Those cheeks aren’t going to clap themselves

Life

Mixed. One is approaching the rainbow bridge. Our third to leave us this year. She’s been battling canine cushing’s for ages. Something internal has been bothering her recently. Vet says it’s not likely to be something minor. We made the call to say goodbye in four days.

The other one is peachy. She’s 12 too and still has her puppy face. The fact that her back legs don’t work really doesn’t faze her much. She’s slowing down though, especially this last half of the year. We anticipate saying goodbye to her this coming year.

I kept some paper logs of what was needed where. Mostly for building things, but also for deliveries. I was trying to be relatively efficient in hauling stuff around.

Tunic

Elite Dangerous

Death Stranding

Detroit: Become Human

Gris

Stray

Might scope out the forums and comments sections at Ars Technica. There’s a wealth of information from a ton of the regulars.

Suzy Eddie Izzard. The show is Dress To Kill (1998)

Really good show, imo.

Looks like a contrail from one or more airplanes near the same altitude of the clouds.

People who wear sunglasses indoors. I get fluorescent or bright led lights bother some folks, but it still screams asshole to me.

I’ve used Blue Nile several times and had no issues at all. Looks like they have a bunch of Sapphires

Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.

Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

That hurts on a visceral level at first glance

I’ve personally never seen it. It looks pretty interesting from the overview. At first glance, it seems there is a very plausible argument for it being considered sci-fi. I feel like there might be a 12 Monkeys sort of vibe to it. Nice suggestion, thanks!

Excellent mention of 13th floor and moon. Patlabor too. Nice!

Excellent mention of the og Mario brothers. Dark city too. Well done!

IMDB Natural City

I was running a video rental store at the time and discovered it as one of our new release foreign titles.

For me would have to be:

Johnny Mnemonic

District 9

Mars Attacks

Natural City

Pacific Rim

*Edit to add 12 Monkeys

Naturally, I didn’t take notes when I made them. I’m pretty sure I stayed mostly in the mulling spices range: allspice, black peppercorns, clove, cardamom. I’m pretty sure I put in a few coriander and mustard seeds too. Could always add in some cinnamon or nutmeg/mace. Also pretty sure I used plain distilled white vinegar, but I bet apple cider vinegar would be an interesting variation.

They made a nice accompaniment to charcuterie and even ice cream.

Meyer lemons, cherries, blueberries, shallots, garlic, eggs, okra, green beans, watermelon.

I hear pickled pigs feet are tasty, but I have yet to try them.
