“I’m afraid I need to ask the four of you for a favor that will likely be a great imposition. And there couldn’t be worse timing, I understand. But there also couldn’t be a greater need.”

“The power cable generated an electrical field and confused their tiny metal minds. You might almost say they’ve had a complete metal breakdown.”

It has come to my attention that some of you have never seen what I firmly believe to be the greatest music video of all time: Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart. It is the perfect marriage of a galactically bombastic power ballad and a writhing mass of 1980s video clichés, thrown into the path of a wind machine and blasted down a moodily lit corridor into the realm of legend.

In case you’re wondering what the heck they were thinking of when they made it, I remember Bonnie once explaining on TV that it’s about the dreams of a headmaster’s daughter, hence all the boys in (and out of) uniform. In retrospect, the whole shebang is quite fascinatingly female gaze-y, and I’m pretty sure it was a major formative influence on my pubescent imagination.

And yes, there is also a very amusing literal version, but for my money, the original is definitely the most hilarious…

A sad and deeply fond farewell to Bonnie Tyler (1951–2026). May somersaulting ninja schoolboys sing you to your rest.

“Well, if it protects the Warehouse, I like it already. What is it?”

This is my favorite interpretation of the song "To Keep My Love Alive" from the musical "A Connecticut Yankee" (by Rodgers and Hart). Mary Testa just kills it as Morgan le Fay.

What about my father? Here’s the thing— your mother sought you out, so she’s fair game. But this guy— maybe he doesn’t even know you exist. I’ve done this enough times to know this stuff isn’t meant to be, even though it may feel that way. But this probably won’t have a happy ending. So, do you want it, or not? I want it.

I stacked my cakes on top of each other in the fridge and now the bottom one is. Real flat.

I am gonna try to carve this. BEFORE adding the filling.

[animate-mush]

I think this is okay. I think I can even leave that 4th corner.

Maybe I do not need to cut the hole. Or maybe not cut it all the way through. I am thinking about it and I do not want to frost the hole...

[animate-mush]

I can make a whole second cake with the pieces I cut off my cake

[animate-mush]

Barrier. I mixed lemon juice into the icing so it's very soft

This was like a whole jar of lemon curd

I can't believe that worked...

[animate-mush]

The softness of my icing is giving me a lot of trouble

Back into the fridge with ye

[animate-mush]

Freezing the icing for an hour definitely helped but it's still slumping

Still. Paletteble

Potential nibs/brush tips

Frosted my hole (it was, as predicted, a Pain. So glad I didn't cut all the way through)

My paint

My palette

My brushes came out okay!

Agatha Christie’s Poirot 8x01 Evil Under the Sun

I know who you are. You’re Hercule Poirot and you must be Captain Hastings. Word’s got around that you were here. Now, don’t tell me. There’s been a gruesome murder somewhere and you think there’s a homicidal maniac lurking among the hotel guests.

“I was wheeled around in some kind of trolley and then flicked over here and there and dropped a little bit down a tube, all done in several sections. They were very gracious with me, the stuntmen, because they know I’m a man of a certain age and I wouldn’t be wanting to do my own stunts. But they needed to see my face because they couldn’t show too much of what was “out there”. So they had to come in close. So that’s when I had to be stuffed in a dustbin.”

Starting to think some of y'all don't even want to go on a doomed polar expedition with me

I'm so happy I managed to get the shlorper indoors before the fireworks started 🎆

Fun fact: I drew this like two years ago and painted the octopus purple. But I thought purple looked corny so I painted over him teal. But then I realized he was the color of Squidward Tentacles and I got mad and stopped and forgot about this piece until now.
