Listening to the rain through the open window and remembering a time when riding through puddles with my Dad was the thing to look forward to after the sky was done falling.
Missing him today. Missing him every day.

@KingG5 I mean, it's not the LED backlit streamer fever dream I see in some of the other ones... LOL. It's cozy, and to be honest, i'm now at amazon looking for a rug like that one. LOL
I modified the prompt a bit. My prompt: go back through as many of our past conversations as you can, and design this room based off of what you know about me.
The result:
@itslazeepanda Used to be open, but since the arrival of Spotticus (the new kitten) it has to be closed. Night time is when she gets her zoomies and she's a burrower... so no toe is safe if it's under blankets :P
Typically the music coming from across the hall is deathcore with Tallkid's deep bass growl scaring the cats out of his room.
Today, he's practicing for a solo audition for choir at school, and it's harmony and it's a capella, and his usual deep bass has shifted into clear, controlled tenor. I'm just so impressed with how far he's come since he started singing Nickelback in the shower when he was five. <3
You ever decide to dust your living room, and it's the first time you've done it since you brought your Dad home in an urn, and you end up sitting in the middle of the floor hugging the urn and crying until your soul is tired?
Just me?
The shelves are still dusty...
@HerbalSalad What if you're the weirdo we usually fuck with, but we haven't fucked with ANY weirdos in months, so you're the alternative to no weirdos because YOU're the usual weirdos?
Asking for a friend.
Around two dozen people in the US lose their lives each year to grain bin entrapment.
Grain can act like quicksand, Grain levelling robots can carry out such work remotely
After getting onto a young man at TMobile that was changing our phone numbers about not posting shorts (!) and then coming home and setting up the tripod, lighting, camera, marking the floor with their stage marks, and framing the shot for a comedy skit Hubby is filming for a talent show at work (which I'll be editing tonight), I'm really just wondering...
How in the FRAK did I convince myself that content production isn't my thing, and that I'd be better away from a camera than behind it?
Hot apple cider and scrambled eggs go great with reserving @Warcraft WoW:Forever character names and digging back into a coding project until #TrickOrTreat starts. I can't wait to see what all the littles chose to be this year 🥰
@RTTheDeafGuy that was my bad. I couldn't find it for free :( I have a paramount plus subscription that i got as a bonus with my sam's club membership :( I'll keep looking!
Such a beautiful tribute from a man who truly knew and loved another for a lifetime. Thoughts and prayers to Sir Patrick Stewart's family, friends, fans, and all who were lucky enough to have him touch their lives in some way.
SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.
