Flavor Flav at the Olympics is giving me LIFE
alt text
a still from a video of a happy Flavor Flav cheering at Women's Skeleton. He is wearing an official U.S.A. bobsled & skeleton coat, white sunglasses, a winter trapper hat with ear flaps down, and customary large Flavor Flav necklaces. He is giving a thumbs up to the camera.
First of all was his showing up & supporting the women's polo team in '24 after he found out they needed financial help, and now he's there as an official sponsor and "hype man" for the bobsled & skeleton teams . . . EXCUSE ME, official member of the team: https://bsky.app/profile... (That link is a video of him decked out in competition clothes going down the skeleton track. Yes!)
He's so into it! He's having such a good time! And he's so obviously there to cheer on and support the athletes: it's SUCH A GOOD. I love it *so goddamn much*.

Aside from this magnificent cake, they sung happy birthday in four parts, each an entirely new song made up on the spot. Then they gave me the old guitar hero guitar (OMG!) with some games for it.
Also that's a cool table. Yours?
Happy, birthday, Al!
Happy happy birthday! What a marvelous family!
excuse me but your magic hole smells of fish

Photo of a frypan and lid in their box on a store shelf. The product name is "Magic Hole" and the picture on the box shows the frypan with the lid partially on, containing a cooked whole fish and some vegetables in it, and arrows pointing to vents where the handle attaches to the pan. The manufacturer's name is "Kitchen Flower". Below "Magic Hole" is Korean:
"매직홀 생선팬 27X21cm • 가스레인지 전용"
"매직홀 생선팬 27X21cm • 가스레인지 전용"
That’s a good one.
The brand name isn’t helping either.
it has a vent on the same side as the handle... so when you are holding the pan, your knuckles are getting scorched with steam. nice.
Now just think about what you did.

There is a board game called Hot Streak that is a betting game involving mascot races. It’s unbelievably silly and fun. I ran a game with my kiddo and their friends and it was an absolute hoot.

if you were looking for a hellscape diversion from the hellscape: fallout community edition
alt text
four-panel collage of screenshots: interplay's 1997 title "fallout: a post-nuclear role playing game" is shown running on MacOS. from top to bottom: 1) the title screen, which shows the menacing atompunk-meets medieval power armor helmet and a ruined cityscape, with the menu items displayed as mechanical push-button items on a steel console panel (intro, new game, load game, credits, exit); 2) the character creation page, showing the SPECIAL character traits, skills and optional traits 3) an animated segment from the initial conversation with the overseer, showing a clunky vacuum tube device called "the water chip" over a circuit blueprint; 4) the isometric playfield, featuring the main character in his skin-tight lightning blue jumpsuit, walking through the early settlement of shady sands.
i hadn't played this ("fallout: a post-nuclear role playing game", 1997) in some years, and unfortunately hadn't had access to a PC to unpack the game assets. recently realized i could use a couple of neat tools to unpack it and play it on my mac.
"fallout community edition" is a nice re-implementation of a (later, patched, more stable) build of the original game that will work on apple silicon chips, as well as windows and linux. you bring your executable from steam or GOG, it lets the app run for you.
it's still a devilishly fun game, and devilishly difficult at times. trying to enjoy it a chunk at a time and not worry about getting each beat of the game "right".

Krypto the Supercat
alt text
My kitten. Image was taken with a pixel phone. AI - ish content warning. I used the Google Photos magic eraser to remove the handle/strap of the laser pointer I was dangling to get his attention and punched up the colors and contrast a little because he is back lit.
Krypto and the health problems of a rescued from the street kitten.
Krypto was found alone in the street at less than three months of age. The animal rescue pulled some infected baby teeth, gave him shots, neutered him, and got him set up to be adopted. When we meet we became friends immediately, and I got to take him home. This was just before Thanksgiving.
On new year's eve Krypto began to act listless and stopped eating. In the morning, I saw he was trying to use the litter box, but couldn't. So on new year's day, we were at an emergency vet hospital fearing a bowel obstruction. They did X-rays and blood work but found no obstruction or reason for him to be struggling to keep things moving. They offered to keep him overnight for a couple thousand dollars to monitor him. I took him home and to my regular vet first thing the next morning. An enema and some more X-rays and more blood tests and a couple of vaccinations later, he was limping a lot from the blood draws and from a very big poop from a little kitten.
The next day, Saturday, he was not just still walking funny from his procedures. He was dragging his back legs behind him and struggling to do kitten things. I took him to a different emergency vet. They kept him 12 hours to observe and do more testing and specific X-rays looking for spinal injuries or swelling. The vet decided it was almost certainly Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
He is now on the GS-441524 on an 84-day treatment protocol. He started improving very quickly. This is costing about $30 a day in the form of 1.5 pills. So far keeping this little guy alive has cost me $5,000+ with the various vet visits, tests and medicines. I have a bonus coming in the next month that will very much cover this treatment, though I did have other plans for the money.
It's worth it, though. I love him with the fire of 1,000 yellow suns. I think the universe put him in my path so I could rescue him. If someone else had adopted him, they may not have been able to afford it and they would have been forced to make a choice I am blessed to not have to make. I figure if the universe wanted me to save him, I had better do that. I've fought the universe and lost before and he's just a kitten who needs me.
Krypto's veterinarian is very experienced with treating FIP and is very pleased with his progress. He is still struggling with some of his walking. When he runs, sometimes his back legs get very tangled and he falls. He doesn't jump as high or be as coordinated and graceful as you would expect a kitten of his age and size. However, he has gained about three pounds in the last 6 weeks. He is in fine spirits and plays and chases the laser, and tackles the other cat. He loves to be cuddled and be petted.
I am the luckiest man in the world.

30 years ago, I lost a beloved cat to FIP. It was a death sentence then. I am gratified to know that there is an effective treatment now.
Pulling for ya, little Krypto! Get well soon!

Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Great Horned Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation.
So, do you come to the bathhouse often?

On August 31, 2023 I, with the help of some very lovely people, moved nearly everything I owned* into a storage unit in Bellwood, IL. On Fri I packed it all into a rental truck and drove it back to Boston.
We flew out Thur morning, rented a car at O'hare, drove to Elgin to grab some of my stuff from D&E. Lake county for more odds and ends at Sunbear's house. Then to the city for my speakers. Out to Oak Park so Andrea could see my old stomping grounds(and we could grab lunch at Mulata).
Emptied the rental into the storage unit. Spent the night down the street in Elmhurst where Andrea got her first ever butter burger and frozen custard courtesy of Culver's. It was DIVINE.
On Fri morning we swapped the car for a box truck and 2 hours later it was loaded and we were out. A quick stop in Homewood to visit an ailing friend and we were on the road by 4:00. Made it east of Cleveland by 11:00. Left Cleveland 7:30am and were back in Waltham by 5:30.
So that's all that sorted.
Once I wade through everything and get organised(and rehearse a bit) I'm going to fire up a live stream and play some music...
It's been waaaaaay to long since I've been behind the decks proper. I am very much looking forward to that.
Stay tuned.
*While my Sonus Fabers are clearly visible in the center of the frame they did not spend 2 & 1/2 years in an outdoor storage unit. They have been tucked into a closet at my brother's for the duration. They were gently previewed last night and as soon as our neighbor leaves for her business trip we will show Andrea what they are really capable of.

Their first medal was a *gold*? Fantastic!
This is so good it looks completely and utterly staged - the white background, matching outfits for silver and bronze, the pose. So happy for them!
