Reading The Bald Eagle by Jack E. Davis
The nineteenth-century naturalist John Burroughs, an essayist in the Thoreauvian tradition, spoke eloquently of the bald eagle's range. He wrote, "[The] continent is his home. I never look upon one without emotion; I follow him with my eye as long as I can. I think of Canada, of the Great Lakes, of the Rocky Mountains, of the wild and sounding sea-coast. The waters are his, and the woods and the inaccessible cliffs. He pierces behind the veil of the storm, and his joy is height and depth and vast spaces."

I don't have the old post anymore, but I took this screenshot one year ago today

The English Kuriboh cards usually use the word "detonate"! It's normally only used when talking about bombs and mines. But it's also a more formal word than "explode" or "blow up". In your comic, you wrote "blew up like mines", which to me is the way Jounouchi would say it! 😊

excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: "If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race," returned the Ghost, "will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief. "Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust!"

I'm always delighted by how plump mergansers are when you can actually see their bodies
Photo of two male common mergansers in water. The one on the right is swimming normally and the one on the left is reared back, flapping his wings and exposing his rounded white belly. He looks a little bit like a bowling pin

Crate and Barrel was selling these nice plates for Year of the Snake and we got a few of them in January. I don't like the upcoming Year of the Horse design as much, but I'll probably get some since my husband is a snake and I'm a horse

can't get over how handsome Fredric March was in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, goddamn
Four scenes from the black and white film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931). Fredric March (as Dr. Jekyll) has a pipe in his mouth while he focuses intently on making his concoction in the lab Jekyll sitting in a silky-looking men's dressing gown, looking kind of haggard and tired Jekyll simmering with rage while he strokes the head of a crying woman (Ivy Pierson, played by Miriam Hopkins) Jekyll kneeling in front of a desk with a desperate expression on his face

After his stress meter fills up, Dr. Jekyll will transform into Mr. Hyde.
excerpt from the Wikipedia article for the NES game Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Gameplay and premise In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll is on the way to his forthcoming wedding to Miss Millicent. The game's ending depends on which character, Jekyll or Hyde, reaches the church first. As Dr. Jekyll walks to the church with his cane in hand, several townspeople, animals, and other obstacles obstruct his path, causing him to become angry. After his stress meter fills up, Dr. Jekyll will transform into Mr. Hyde. The gameplay then moves to a demonic world, where Hyde will fire out a "psycho wave" at various monsters. As Mr. Hyde kills these monsters, his anger abates and he eventually transforms back into Dr. Jekyll. [screenshot captioned "Gameplay in Dr. Jekyll mode, walking through town"]

incredible
From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by-street of shops. In the morning before office hours, at noon when business was plenty, and time scarce, at night under the face of the fogged city moon, by all lights and at all hours of solitude or concourse, the lawyer was to be found on his chosen post. "If he be Mr. Hyde," he had thought, "I shall be Mr. Seek."

Last night we watched The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and I really liked this art from the movie poster

We’re listening to Spanish covers of Christmas songs and this translation is so ominous
Él sabe de ti, él sabe de mí (He knows about you, he knows about me) Él lo sabe todo no intentes huir (He knows everything, don't try to run away) Santa Claus llegó (Santa Claus has come) Santa Claus llegó (Santa Claus has come) Santa Claus Ilegó a la ciudad (Santa Claus has come to town)
