Woke up from a nap and am convinced my skin smells like mildew. Took a shower, pretty sure it's not a real thing, just a brain thing.

Throwback art! Before I did foiled prints, I dabbled in shrink plastic art! This alpaca keychain was for a good friend!

My tiny dog often goes to bed really early and then decides it’s time for me to go to bed too. She barks more and more impatiently while I yell “YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!” She always wins though.

But I have thought of a brilliant gambit: “GO TELL HR ABOUT IT!”

This seems to have stumped her. HA!

I would argue that a primary disqualifier for a Nobel Peace Prize is "Doing things to win the prize, rather than to bring peace". The recognition may be awesome, but if you're helping humanity just for the plaudits, you do not represent the current spirit of the award.

‘You cannot undo a wrongful execution’: push to halt killing of Texas man in ‘shaken baby’ case

"We and our co-authors of a book examining the SBS hypothesis also believe the objective medical evidence proves that Roberson’s chronically ill toddler, Nikki, died from natural and accidental causes, not abuse."

Realizing there's a good chance the neighbor kids will actually come to my door in costumes. This is probably the best part of getting to know them.

Finished microwaving the bag of marshmallow spaghetti I got, considering moving onto gummi worms my partner got. My goal this year is to see how many halloween candies my partner lets me microwave. I feel like whoppers could be fun.

Two new friends from Final Fantasy colony. These are actually a little older than Cloud’s litter, their mama must have been hiding them away in the woods until recently. I only saw these two, time will tell if more from this litter will appear. They’re curious & not super spicy. Meet Selphie & Rinoa

Pic is of a non-lego brand Hello Kitty and Friends set called Kuromi's haunted house. Kuromi is a goth rabbit character. The house is done in lavenders, pinks, and dark purples and blues. It's got ornate windows, spooky decorations, and inside there's a fireplace, grandfather clock, seance table.

My partner sent me this set to work on while they're gone. I've got the walls up, but four more bags of pieces.
