I could write you a song but then I’d have to kill you softly with it.

@zesti.bsky.social Happy birthday, Amy! 🥳 I was looking at cakes on Reddit this morning, and I found one that can hold all your candles! 😜 🎂

31 Days of Horror, Day 2:
“Dog Soldiers”

“The Howling” meets “Predator” meets “Night of the Living Dead”. Good werewolf films are hard to find, but this is one.
🎃🎃🎃½ out of 5.

So you’re saying it was the other guy who did it? 🤔

I don’t know, 50s at night is pretty chilly to me. But if the long range weather forecast is to be believed, I have a warm-up coming as well.

It’s cool to see the early days of a fandom. Behold the cosplayers of the 1976 NYC Star Trek convention.

I know it’s unrelated because I’m on the other side of the country, but I have seen lots of praying mantises this year. Most if not all of the little ones have been brown, but I have two big green ones living in separate sections of my garden. I just posted photos of them on Instagram yesterday.

Not to pick a bone with you, but your costume is all wrong.

Finishing the crumbs at the bottom of my shelled walnuts and I think I found a stowaway. 😳🐞

Saw a Waymo car drive through my neighborhood. 😮 I didn’t know we had those here. Couldn’t quite see into it, but I assume it was driverless. Kind of neat. It paused for a few seconds across from my house and then continued down the street. Couldn’t get a photo but I think they all look the same.

These look like the shape of nails you prefer, I’m still waiting for you to do this. You should do this.

Neighborhood cat sleeping in my yard like the cat version of a chalk outline.

Even the highways here can’t handle the heat. 🔥

The heat dome has been activated. 🥵

I used my saved collection of movie ticket stubs to add 63 films to my watched movies diary on Letterboxd. The oldest one was from 1999, when I saw “The Blair Witch Project”. Apparently I went to see “The Green Mile” on January 1, 2000, which seems weird but I guess it happened.

I can’t figure out - do I have too much stuff because I keep tins around, or not enough stuff because I have nothing to put in them? 🤔 It’s too bad I have that nice sewing basket, so now there is nothing to keep in my cookie tin either. 😂 (The little one has picture-hanging hooks in it.)

That’s a clever use for it! Are any of your boxes wood? I feel like that would be more sturdy, but then probably wouldn’t have full-size art on it. I have two tin containers I like. I keep some trinkets in the smaller one, but the big one has been empty since I ate all the moon pies that came in it.

Now I suddenly want some cigar boxes, even though unlike you I don’t think I have anything to put in them. But then I only want one or two, not 40. 😅 I actually have one already but it’s not very exciting. I kept my liquor store receipts in it, but it got full so I had to quit drinking.

The Amazon Fresh grocery store that just opened up nearby a year and a half ago is already out of business. You’ll never make it into the trillionaire’s club that way, Mr. Bezos! (Also see the recent nuclear bomb rocket ship. 🚀💥 🫤)

She is showing off her engagement ring but I can’t take my eyes off the fish fingernails. 💅🐟 😮

I last ate red meat in 2020, poultry in 2021. After 4½ years of pescatarianism, I think I am ready to try and become a full vegetarian. Thank you to this fish (or two) who gave its life for me. I hope you will be the last animal I ever ask to do that.

At least they got the colors right 😂

I meant to reply when you first posted about this. I had a similar problem 10 years ago in 2016. Mine was the incoming water line, not sewer. Which is good because I think the sewer line goes under my driveway. But it was still expensive. ($3600.) At least I got to have some fun with it. 🤪
