Our pug is not very picky about how he gets attention…

Should’ve Called It Attention Disobedience Disorder
Me: “Ugh, [trope X] is so [gross/overdone/boring] in [genre Y]. They just fit together so perfectly to make a bad story–like soul mates, but for awfulness instead of love. It’s probably impossible to put them together and have something good come out.”
My hyperfocus: “Hold my beer.”

Wish I Was Here
Trike gets to sleep in on the weekends and I have to admit, I get pretty jealous.

Picturesque
Living in Colorado has its downsides, but I can’t quite recall what they are at the moment…

Earth Hero
Fighter (my daughter’s imaginary friend that pilots all her favorite toys) is named “Earth Hero” now.
That’s because a little while ago, there was a huge army of bad guys that wanted to “kill the Earth” (!) and all the good guys fought them, but then all the good guys except Fighter died and there was still a bus (?) full of bad guys left, but Fighter was able to kill them all at once with super bombs that were also bullets, and then he brought all the good guys back to life.
(That’s not a Deus Ex Machina, by the way, both of those abilities were already canon. Fighter–sorry, I mean Earth Hero–can do basically anything.)

Married Life
My spouse: “I know we usually do laundry with cold water, but I think the reusable cloth wipes I’ve switched to need to be washed in hot.

Spouse: “Yeah, sounds like we need to start having designated ‘hot loads.'”
Both of us, turning toward each other in perfect sync:

A Needy Geek Seems Troubled
So… Those awful poems I’ve been writing? That I was tempted to actually work on? Well, nobody was able to stop me from working on them–and one of them actually turned out good!
Like, really really good. Probably one of the best poems I’ve ever written. (That’s not a high bar, but I’m still proud of it.)
Aaaand I’m afraid to publish it anywhere, because it’s about the first time my heart got broken and if a certain person from high school ever happened to see it I would literally die of embarrassment.
…which is ironic, because the whole theme of the poem is letting go of fear. So, I guess I should post it anyway?
I’ve also written some emo haikus–maybe I can salvage a few of those instead.*
*emo haikus are never salvegable

Pride Stickers
Took the family to a Pride event this weekend. Check out the stickers I got from Satanic Colorado’s booth!
I’m open to suggestions for where I should put them…

An Open Letter
To all the drivers who accelerate when the person ahead of them puts on their signal to merge:
I hope you get crabs.
