A Zohran-style text logo. It says SYMPATHY for MR. VENGEANCE.

I get a lot of Republican spam "from" Winsome Earle-Sears, and all I can see in my head is this guy.

I did finally look them up, but I will not be updating my mental image at this time.

I don’t know how much hearing the Franz Ferdinand show cost me, but it was totally worth it.

My only real regret is not being down in the pit for Take Me Out, because that looked like a blast.

Andy. Andrew. Anders. “MIS-ter Anderson” (in your best Agent Smith voice). Andross. Androshka. Fluffy Butt.

Buddy.

It’s just so hard to get good bagels in some places.
Two slices of sandwich bread on a plate. Each slice has a giant hole in the middle from an air pocket during baking.

It’s more of a table than a shelf, but the principle applies.
Several books on a black table. - “Braiding Sweetgrass”, Kimmerer - “Collected Fictions”, Borges - “Saving Time”, Odell - “The disappearance of ritual”, Han - “The Human Use of Human Beings”, Weiner - “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest”, Larsson - “Absolution”, VanderMeer

My family/parents usually went with “human” names for cats: Anna, Harry, Jane, Molly, Max, Jasper, Gus, Vinnie, Jack.

I’m partial to Andy though because he’s mine.

“Broken Heart” (David Lynch, 2013)
Mixed media painting by the late Davis Lynch. A large speech bubble in the center of the painting, with a crude figure to the right. The speech bubble says “ow”. On the left are three glowing LED lights.

I never understood Winamp people. Why have a little rectangle for my music when I could have THIS??
Three Sonique skins, all with wild window shapes. The first one looks like melted gold dribbled on a cold table. The second one is sleek and gray, but with buzzsaws for some reason. The last is green with dangling cables piping colorful fluids, presumably low bitrate ska.

Dang, I’d forgotten how hard the artwork for Phoenix (1983) went. Armored, rocket-firing hawks! Planet-sized bird temples! EXPLOSIONS!
Artwork of a space scene. A flock of armored raptors with glowing red eyes fly at the viewer. An enormous, bird-shaped structure with spread wings floats in the background. Many planets float around it, but one planet is clearly between us and the temple suggesting it must be truly titanic.

Yoshi’s Island (1995) stands out because something was broken with our SNES (or TV?) and it couldn’t show color. I played the entire first world in grayscale before we fixed it. Seeing the game in full color for the first time was mind-blowing.

Great news for my Hole Family.
A spam email. Subject: "An offer from eCOVERAGE" Preview: "get protection for the hole family", but "hole" is spelled like "hole in the ground".

I hope these pictures of Andy help. He just wants to be close.
An orange cat peeking over the edge of a couch. He clearly wants up. A top-down view of an orange, long-haired cat on a couch. He’s looking up at a person who’s visible but mostly out of frame. He’s pressing one paw against the person's hip.

An extremely stoic hawk being jeered by a gang of crows.
A tree silhouetted against a gray sky. A large hawk is toward the center of the photo. Several crows are visible, one in flight across the top left of the image.

Disturbed Andy’s nap last night and got a little blep out of it.
A long-haired orange cat facing the viewer with his eyes closed and his tongue sticking out a bit. The same shot as previous, but with his eyes open

So much knowledge to be found in used bookstores.
A row of used books on a shelf. The two centered books are “Give the Lady What She Wants!” and “Practice of Lubrication”.

“Grimdull” is such a great word for it.

https://thecritic.co.uk/grimdull/
“One could ask where deep reflections on social class take place in Moorcock’s work, which mostly features mentally-ill aristocrats with magic swords and a loose conception of the value of human life, but it is enough not to sentimentalise. So long as you make your protagonists “flawed”, and your universe sufficiently chaotic, allegory can safely fall away, charges of conservatism are seen off and you can get back (with some relief) to the business of telling stories about magic, girls in towers and chopping off heads.”

Well good morning to you too, IKEA.
A couch on its back. Its wooden leg, split end-to-end, sits atop it.
