Nine albums that were important to me. Available in accessible format at https://my9albums.org/s/b65609f6b995
I could listen to any of these albums, on repeat, forever.

I love my balcony
alt text
It overlooks a medium-busy street in a neighborhood of Seattle, so I can still people watch. I love the oaks right in front of the building that make my view green and lush, (they do have cankerworm problems, but nothing's perfect) and even in the winter, give enough of a natural feel that the place doesn't feel sterile. It's a nice mix of urbanity and green space.
I'm on the second floor, and the balcony is this fun not-quite outside and not-quite inside in between space. Like, It's ambient temperature and noise, so I need to wear warm clothing in the winter, but I can leave things outside and not worry about them getting messed with. (within reason)
I've got a Sarracenia pitcher plant on the table. It deals perfectly well with this temperature zone, so it'll go dormant in winter and come back in the spring. There's (mostly unproductive) strawberry in one of the floor planters that gives me a few of the tastiest berries every year, and a bunch of shiso plants next to it, which are great for sushi. In the little hanging pot, there's a hens and chicks plant, and some native ferns (sword and deer ferns) in the planter on the railing. I have another planter sitting unused, and I want to hang it on the railing above the strawberries.
Any suggestions as to what I should put in there? More ferns?

I've been pretty happy with my dwarf cosmos. I did almost everything wrong and they're still putting out flowers this week.

(maybe) my 9 albums
alt text
A 3 by 3 grid of albums that have influenced me and maybe mark the different styles of music I listen to based on the first album I heard in that genre.
Albums:
- Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd
- People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, by A Tribe Called Quest
- Repeater, by Fugazi
- Endtroducing..., by DJ Shadow
- Tortoise's self-titled first album
- Ragin' Full On, by fIREHOSE
- Sheik Yerbouti, by Frank Zappa
- Rock for Light, by Bad Brains
- Brilliant Corners, by Thelonious Monk

- Ragin' Full On, by fIREHOSE
- Sheik Yerbouti, by Frank Zappa
- Rock for Light, by Bad Brains
- Brilliant Corners, by Thelonious Monk
All of these are primarily the first album I heard of an artist I still listen to today and styles or genres I really branched off from.
Sheik Yerbouti isn't that great of a Zappa album, but it was the first one of his I bought and heard. He has some amazing music here and there, but some has maybe not survived recent listens.
If there was a 10th spot, it'd probably go to Sleep's "Dopesmoker" as in recent years the droning stoner/doom metal bands have come into repeated rotation. The 11th spot would probably go to someone like Aphex Twin or Squarepusher, though I don't listen to as much electronic music these days.

as a chicken keeper, the joke makes perfect sense because they do what they want and are very sassy

A large robot haphazardly constructed from boxes and rods wanders across a purple landscape. The sky is purple, with an orange glow on the horizon. The robot has a number of yellow-green lights on its various parts. The robot's head has a large round green eye, and a neon-green halo attached to its head. At the end of one of its arms is a hand. The other arm has a tool with a glowing light on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A space-tug sounds awesome until you see what they're going to use for the tugging. I wouldn't want that anywhere near my junk.

I Miss This Action...
Paint Viking
alt text
Some idiot wearing goggles, a respirator, a headlamp, a full-body protective suit and a costume viking helmet, peering down toward the camera.
I've been deep in homeowner DIY-world the past few weeks, doing mold remediation work throughout the house, recently painting parts of our ancient basement. When I put on the full protective gear, I thought it would be funny to take a selfie for my family. I also noticed a costume viking helmet nearby, so added that to the gear. This snap was accidental, I was checking the timer settings when I got it. It makes me laugh, like I'm some demented Muppet Show character.
I've been in my atticand crawl space a ton lately while we're remodeling our kitchen so I clearly need to up my mask and eye pro game with some costume action!
