Went to a funeral today for Krissy's uncle, Ron. He was a good guy and had a well-lived life. Tell the people you love that you love them, okay? Thanks. Here's a dog and cat, living together.

News is coming to me via friends on Facebook, and via Fancyclopedia, that John Varley, who wrote Millennium, Steel Beach, and the Gaea trilogy (Titan, Wizard, Demon) has died. He was an excellent writer in the Campbell/Heinlein tradition, and I dug him a lot in my teens and early 20s. RIP.

My fantasy football team finished first in the regular season, two games up on the next team. That and $6 will get you a non-Starbucks-because-you're-not-a-scab latte; it means nothing if I flub in the playoffs. Still for now I will bask in the computer's achievement, since it picked my team for me.

On the subject of typefaces, a fun thing I've learned today: If you put the name of a typeface into Google, it will at least sometimes give you the results in the typeface you're asking about. I don't know if that's dependent on having the typeface already on your computer; still cool.

DEEPLY disappointed that these K-Pop Demon Hunter Vans slip-ons with Derpy Tiger on one shoe and Sussy Bird on the other are only in kid sizes, topping out at side 7. I have smallish feet, but not THAT small.

The Gretsch in question is the boygenius Broadkaster jr, which was a limited run and now costs used roughly two and a half times what I paid for it new. It's a really nice guitar. Here are the details on it:
