Nice little shop in Midland, Ontario that sells about a dozen different strains of catnip, plus necessary gimmick accessories like cat sunglasses and motorcycle helmets.
Picked up some "AKAT-47" and "Fake Mews" for our cat Ludwig to try, because the "Purrcatory" and "Fuzz Aldrin" were all sold out.

4 panel comic.
Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”
Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

Motion-blurred, fish-eyed photo of a tiger *leaping* out of the back of pickup truck, where a carrying container has been opened, onto hard-packed earth, its enormous front paws just slightly off the ground; a few other parked trucks are visible at the horizon

@davidl Stolen from replies to Derf's post, I admit.
There is a more reassuring photo of her along the nearby wetland, or river.

For some reason, Copper Blue is the default album that will play from my iPhone if I plug it into a USB device like a mid-2010s car stereo. For years, that meant every time I got into our Honda Pilot and plugged in the USB cable, that opening guitar and drums of "The Act We Act" would blast through the speakers (remember, back then radios still had volume knobs and it would remember where you left it.)
9 out of 10 times that would startle the fuck out of me.
And yet, still have never ever got tired of hearing it.
Cars and bluetooth devices are a little smarter now so this rarely happens anymore but reminds me that I haven't sat down with that entire album in a while.
Copper Blue is one of the all time great albums, IMHO.

This is the first time this desk has been clean in about ten years. It normally has my 3D printer, but I made way for a snapmaker u1 I ordered, which should arrive tomorrow if I refresh the delivery status page enough.

that desk appears to be wincing from the bright light.

This reminds me of the part in Amelie where her dad loves cleaning out his workbench. I always back that part up and rewatch.

Odysseus and his men look upon a giant emerging from a cave whose large eye peers at them. The greek soldiers run away in fear, each of them having just one eye. It turns out that the giant "biclops" (freakish to them) has two eyes.

A photo of a set of five small brown stairs leading down from a gray retaining wall. At the top of the stairs is a small, black chicken.
Last year we had a new deck, driveway, and patio built. It kind of changed the pathways into our backyard, necessitating these steps. Over the course of a couple days my wife and I built them. I’m sore and tired, but I think they turned out pretty well (and mostly level and square😅).
Wise move to let the chicken test them first.
excellent work!

Yes to home improvement.
I will always high five and hurray a DIY project. Well done! High five and hurrah!!!
@ufez I think I have made it easier for them to get up on the driveway! Not sure that’s a good thing.

One of my favorite Japanese jazz bands is Soil & "Pimp" Sessions, self-described "death jazz". It's probably the crimey-ist jazz I know.

@mikenmar That's great! Boy, their name is *terrible*.
@snarkout It's in the tradition of bizarre Japanese band names. There are far worse! Search for "weirdest Japanese band names".

long story - I am listening to a book (the Dungeon Crawler Carl series) and there is one character who is narrated with a really heavy and bad french accent (that's a longer story I won't tell, read the books.) anyway, there is a part where she says "Hello is everybody dead" followed by something I can't make out. so I decided to Google it to see if someone on the internet quoted it, since this series is gigantic. Google's AI overview intervened and provided me with some priceless support and advice.
"Helllloooo! Is everybody dead? Are any of you lizards here?"

album art: a black and white photo on a white background, repeating in overlapping layers of partial transparency. the photo itself is of a barren tree and a dead end sign at the end of a road, with a fog-covered barren field behind it.
happy friday, and happy mediocre-at-best-archival-release day!
as mentioned previously (https://mltshp.com/p/1RTWO), i've got three new-old/old-new ones out today, just in time for bandcamp friday.
these were early song sketches from a 2015 windmills recording session, rescued from the digital void by my dear friend / lifelong collaborator dereck, all cleaned up and sent out into the world.
not much else to say that i didn't already say in the last post, but as sloppy as they are, i hope there's a little spirit of what i'm trying to do in these tracks. it's been an inspiration to pick up the guitar and start writing again. maybe that will translate into some new-new tracks down the road.
until then, enjoy! or don't!

The temperature has dipped in Denver for the last few days and the back deck has been the best place for morning coffee.

Barred owl perched on a tree branch.
Barred Owl has been hanging around the cottage this week. Let us get quite close today.
whoaaaaaaa you have been bless't by his presence
who?
a superb owl!
@jive_t cooks for you?
Love these guys, miss seeing/hearing them as often as we used to at the old place

They're very attacky at night, ask me how I know
@mcmjolnir shouldn't have tried to talking to his gal, dude
We've got one or two in our neighborhood (according to Merlin, anyway) and I haven't been able to see them yet but they're audible all hours of the day and night. They can get crazy loud when they feel like it.
@ardgedee this one's still juvenile (i think) so screeching call has indeed been waking me up at various times throughout the night. Far fewer ocurrances of the more pleasant "who-cooks-for-you"
@pk pretty sure it was the mama

We sent this as our invitation... in a tube. It's 3 feet tall. We have it in a frame in our living room and everything :). My friend, Brodsky, who is the bravest graphic artist I have yet to meet helped me crush the design. A friend of ours, Elke was a CD at an agency where she had these printed for us. We stuck them in tubes and USPSed them out for a couple of bucks each.
It was a wonderful wedding. We had $0 to spend on it. Most of the money wound up going to the New Leaf Cafe. They were in Fort Tryon Park in way north NYC. They hadn't opened yet, so we cut a deal with them using us as a practice event with a buffet with a pay-bar. We put goldfish in take home bowls on the tables instead of flowers. Heather found a gorgeous thrift store gown. We used the venues speakers with a random playlist and that was that.
A friend of ours who was a freelance philosopher and now teaches at Oxford, gave a dissertation on marriage that I cannot remember a word of because I was holding my new wife's hand and sweating in my suit jacket in the usual sweaty August of the city. Fuck it was hot. But that just led to people giving up the usual wedding stuffiness. A lot of clothes went missing almost immediately.
We gave everyone point and shoot cameras, called in a favor for some portraits and table shots. The photographer completely failed, saying "I've never been at an event where I couldn't get people to stop laughing long enough to take a group photo". He was pretty drunk when he said it.
We had a cake with Wonder Woman and The Tick on top that we brought. We had totally forgotten about it, but saw it when we started happily saying goodbye to everyone.

A billion congratulations, my friend. What a glorious artifact.
Yes much love, forever!!!!
That's just so lovely. Thank you for sharing!
This tale of amazing-ness is simply wonderful! Happy anniversary.
That's awesome. I love interesting weddings. I am pretty sure that interesting weddings require a certain amount of poverty to properly happen.
What a great story. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats!
Yay to continued love!
congratulations!
SPOON! Happy Anniversary!
Fantastic design and wedding planning. Here’s to a long shared life filled with many more such delights.
Thanks everyone!
