Happy Tuesday! The US is trying to return to work after a holiday weekend. We are having record heat here in Texas. For the people from other parts of the world, we are outside of the area affected by the recent storms. We’ve had a tornado, but we only caught the outer edge and our

The Life and Trials of Tubbs: Part 3
“Hi, my husband is here with our cat. Tall guy, dark hair?” The front desk assistant nodded. “Second door on the right.” “Thank you.” Laura walked down the hallway. Trips to the emergency vet were never fun. Just seeing the building filled her with anxiety. Of the seven girls who’d come over for the sleepover,

The Life and Trials of Tubbs: Part 2
Me: I don’t know if I will finish it. BDH: Omg, the cat, what will happen to the cat? Does the cat die? Home. Finally. Laura stepped out of the car, resisting the urge to sit down right there on the steps before the front door. So tired. With the AC out, the day just

The Life and Trials of Tubbs the Cat: Part 1
I don’t know if I will finish this or not, so read at your own risk. Based on a true story but slightly dramatized like a Lifetime movie. All names have been changed to protect the innocent. Except for the cat’s. John gave the screwdriver a final turn and tested the hose. The drain line

Storms and Characters
First things first: we are okay. The Houston storms are far away from us. Thank you for worrying. I’m sorry there was no updates. The last week was so long and busy.

Not an Announcement
Books. Not TV or film.
San Marcos Tornado
Yesterday around 8:20 pm we got a tornado warning. Meaning a tornado has been sighted. I won’t lie, it got pretty ugly. Hail the size of small apples hitting the house sideways. Oaks bending near horizontal. The storm roared there for a bit. The power cut off, and the house went pitch black. But the

We have some preliminary merch designs to show you. Those above are mockups. But these below are an actual thing. Behold, the overly expensive entrance mat! We are planning on testing it for durability. As you can see, the canine QC consultants are hard at work already.
Immortals, Merchants, and Surprise Female Awesomeness
It’s the c-drama (Chinese show) recommendation thread, by popular demand. Love Blossoms in Adversity We begin with Love Blossoms in Adversity, also listed as Blossoms in Adversity, which makes a lot less sense. It is really difficult to summarize the plot without spoilers.

Happy Friday! I come bearing gifts as any self-respecting Mod should at the end of the week. And what a week it’s been. Spiders on Mars, AI Gatorade baptisms, LA getting its own Willy’s Chocolate Experience, apocalyptic horses running through London…the Shift is probably coming, so what better way to welcoming it than with Kate?
