Oh sure, but when I find a sunny spot and have deep thoughts, you're like "Nick, get the heck out of my house! How did you get in here, anyway?"

Why does the cat get a pass?

Ooh, thank you for reminding me Episode 2 is out. I watched Ep 1 the other day and totally forgot about 2.

Two black cats sit on my lap.
Left: Tuff (or Tuff's butt, anyway)
Right: Ruff (facing the camera)

A heaping load of tofu fried rice in a pan on the stove. It's so overloaded, it looks like it could spill over with every stir.

Behold! I made tofu fried rice tonight for the first time ever.

It was so yummy, I had two bowls, and shared some with my roommate and his partner.

If he experienced a horrible accident where his dick was mangled beyond repair and had to be removed, I wonder if he'd still consider himself a man?

I can't believe people can just wave around their Giant-Sized Man-Thing like that without getting flagged by moderators.

I like Prometheus in his Morrison JLA appearances, but he's largely a 90s relic, complete with a CD in his helmet to upload the right skills straight into his brain.

I wonder if Modern Prometheus has a Plex server in his helmet? ๐Ÿค”

I liked him for his Morrison JLA appearances, but that's it. He's not a character that's aged particularly well. A relic of his time.

That's easier to remember.

So, I finally started reading ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER and wow.

Yeah, I see now why it topped a lot of people's lists last year. I must have spent a full five minutes staring at the last page of issue #1. Never seen that done before and it absolutely cannot be experienced in a digital format.

I ran the latest session of my TMNT tabletop RPG tonight. I basically had two directions planned. The players chose the direction I hadn't quite fully planned for, but it worked out great, anyway.

I also ended it on a massive cliffhanger that I didn't plan, but fell upon right at the end. ๐Ÿ˜

Is there a new Critical Role? Maybe they're colossal nerds.

Random Doctor Who thought:

I wish we could have had more of The Doctor (Eccelston), Rose, and Captain Jack. As a trio, they were a great dynamic bordering on throuple energy.

Look, I'm not a math expert so I probably would have gotten this wrong, too.

But I'm also not the EDUCATION MINISTER who should bloody well know the difference between large percentages.

"Tell me what you REALLY think about me!"

Share a panel that makes you smile?

"Tell me what you REALLY think about me!" Share a panel that makes you smile?

A comic book panel featuring a white dog with a blue collar and red Cape. He's coming out of a smoking crater, saying "ROWWFF!"

Krypto never fails to make me smile, but this panel after he smashed down to Earth like a meteor and popping out ready to play is always at the top of my list.

What was the first comic you ever read?

I'm pretty sure it was a Marvel Transformers comic. I bought them for awhile, but I didn't seriously hunt for more issues.

I didn't get fully hooked and collecting comics until the Death of Superman TPB.

I still can't believe Marvel waved around their giant-sized Man-Thing on screen.

Anonymous messages! Anonymous messages!

Stealing this idea from @annecomics.bsky.social. I'm also feeling depressed. I took another mental health day.

Send me an anonymous message. Right now, it says "tell me what you really think about me," but I might change that.

Younger me would've been excited for this.

Then Ron Glass passed away.
Adam Baldwin revealed himself to be a Republican asshole.
Joss Whedon was outed as a monster.
Fillion reportedly sexually harassed several colleagues.

It's far too late to revive Firefly now, especially given all that.

My usual functional depression wasn't functioning.

You know how there's always an old Trump quote accusing someone else of doing something when he does exactly that in the present?

Yeah, I really hope this quote doesn't become one of those.
