Adventures With Herbie

I like to take Herbie on adventures whenever I do something interesting. He needs the enrichment. 🧪🧪🧪 Herbie plushie made by @twilightpalms / @liquidtwilight (Whom I didn’t realize I made basically the same pfp as, oops!)

When I first got my Herb plushie I also ran a plush photography blog for him and abandoned it after a little bit in favor of a new account so I’m glad that Herbert daily adventure accounts live on <3

I’m so happy you’re enjoying! I’m sorry it’s not daily (I just don’t do a ton of stuff during the summer)!

Relieved to report that after a little timeout to cool off after the other day, Herbert has calmed down.

Back to work (and adventures)!

Cutoff time on work has now been pushed back to 2 AM as discipline for referring to me as micro. The role of my assistant isn’t some favor you do me and I do insist on a baseline amount of respect.

Have I made myself understood?

[adventureswithherbie]

Never mind.

“Microbiology, because you’re micro!” is insulting.

Had the unexpected pleasure of joining Clarence at work.

Actually rather enjoyable. The setting of a college bookstore is obviously familiar enough to be comfortable, offered plenty of reading material, and to quote the supervisor:

“In order to work here, you have to be at least a little neurodivergent.”

All in all, a pleasant day.

What better place for dinner than the old funeral chapel where the music is Best of the 80’s (But On Pipe Organ)?

As you might imagine, the outdoors can be a bit intimidating for someone of my size. I can appreciate the more contained nature of the garden.

Highlights of Clarence’s family barbecue. A (nearly) appropriately sized car and some nice smelling hiding places were enjoyable.

Clarence treated us to a night out at the bar last night (home of yesterday’s fur covered fish). We were both intrigued by the “PBPBPJ” hotdog (pickle, bacon, peanut butter, pepper jack).

I can appreciate the philosophy of “combine things that shouldn’t be together to create perfection”.

[adventureswithherbie]

Hm. A magnificently upsetting specimen.

🎆🎆🎆 We were skeptical about a fireworks show, but watching drunkards shoot explosives at the bridge they were under was…amusing.

Also, Clarence says “Welcome”.
