Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.

I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
A giant bouquet of flowers made of Legos. They are roses, snap dragons, lavender, aster, California Poppy, and common daisy.

So far, I have managed to identify several cursed objects and sell them to people. I have no idea why the owner was worried about leaving me in charge. The cat is getting the best care ever.

I should probably never be left in charge of an occult shop or, on the other hand, maybe I should be left in charge of the occult shop.

White guy: Yes, I would like a ring made of rat bones that hisses when you hold it.

Me: What the hell is wrong with you?

Like people just call you, and it's Roger from the Dairy farm, and he wants you to know the cows found something weird, and it turns out to be something occultish.

There are a disturbing amount of cursed antiquities in this town

Kind of want to close the shop and just hang with this cat until the boss gets back

Boss, can you come back so I can just go back to petting the cat and cleaning the store?

The game actually made a note that you hate holding this... okay, my boss was right, I should not have been in charge of the antiquities shop.

So far, only white men have visited the shop asking for very specific things, and I think I might be dooming the universe by selling them the things they are asking for

I'm the type of person who accidentally curses an entire community because I polished a stone containing a demon.

The shop owner is reluctant to leave me in charge, and I don't blame him since all I want to do is pet the cat and keep things tidy.

I'm sorry I can't open the shop until I'm done petting the shop cat.

Not that you needed more incentives but the shop contains a cat and you can pet it.

I'm taking all my notes with my Hello Kitty fountain pen as any proper occultist does.

The nib....
A Hello Kitty fountain pen nib with Hello Kitty engraved on it. The nib is attached to a lilac colored fountain pen

I have a 3 day weekend, and the spouse is playing a show out of town, so I'm starting the game Strange Antiquities.

The game really hates Poe, and that might be a me problem, but it's still a problem

Me: Recommends classic Poe

Customer: This isn't appropriate for kids!!!

Me: THIS IS LITERALLY REQUIRED READING IN CLASSROOMS YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!!!

The only thing I have against the Tiny Book game is when someone wants poetry, and I recommend Shakespeare, and they respond with, "But I wanted poetry."

Excuse you I just gave you the best poet in the world save for Kendrick now shut the fuck up and read.

Good Reads: I want poetry! That's a play, not poetry.

Friends... plays can be poetry

Another update on my Tiny Bookshop review, someone wanted a book like Telltale Heart and got mad when I recommended Cask of Amontillado because it wasn't gory enough. Girl... he sealed a guy behind a wall. What more do you want?

I've gotten almost all the trophies except 2 on Tiny Bookshop, and I definitely plan to replay it. My only criticism is that when it comes to book recommendations is that it reminds me of Good Reads.

When the construction happened to the major road connecting to the one in Coralville, I stopped going because it literally took me 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot.

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices

Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil

Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world

Founder2: ok that works

Look, if there's one thing we learned out of this, it's that some of these costumes van apparently withstand pepper balls, and that's just useful information.

As a Cubs fan, I will not be mad if the Bluejays or the Mariners win. I get it. It's your turn.
