I tried to buy a game at GameStop and was told the display cases only show what games they might have, not what games are in stock. I asked them if they have all the Funkos in the their display of Funkos and the guy said "most of them!"

I don't know what GameStop does anymore.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands before a white, empty hospital urinal atop a moveable table. Various cups, cards, and bottles decorate the table.

Dilophosaurus wonders what the heck that thing is.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots gets a little tangled in a Swiffer duster with a yellow handle and blue and white dusting pad. Both are atop a green throw under a dramatic light.

Orion, a black and white domestic short hair cat in his giant "elephant bed" as we called it. You can't see it here, but he had a perfect little white tip on his tail.

Kitten on a String, by Mike Smale from the album Finger Food

I recorded this the day my cat Orion passed seven years ago, and it was renamed for him afterwards. A little sentimentality behind the track.

If you're over on Bandcamp today, also check out HEXSYSTEM's "Black Cake II." I had put this one off for far too long and am so glad that I finally picked it up.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands on top of a white electrical plug and eyes a pink Dimetrodon as an alternative energy source vie his sail and, therefore, wind power. Both are atop a white drawer with a second drawer in the background. A red ball and booklet covered in yellow and pink tulips is visible inside the background drawer through the transparent sides.

Dilophosaurus attempts to utilize sail power.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots hangs off of the edge of a silver bowl filled with pink tuna while a silver fork carrying a piece of tuna is held in front of them. The silver bowl sits on an old, blue countertop with a white oven in the background. Two black burners are visible on the oven’s surface.

An orange and white tomcat lies in early morning sunlight coming in through a window and over a green and beige rug with red and pink rose designs. He squints in the sunlight while grasping a blue toy mouse.
