THE FLU

2024 hasn't been very neighborly to me so far. Got COVID for the 1st time in January and then for the past week I had the worst flu. I fell behind in tons of things I was working on, I was dizzy and depressed. I feel like I shed a few layers and came out anew... It was gross, but I'm happy to be back.

LONDON 1888

Sometimes we do theatre in the house to candlelight...

Kendralee: I want to be what you and Baron Von Saganus are, see what you see, love what you love.

Count Jaycula: Kendralee, to walk with me and my boy Saganus, you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to ours.

Kendralee: You are my love... and my life, always, and so is Saganus, he's the finest of specimens indeed dear Count.

[Expresses fangs devilishly]

Count Jaycula: Then, I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm.

SAUROPODS IN SPACE

The sauropods were a hungry bunch. So much so, they didn't have any problem traveling a bit to find a nice spot to brunch.

HITTIN THE TOWN

They just needed a night away from the parents constantly rubbing on them and telling them how cute they are. Heidi found a little nip place that looked scratchable, so they were going to start there, maybe hit the catcade, and then pick up some mousemeat tea for the morning.

CATSFERATU

The castle suddenly began to have a lot less rodent activity when his cousin Catsferatu came to stay...

COP SHOW EP. XXVI

In this episode of COP SHOW. Working homicide on the East end of Metro City, Detective Bruce Ramirez and Agent Sagan McKlusky were two cops on the edge. They had to infiltrate the seedy underground of scum and villainy in search of their perp; the Torso-Sniper. This psycho had been snipping torsos for going on 4 months now and the pressure was palpable. The problem is, where does the law end and street justice begin... (Gritty AF right?)

In Episode XXVI (TorSo-you think you can dance?) Our heroes are hot on the trail of the Torso-Sniper as his reign of terror literally rained torsos onto the dark and dewy alleyways of Metro City.

Put the kids to bed and pop some corn...

You can still catch the show on late night TV if your set goes to 4076 on the dial.

MAJUNGASAURUS

Today we are taking a look at the fierce Majungasaurus of Late Cretaceous Madagascar. This young lady is a bit cranky as she had a long list of errands to run this afternoon but the early onset of the rainy season in this otherwise sub-arid floodplain is making for a sticky commute. Although juicy sauropods were the staple of her diet, Paleontologies have discovered some evidence of cannibalism in her species. This particular girl is like "Look, I have a brood of rambuncious younglings to look after, and nest repairs to make, and it's going to be raining for like the next 100 days. Ugh... Don't be all judgy about it".

No judgement here...

KENDRA

Literally every single time we leave the house, Kendra will track down each cat and let them know that she'll be back soon and that we'll all hang out and do family stuff soon. It's cute.

X-GAMA3

Space Log:

HD 46375 - 96 LY from Earth. X-Gama3 small rocky planet just inside the habitable zone. Looked to be a desert planet from space. Mostly sedimentary rock suggests an active ancient past. Sagan and I drove 34 kilometers from the J-1 Lander looking for cool stuff, but didn't find anything. Tonight we're doing game night with the crew and eating pizza. Might as well, just pack it up for X-Gama3 and move on...

Even in space, when traveling trillions of miles at ludicrous relativistic speeds, spanning hundreds of years in space and time, jobs can become mundane and well... Old hat. A simple game night with friends talking about music, and art and terrifying mind-bending alien encounters beyond all human comprehension, can really lift the spirit.
