Heard it was officially your hatchday!

Frickin' a. Upgrading my internet crap shouldn't be the equivalent of Dante's trip through hell. Everything should be Nintendo : The Early Years - plug that shit in and it plays.

...I'm not sure if you made this or what but it was one of the first things to pop up googling 'athena cat' so it's either already yours or meant to be Happy hatchday!

I have to. She normally doesn't lick her butt while staring directly at me so we can all pretend that doesn't happen. But she will make that water dance until her paws are clean and I can't ignore the clumps settled on the bottom.

Everything tastes like raw hamburger meats.

Solutions and Other Problems - Allie Brosh 5 to go...

My cat washes her paws in her water bowl after using the litterbox. And then I have to rinse her bowl and get her fresh water because she's a stupid potty-paw.

Happy hatchday, fetus! In dog years you'd be 315. And still a fetus. Enjoy that youth!

Got new kitty ears for the fall season because why the hell not. Silver. My cat hates them. Waiting for the new season of 'As Seen On' to start in about half an hour. Debating on coffee.

Dogs don't know what a human is. We are just weird looking kangaroo-pig-like creatures that lurch about, feed them, stop moving when we drink weird things and then go on spinning weird rampages when something odd starts playing on the talking picture box that interrupts our unplanned not-moving time. Apparently whale songs on the nature channel aren't something you should have playing when you are passed out drunk on the couch.

T-shirt launcher full of tootsie rolls. You'd be surprised at the distance you can get...

I'm looking at that thing and thinking....I wouldn't be able to put it in front of my house because I live in an apartment. And putting it in front of my window would just be this giant thing blocking the sun and looking like it's peeping into the second story apartment. Plus someone would probably steal it because giant frickin' skeleton. It would end up wedged in my living room, pressed up against the window like it's trying to escape. People walking their dogs past would see that out of the corner of their eyes and crap themselves. I kinda want to do that now.

Never seen it but now that it's finished I'm hoping to catch it online free and legal somewhere. It's on my general wish-watchlist.

I really hate the fall reset of tv schedules. Just when you get used to catching a certain rerun on a certain channel on certain days, everything gets moved around.

...I think the author Allie Brosh [ 'Hyperbole and a Half' ] is an old [asmb]er. 😮 Anyhow, I picked up the latest Dresden File and saw she had a new book out - 'Solutions and Other Problems' . It's mine now. The table of contents are very interesting... There is no four! O.O Also 'Poop Mystery' screams IB. Also Bucket although that's about a 3-year-old's quest to fit her entire self into a small bucket no matter what. Which actually does sort of fit with bucket's general behavior of ending up a screaming bucket-crab in a corner waiting for rescue and not learning a dang thing. Basically, we claim her as our own now. Gooble Gobble Gooble Gobble. Discuss!... *disclaimer - if Allie Brosh actually is an active member of the boards for reals and all, this is not to be taken as a declaration to out oneself. Stay unknown because you already know we're a feral group.

Tonsils or strep? Going with the easier to deal with stuff.

Yes, that sequence. Non-verbal storyboarding isn't as easy as it looks. Never heard or played that game. But if she is vaguely based on that character and that character is dead in the game, that solidifies my thought even more that Morty was locked in one of Rick's mini-verse scenarios and everyone he interacted with were just clones or holograms or both since time goes slower in those things and no real amount of time seems to have been spent from the first button press to the vat of acid otherwise Beth for sure would have said something.

Oh yeah, they did it on purpose. When they were renovating the apartment, I had to close her in the bedroom whenever they were in here and she would go absolutely ballistic under the door. Strangers in her territory must die. She continued that flailing under the regular door towards any and all shadows passing by which was pretty funny unless she managed to snag you. So maintenance installed heavy duty rubber flaps on my door on the inside so she couldn't bend or rip through them to continue her defense of the door mat. She's attacked two fire marshals doing the yearly inspections because they entered when I wasn't around and tried to kill some vet techs during a bladder infection episode. And yet, she can be such a cuddler when she wants to. The last thing those fire marshals saw before fleeing my apartment and leaving a shoe in the middle of the hallway -

Without a doubt, the reset was going to happen. The device wouldn't have survived the crash if there wasn't going to be that moment where it gets hit again. Also worth noting is that Rick is absent for virtually all of it. Technically he could have found Morty at any time. He could have also taken the device after the rescue and disarmed it or even confiscated it prior to the flight. But he's not even at the hospital or the welcome back party. He's sitting in the garage waiting it out. Morty was always going to end up in the vat.

I think it was the nonverbal sequence that bought the gold for the episode.

Bitchcakes is my little protective terror too. Maintenance installed heavy rubber flaps to the inside of my apartment door to keep her from reaching out into the hallway and shredding anyone who dared to get too close to my door.

My Hero Academia Smash! #5 - Hirofumi Neda 6 to go... I've been reading my backlog of Psychology Today magazines during my lunch breaks lately otherwise I'd be done with my goal by now. Feeling ridiculously lazy about things. But the next Dresden File novel comes out on Tuesday...

Story Train was good, a much better and more cohesive version of either interdimensional cable or mind blowers. I actually found the slut dragon episode [ cringy at times but ] entertaining. A dragon's hoard being comprised of a lot of 'crap' because humans treasure it is strangely relatable. Plus, what the hell did that cat do that even Rick got sick and suicidal? Most of the episodes had something to note at least. If I had to pick a 'favorite' it would probably be the finale just because I keep going back to it mentally. But I can see the why behind both of those episodes getting noticed. Both of them may have their full share of silly crap but they also illustrate slightly serious and actual issues. Rick turns himself into a pickle purely to avoid family therapy time. Dr. Wong's statement on his avoidance when he finally does show up and speak frankly about his feelings on it all summarized it bluntly but without seeming to lecture the audience. It was a strangely serious turn on an episode with a sentient pickle which in turn led to the eventual personal more open communication between Rick and Beth. The Vat of Acid is all about consequences. Morty calls Rick out on his weirdly elaborate vat trick and demands his idea of a reset device finally be considered. He chooses to go out and have his fun rather than getting any further instructions from Rick about the hows of it all. I actually felt that the entire non-verbal montage from the point where he meets a real girlfriend until Jerry hits the reset button and Morty loses that entire life was very well boarded and was likely the deciding factor for this episode being picked for consideration. Morty thinks he's learned the 'lesson' that Rick meant to teach him by just giving in to his whim only to find out that he's been a selfish monster the entire time, killing hypothetical Mortys with every push of the button which he would have known had he taken the time to just think about it and ask Rick before running off. Rick's original vat of acid would have kept him from having to kill those gangsters, everyone would have gone on their merry ways, and things would have remained neutral. Rick isn't normally opposed to killing but he tends to have a reason for it when it comes to individuals and those gangsters obviously weren't worth it and / or are connected somewhere to something Rick needs in the future. But Morty's impatience and inability to think about why Rick would bother with such a passive ruse ruined it. Hence in the end, Morty has to embrace the vat of acid he dissed in the beginning since it's elaborate yet simple design allows for only one person to pay a price - the guy jumping in. Actions have consequences.
