Don't they teach us procrastination, don't they teach us indecision

[sovay]

On the one hand, today we found out that our bathroom sink may need replacing (it certainly doesn't work) and that Autolycus can scale an eight-foot bookcase if sufficiently motivated (spatch thinks he saw a bug).

On the other, I have written my first substantive fiction since last summer (in progress, trying not to jinx) and this photograph of Pablo Picasso cosplaying Popeye makes me feel a lot better about the state of my bedroom.

I would have been cheerful if this deleted scene from Black Panther (2018) had not been deleted.

It is my deep and devout hope that I am not woken tomorrow, for the fifth day in a row, by a phone call I did not ask for at nine in the morning.

Part of our shower tiles fell down, so I feel you there. (Uh, and sympathies.)

bug as motivation for scaling bookcase: chasing or fleeing?

[radiantfracture]

Good luck and many shoelaces.

W00t! Go you! I'm shaking the pompoms quietly.

That Picasso Popeye is something else...

"I have written my first substantive fiction since last summer." That is awesome.

And whatever else eventuates (may it all be fixed easily and well), at least you are safe from bugs that fly up over the bookcase.

Ah, the joys of finding actual catproof places for breakable precious things. *removes 'eight feet straight up' from the list*

Which is disturbing, since that's where we have OURS, but....our cat is a lazy, lazy cat and not that motivated by bugs?

(She'll follow ones on the floor around the house and stare at them so we know where they are, but she seems to feel disposal is OUR job)

I am super pleased on your behalf that fiction is fictionating, and wow Picaso's housekeeping sure is validating isn't it. That's a thing.

(So's that cosplay. I ... I honestly don't know how I feel about that cosplay. On the one hand, joyous self expression and on the other SIR YOU HAVE A THING ON YOUR FACE THAT DOES NOT LOOK SAFE)

I still need to go see Black Panther. All the overtime at work is destroying my ability to do anything.

Yay fiction writing!

I hope you get a functioning bathroom sink soon.
