Day 20,180

May the fourth be with you! (And happy Dave Brubeck day!)

My wife and I hit the farmers’ market today. We got some spicy greens, lovely bread, bagels, and croissants from @blacksburgbagels, a chai and coffee from @roanokecoffee, and “chicken” and French toast for me, and avocado toast for her at @queensvegancafe. The big win was a cool-looking “octopus tentacle sucker”-designed cup and a tiny tasting bowl for @pearlsquirrel from @ishadevinepottery. She absolutely loves it and the tissue used to package them. (The bowl may get repurposed for rings if we can get it back from her.)

Pearl, in huddle mode, is in the blankets and using the shades for “cover” today.

Day 20,178

It seems like the man vs. bear debate is making a comeback and entering the mainstream consciousness, at least for a brief period. Women share their reasons for feeling safer encountering a bear in the forest than an unfamiliar man. This hypothetical situation has ignited a broader discussion about the underlying reasons for women’s fear of men. I came across a meme that combined the themes of Doctor Doom and bears, and I decided to participate in the trend. To be honest, I also side with the bears, naturally. Humans are a far more dangerous species.

Scenes from today. Men in black doodle after a brief but fun interaction with @footnotesfaulkner, a 3d printed sofa for Sisto and Harold to lounge on, a lovely duck date dinner at @hang10iceandcream with @maximillian_deersteak and cherry dip for her and chocolate raspberry for me. Additionally, @pearlsquirrel was a real sweetie this morning. I also printed up a diesel engine that might be of interest to the FIL.

Day 20,174 b

Stayed in today; my back was acting up pretty fiercely. Yummy French toast strata for breakfast, and pad Thai noodles with veggies and some Impossible burger stir-fry for supper. Good stuff, and a little peppermint ice cream for dessert, too! Closing up the night with a viewing of Condorman! I’m enclosing a second doodle since I forgot to include one yesterday.

Day 20,174

One of the monsters from D&D I never encountered, despite being one of the more interesting ones to me from flipping through the Monster Manual II (Apparently it first appeared in the The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan module, and I thought it was in the Fiend Folio, but I guess I was mistaken).

The gibbering mouther is not regarded as an evil creature, but in order to sustain its mad self, it must feast upon the bodily fluids and sanity of mortal creatures, preferably intelligent ones. It attacks by spitting strings of protoplasmic flesh that end in a mouth and one or more eyes at opponents, which then bite them, causing both acid and blinding damage. When it has defeated an opponent, it swallows them whole and then proceeds to suck the bodily fluids and sanity. It is possible for the victim to cut their way out.

Having so many eyes, gibbering mouthers are difficult to sneak up on.

Day 20,172

The weekend looms before us again. I wonder where the nexus of all realities will take us tomorrow? I am guessing a farmers market will be involved, at the very least.

Got some new shoes delivered today. They’ll be repurposed into a brace after I take them to the orthotics/prosthetics place. If all goes according to plan, I should have the brace two weeks after that.

Pearl has been exceptionally cuddly today, making it tricky to do the chores I wanted to accomplish, but I managed to squeeze more than a bit of work out, and now I am procrastinating on making dinner in the hope that maybe we can grab a little nibble outside of the house. If not today, perhaps we can hit Hang 10 for some french fries and/or Dole Whip this weekend, too.
