@Skinnery a text that contained the phrase "live music and bears" became a household joke for years

Re-introduction: Everything I've written in online social forums for the last 20 years can be summarized as "A thing happened and also I drew something." Since 2003 it's been "and I built something too."
More someday.

Dream: A hotel where some doors opened onto a dune landscape, desert or ancient beach.
We went through one of those doors, and there were massive drifts of gemstone pebbles which people were collecting.
Near sunset people were gathering to see the annual miracle, and some were putting their stone collections by a shrine which also had elaborate stacks of vintage glassware.
When the miracle was over, hotel staff moved walls to cover all the doors that led to the dunes. I slipped back in.

Today's dream: I stood with my parents in a long line at a fast food restaurant I don't really like. When we finally got to the front I asked for onion rings and they said "we ran out 10 minutes ago" and, disappointed and annoyed, I said "ok a small fries then."
Also, there was some sort of unfolding global catastrophe happening. But no apocalypse onion rings for me! 😭
Waking-life me isn't even all that fond of onion rings

Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.

We were friends for a very short time
We were never really enemies
We were just strangers for a long time
Once in a while you show up in my dreams

And I see on social media
You've got a home and friends and family
That is all I really wanted to know
I wonder if you ever think of me

Building supplies and art materials should have little pharmacy-style orange stickers warning of possible interactions with other materials.

I'm still just twiddling the dials here.

I would like there to be a .sad TLD. Also other emotions. That would be good too.

Long ago tech: There was an After Dark module, not one of the famous ones, that had ...shifting polygons maybe? and wonderful music. Back then in the house there was a baby, and that particular screensaver served as a lullaby for the baby and a mellow, soothing panacea for an anxious mama. I wonder if it would have the same effect now, if I could find it.

Someday I will have something to say that is not about the house project that ate my life.

@emdeesee Because they ask us to. Same reason we let them out three minutes later.

@emdeesee I have had a cat steal and devour an entire pizza (a small one, but still)
