But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I’m planning on checking out Shift Notes and Hwat and whatever else they’ve got on the Patreon once I get to that point.

I keep meaning to check out Shift Notes and Hwat, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I need to find out if the voice actor for Terrick of York does other podcasts, because I would listen to that man read the phone book.

I guess he’s also Tavrok Stormbringer? Yeah, would be glad to hear more from him, what a voice

Ahahaha, Tavrok is awesome!

I love when, in the episode where they meet again, Clementine asks "Did I make you American???"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Biopsy~ma for your mother, erikaj.

My holiday calendar is really filling up. I went to a holiday party at my nephew’s friend’s place Saturday, I’m running over to my niece’s place in WI for her daughter’s dance recital this coming weekend, then some holiday lights thing at a local renfaire and a college theater Christmas Carol performance the following week, and a Christmas Eve party at my nephew’s in-laws. If I had a job on top of this I’d be exhausted.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Lots of activity at my bird feeder this morning.

The reds: house finch, cardinal, red-bellied woodpecker

The blues: blue jays, bluebirds

They are making the house sparrows and the dark-eyed juncoes look drab.

Squirrels are being a nuisance -- as always.

Birds, yay!

That is a lot, Calli. I hope it’s more fun than working!

I am weirdly shocked that a Buddy the Elf costume got twice as much as an Indiana Jones fedora at auction

Our wings are not tired.

My mom always had bird feeders (which would get batted at by bears!), but I have had cats for so many years it seemed a bad idea. In NY the cat goes outside so she has a bell to give fair warning to birds, which works great. Here she goes out on the balcony and only a couple birds have been stupid enough to land in reach.

Mostly I see seagulls, pelicans, parrots, and doves here. Love the crazy noisy parrots, but I haven't seen a lot recently.
