I was trying to do floor exercises but Hobbs came and laid on my chest. Buddy, Dead Bug does not require a cat.
Well, he’s snuggling in. Guess I’m gonna die here.
Little dude, I have work to do.
OH THANK GOD his brother came into the room. I am freed from the tabby bonds of earth!

Multiple people are telling me, quite indignantly, that such works as SCHINDLER’S LIST, SOPHIE’S CHOICE, and DOCTOR ZHIVAGO are also humorless.

Maaaaaybe not quite the selling point I would have gone with, granted, but noted.
DUNE: It’s funnier than SOPHIE’S CHOICE!
Honestly, I find this argument fascinating. Almost everyone agrees that yes, the books are also deeply humorless, yes, the movie is true to that, but many people seem annoyed if anyone mentions that fact.

My spoiler-free review of DUNE:

That was the single most humorless movie I have ever seen. There is one joke, delivered by Jason Momoa, in the first ten minutes. Cherish it. There will not be another.
Uh…let me think. Okay. You know those big concept art books that are like THE ART OF THAT MOVIE and THE ART OF THAT OTHER MOVIE? If you flip through one of those, called THE ART OF DUNE, while listening to Philip Glass, you would largely replicate the experience of this movie.
Basically it’s very pretty and very long and everyone dies.

(That’s not a spoiler. It’s Dune. What did you expect?)

I have been playing around with #Townscaper, a neat little building...toy? game? thingy?...which recently ported to mobile, and spent probably too much time thinking about these odd little towns on the water, which meant that eventually a little weird fan comic came out. 1/11

I do in fact read everything on ebook, as my eyesight’s not what it was, but I do NOT want bookstores to get whalloped. Also, kid books are gonna be hit just as hard.
There are currently no good cheap e-readers that fill the niche of print for small children. I’ve been saying one’s probably a few years off since like 2010. I’ve been wrong every time.
And kids NEED books. For adults, it’s an annoyance, an emotional loss, a hit to our well-being. Kids, though, have windows of language acquisition, and they very much have windows where you can convince them that reading is not an instrument of torture.

I would like to say that I have just spent far more time this morning than is helpful trying to pinpoint the exact breed of Foghorn Leghorn, and have come to several conclusions.
1. He is definitely not a Rhode Island Red, as Wikipedia claimed. Our Lorge Rooster is a RIR and they are a dark red.
2. Nor is he a white leghorn, a solid white breed. Note lack of colored tail and hackle feathers.

The fall air is absolutely glorious today, and I’m gonna get the last of these bareroot plants in the ground OR DIE TRYING
Today I’m planting bloodroot, Virginia spring beauty, rue anemone, and American lily-of-the-valley. (Yes, we have a native lily-of-the-valley! It is not as aggressive and a bit weirder looking.)
Of course, what it likes is “moist, well-drained soil.” I swear to god, if I was going to make a garden drinking game, the Liver Killer Edition would be “Take a shot every time a plant wants moist well-drained soil.”
