My boss started playing it in the office yesterday to get us all pumped up before we started on phones for the day. Same thing, she's not a Swiftie normally, but this album landed for her.

I've meant to tell you, Brad, your take on this was was so far and above expectations (which are already extremely high when it comes to the three of you). I was watching this with my wife and her mom (visiting from California) and we all had a huge laugh at your drawings as they progressed.

Oh man, I used to love MATES. I was just thinking recently that I wouldn't mind doing a re-listen of the whole series.

Sizing is a giant pain. I say that as a guy, but I know how much worse it is for lady-folk.

But you make your clothing look fashionable, always. It’s never been the other way around. You have excellent style.

I’m not good at many things. But I seem to make a pretty enjoyable oatmeal scotchie.

I’ve also had this one for a couple of weeks but it has been waiting patiently while we were dealing with the basement raccoon and Erin’s mom being here for her vacation.

I really do hope to have my office in better shape soon so I can display these up there.

New one showed up yesterday (perfect birthday gift to myself). Very happy to have bought it again, Brian is a true favorite of mine.

It’s rare that I can capture all three of them in a single (admittedly crappy) photo.

Bean actually stepped on the chair briefly, but it was just on his way to his momma.

He really is pretty great. His writing is a whole new style to me. Plus it’s just fun.

Brian’s an absolute favorite of mine. I’m reading Jailbroke right now. Nunchuck City is still my favorite though.

I’ve got the original printing of this and this new version should be on its way. Even though I primarily read digitally, I want his stuff on my bookshelves.

They have a lot of other adaptations, like Tremors and Night of the Comet. But this one was essential for her.

I found this one without her knowing and have held onto it since preordering back in May. She works in our local library, I was sure she’d hear about it before it showed up.

My wife was actually hugging the copy I got for her. Immediately turned on the movie and told me this is the best thing I’ve ever given her.

I remember trying to help a client set up Outlook on his Windows phone before he finally realized it wasn't supported. Sent him back to the store to get an iPhone.

C. Christian Scott @captaintemerity.com · 12d

Totally not my thing, Brian. But if you're into it, have fun. I know you would do some crazy stuff on it.

We have boxes of it here at our offices and these people need to figure out that Caramel sells out immediately. Half the box should be the caramel bars (at least).

Good luck with your sales!

I've been on Scrivener for years. Probably still couldn't explain most of the features, but it's worked for me. Not that I'm above occasionally opening up a Google Doc and writing up a piece in there, then moving it over.

I'm a big fan of "use what's comfortable to you."

My copy is supposed to show up today. I haven't told my wife about it since I ordered it months ago. I'm extremely excited to surprise her with it.

C. Christian Scott @captaintemerity.com · 14d

God, I adore your imagination. The stuff you create is just incredible. I have a friend, very different art style, but he's always done the same thing. I look at his work and I just dream up a thousand different stories from it.

Anyway, this is just an appreciation comment. Thank you.

I'm suck on Level 39 because I don't know how to express happiness.

I wish this was a joke instead of a sad statement about my existence.

@thosedaysshow.bsky.social I was thinking about the bumpers that used to play between shows on Saturdays. I know you guys did an episode about commercials, and I think Time for Timer was brought up, but there's all these obscure ones I remember, like this:

All I can think of is the sound of the guy in Little Computer People when he's on a phone call.

I'm really enjoying the rainy weather so far. Erin's mom is visiting from California, so maybe it could have been timed better (but hasn't been bad at all really).

Good morning, Travis. Hope you have a fantastic day ahead of you.
