I know it'll be freezing again in a week or so, but for today it is glorious to be able to open a window and get some fresh air!
(Even if I am still chilly and wearing a hoodie 😂😂😂)
The neighborhood outdoor black cats hiding on our porch from the rain is absolutely the most on brand thing for us ever.
(No worries...they're frequent visitors. They're clean, well fed, and have proper collars. So they're loved and cared for, just allowed to roam outdoors most days).
Haru Illustrated banzuke is out.
This time instead of a separate banzuke combo choice you can add a discounted banzuke during checkout.

His first yusho was at sekiwake, so doesn't count towards yokozuna.
Second yusho, last basho, he was ozeki, so that counts. If he gets another yusho or an equivalent performance, he's eligible for yokozuna promotion
Seriously, people hating on Starfleet Academy just need to WATCH IT. It's damn near peak Trek.
I CANNOT wait for next week.
I know Trek bros and SFA haters will balk at the comparison, and no spoilers!
But this episode's end hit EXACTLY like the end of Best of Both Worlds part 1 the first time I saw it. Like immediately said to myself in the empty living room, "Oh this is some Best of Both Worlds shit."
Captain America Herself, Schroeder, AND Bilka on LTIR? I need all my Torrent ladies healthy 😭😭😭
I absolutely love when they play What's Up by 4 Non Blondes for a long review 😂😂😂 #pwhl
Welcome to Manda at 40 folks. Been making it up without a plan for so long, that making it up as I go IS now the plan & I'm just becoming more of an anarchocommie gender neutral swamp hag as the years march on. If you can't handle it, exit stage left. I won't be offended, but I WILL laugh at you. 🖖😘
But the FUNNIEST birthday present was when a couple of "we hate both sides, we don't end relationships over politics, we're punk as fuck," friends from HS deleted me because I pointed out they're falling for Maga conspiracy theories and they benefit from the socialism of a strong labor union 😂😂😂
So the best birthday present was this past weekend when A came home and then The Naughty Husband, D, A, A2, and I had a trivia night - it could only have been better if R was here too and I had all the kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️
Anyway, this is what 40 looks like and I'm not mad about it.
I've birthed two kids at a pretty young age, my hair has more tinsel than a Christmas tree, I have some saggy skin...
Idk. *I* think that I look my age, but maybe my chub and making funny faces is doing some heavy lifting and making me look like I still have baby fat. Or it's all the microplastics
Aging is weird. I've always been told I look young for my age, even up to now. I can't figure it out. My skincare routine is non existent, I always forget my sunscreen and I fry like a lobster, I used to smoke a pack a day, I used to drink like a fish (although I did quit both more than 10 yrs ago)
A rare self portrait in even more rare ink wash (as you can see, the former is rare because of how bad I am at it 😂), coupled with an Aqua Teen meme that I have been waiting literally 12 months to bust out.
NBC put up this absolutely brutal graphic 😂😂😂
US v Canada at the gold match! What's a dual citizen to do? I think for this I'll just be rooting for MPP to knock Britta Curl tf out.
Between the misogynistic commentator for NBC and their near constant camera pans to Vance, I should have paid for a VPN instead of Peacock so I could watch the CBC feed. I hate this dystopian hellscape country on every level.
NO. ONE. CARES. ABOUT. THE. MEN. WHILE. THE. WOMEN. ARE. PLAYING. FOR. FUCKS. SAKE.
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE MEN DURING A WOMEN'S HOCKEY GAME CHALLENGE.
At this point, I don't think guys should be allowed to commentate women's hockey at all, because they all suck at letting the ladies be great on their own merits. Disgusting.
I'm also going to need the dude announcers of @nbcpeacock.bsky.social and @thepwhl.com to STOP BRINGING UP CARPY'S DAD EVERY TIME SHE DOES SOMETHING WELL.
We all know she comes from a hockey family. JUST LET HER KICK ASS ON HER OWN FFS.
What in the actual fuck @nbcpeacock.bsky.social no one is watching women's hockey because we want to see the couch fucker or anyone else in the admin. 🤮🤮🤮
Stfg I should have just gotten a VPN and watched a foreign feed. Fucking Peacock.
From now on when I say Captain America, I am only talking about Hilary Knight.
HOLY CRAP BABY TERUNOFUJI IN A KESHO-MAWASHI AND YOKOZUNA ROPE IS THE CUTEST FREAKING THING
Flaming hot take:
My So-Called Life is an exponentially better show than Friends and should not have been cancelled after one season. Friends absolutely should have been cancelled instead.
Hot take: Goals made by Britta Curl 🤮🤮🤮 shouldn't be allowed to count.
Of course, Britta Curl shouldn't even be allowed in the league, but at least it's fun to watch Pou check her
#pwhl
Ugh, Ottawa and Boston are so cruel to me 😭
Especially Ottawa - you could have let us have double bonus hockey 😠

A picture of a wide screen computer display where a crazy person has windows of three PWHL games up at the same time
Don't judge me. Sumo is over & after tonight the PWHL goes on break, but there's a week until the Olympics
I also have a tab for Vancouver at Minnesota, but that game hasn't started yet lol. I'm alternating my sound between the Sirens and the Torrent. Let's go all my bluegreen-clad lovelies! #pwhl
Working has been slow with other life and commitments demanding attention.
But I got to sling some ink today! And I got to use this awesome crinkley paper that I got from @theartstorecny.bsky.social (that of course I can't remember the name of because I bought the piece without the tag 😂😅)
A lithograph print on crinkled paper of a woman holding a gazing ball. Her eyes are large and one eye has a spiral instead of a pupil. In the gazing ball is a skull with hands holding it and a mushroom growing out of the eye.
A Sibyl - 8x10 - lithograph, edition of 3
