Tuesday Evening

End of the month - and what a month it's been. If January has been any indication, 2023 is not looking to be too superduper. And Tuesday, as we know, is ... Tuesday.

 Good morning, everyone. It’s cold and icy outside for a lot of us, so I hope you get to stay home and warm and dry today. If not, I hope for safe and easy travels as you go about your day.

Monday 🌔 OT - January Dregs Are Really Cold Dregs

Dregs rhymes with legs and now that ZZ Top song is stuck in my head. One would have to be an idiot to misunderstand their meaning, but the exclamatory "She's got legs! She knows how to use them!" sounds way too excited a discovery for worldly rock n rollers. As if the boys in the band had recently crash-landed here from a planet of guitar wielding beardos and stub-legged or betentacled women. Suddenly, WOW, women walking and jogging and dancing and other miraculous stuff with their legs. Like shopping at the mall.

 DotD '78 should have been the last word on consumerism, capitalism, human nature, zombies. But no, there's money to be made, chaps, and here we are in 2023 with thousands of imitators and only a handful of decent ones at that. Snyder naturally got it exactly wrong (as he usually does, hilariously) in his remake. When you have fast undead predators, dread at the mall is replaced with something like an enthusiasm for shopping. Yay! To the mall we go!  Akin to watching slobs do cardio or Tae Bo for two hours. A waste of decent actors, esp. Sarah Polley.

Hullo and welcome to another week. Time to get back to the heavy lifting.

Sunday evening OT

 

We're a full week into the Year of the Rabbit, but so far not trending towards peaceful as promised. The only way to hop is upwards one hopes.

The Photo Gallery

 It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Good morning

 

I hope you all have a peaceful and relaxing Sunday today.

Fur Face Friday

 Welcome to Fur Face Friday!  January is coming to a close. How is everyone doing with those resolutions? Last week's fur faces were cheerful, this week they are determined. Sylvie is trying very hard to stay on her diet but 415s30 doesn't make it easy.

I've got nothin'

Stay warm. But not uncomfortably warm.

It's that time of the week to let go and fuss about what's bugging or angering you, or even if something in your space just seems a little off.

Thursday Morning Open Thread

Honestly it feels more like an episode of the Office most days.  Eh, beggars can’t be choosers.

Wednezday Eve OT

How's the day go? Owl's well?

Goooooodd morninnnggg

 Some Wednesdays are just like this I guess... How about yours? 

I'm posting from a new computer. We'll see how it takes to all this. School is starting again so I need to make sure all my techno gadgetry is in order.

Tues Eve OT

Everyone's Tuesday go OK? Or do we all feel like a poor bewildered booby?

Monday Just Past the New Moon 🌑 OT (A Sliver of a Waxing Crescent Tonight)

Happy Monday PM, all. Are you alone? Wouldn't you like to be?

I would like to see Kyle Edward Ball's Skinamarink (alone) in a movie theater since I haven't been to one since I saw Parasite (alone). Seems like the perfect thing to view by oneself. 

Working for you

 

It’s time to talk. Let’s have a discussion about what’s important to you.

Hey, good morning and happy weekend or almost-so. Weather's been up and down and up and down again so I've been feeling a bit croaky myself. As much as I'd like to hop to it, I'll probably be more like a bump on a log.

Fur Face Friday

Hey howdy and welcome to Fur Face Friday, where we recover from whatever the week has thrown at us with a healthy dose of cute endorphins. Last week, we were blessed with the good luck of cute, and aminals finding their happy places.

Kiltedpadre’s Cornbread is just a happy (quasi-)lappy doggo and not afraid to show it.

 

Photobombing 101 classes signing up now!

In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.

Thursday evening open thread

 

Nice beaver! I've had beaver lodges on my property at the cottage, and you can hear the babies and the adults calling to each other. One day I was walking along the shore and heard a rustling in the bushes behind me, turned around, and there was a baby beaver. It ran past me and into the water and the little tail, about the size of my hand, gave a tiny "warning! danger!" slap on the water.

Halfway through the week for most of us! How ya doin'?

Good morning?

 The wet has left us and now the cold has returned, it seems. How are things with y'all?

Tail end of Tuesday. Whose day was exhausting? Or perhaps dare I ask ... enjoyable?

Monday 🌘 OT - MLK Day 2023

MLK's 93rd birthday was yesterday. I have nothing to add to that except thank you, amazon algorithms, I guess? Suggested just about every movie and show with a Black actor in it, like maybe I should spend MLK Day bingeing Moesha or Sister, Sister.

One of the minor pleasures of Nope was the horses and this reference. The character of OJ and his horse
Ghost. That would be OJ with a white bronco. Yup. He did that.

Sunday Evening Ohtee

 

This seems like something that should be brought to everyone's attention. US Army Corps of Engineers Cat Calendar

I have high blood pressure right now beacuse this month's Doc Soup film series is Battleground, a documentary about anti- abortion activists' strategies. It's a well-done doc, but I found it hard to watch until after seeing the Q&A with the filmmaker, Cynthia Lowen, where she talks about how the organizations involved (especially Students for Life, I thought) co-opt other movements, or use misinformation, to have clout beyond their relatively small numbers.  Battlegroundfilm.org

I will do some dry reading for my course about math assessment to bring my blood pressure down. 🧮

The cat calendar should help too!

Hullo and welcome to another weekendish thing. Either it's time to relax and chill or very near it, and get over whatever the week has done to us.
