'The Killer In Me'


Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

That which does not kill you should RUN

But now I'm thinking a Wallace & Gromit style device to deliver buttered toast or something would be a fun project. For someone.

Tim is always willing to tinker with mad science-style contraptions and shenanigans, but included in the fine print is that he cannot guarantee a delivery date. And by "delivery date," I mean "year."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Oh no! RIP Randolph Mantooth.

Punishingly Intricate

A mini fridge would be great but I’m really just upstairs over night. I’ve been hanging out on the chaise part of my sofa, on the same floor as my kitchen all day. I meant to bring a package of pop tarts up last night but I forgot and I once again woke up for my 4am meds STARVING

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Emergency is one of the first shows I remember watching, aside from cartoons. Mantooth had a good run though, at 80.

Lisah, I hope you’re continuing to heal and well fed. My disaster had a knee replacement a few weeks ago. She’s about ready to transition from the walker to a cane.

Lisah try setting an alarm for a tome before you go upstairs with the pop tart reminder

I have to do that a lot to remember stuff to buy before I go home. I think at this point every day has an alarm at 5:50 named things like :Cat food !! Or Coffee, milk, bread, toothpaste. I just turn them on and change my list

Pop tart alarm is a great idea!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We've got hazy orange skies again from Canadian wildfires. Air smells smokey too.
