid turns in the weather mean that everything's in constant rotation because we might need any of it at any time. There are days when wearing a velvet gown is silly, but also days when it isn't, all year long.

ION, I visited with a high school friend, went out and thrifted (fruitlessly) at Goodwill, just like a normal person does, and then sat in a bookstore. Feel very human. I like it.

Feel very human. I like it.

Yes, this is fantastic. This is good.

Yeah, I understand the kids like it...doesn't happen enough for me, either.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly, in London, there's a musical based on The Great British Baking Show (Bake-Off there). Sounds like a lot of fun.

Thrive to spite them

Yikes about the fire!!

I have problems with fandic and remembering what actually happened and what didnt. Sometimes. The only fic I've read extensively for a shoe or movie I haven't really watched is Teen Wolf. I kept seeing authors I liked wrote it and tried` it. I tried the show. I did not like it enough to continue it.

We are headed back today. Had a great visit yesterday with my aunt and her sweetheart, who runs the Gulf Specimen Marine lab. I played tech support and got him back into hos Facebook account amd set him up on Instagram. And fou d out he is a tiktok addict.

And now we are on our way home. Hopefully we will have as a good a trip back as we did going down
