Our tortoise shell cat named Midna got outside & is now lost. Sheās a house-cat who was declawed by a former owner & weāre really worried. We live in the Portage Indiana area. Any help spreading this in the hopes of finding her would be massively appreciated, thanks everyone
I Interviewed Retsuko from Aggretsuko [TempoTalks]
I sat down with Retsuko voice actor Erica Mendez to discuss how both guys and gals benefit from watching Aggretsuko.
Also, how anime and JRPGs are super cool and may bring about world peace.

Fun Fact: Fuzzbertaās full name is Fuzzberta P. Jones. The P. stood for pee because she always peed on me when we first adopted her, but then she stopped so we changed it to Pikachu instead.

The very last chapter of Room and Board is now up, for those who care to read: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7055920/37/Room-and-Board
There are also two stand alone pieces (one Jaxter, one Phoenix/Razer) that show some little (nsfw) adventures the boys get up to during the summer, which I had written ages ago and will post on AFF as soon as I get them cleaned up.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has read and supported this fic for so long. And biggest thanks to @grimreaperchibi for being my constant encouragement all along the way.
The final chapter of Room and Board is half done. Itās starting to sink in that, while the going has been slow for a couple years now, this fic has been in my mind for a DECADE and Iām not quite sure how to handle that itās finally coming to a close...
Anyway. Preview under the cut! Iām going to do my level best to wrap it up this week or next.
The next two weeks went by in a mindless blur that was broken, finally, the day before final exams, by the football teamās last official meeting of the semester. Jak welcomed the distraction with open armsāanother hour in front of a text book or computer and he was going to lose his jockly mind.
The meeting had been held on the bleachers, taking advantage of the warm sun that came with the first week of May.
Sig tucked his clipboard under his arm. āThat about wraps it up. Seniors, Iāll see you at commencement Saturday. Everybody else, see you in August.ā
One of the graduating players held up a hand somewhat sheepishly. āUh, Coach? Could we, maybe, likeājust throw the ball around for a few minutes? For old times sake?ā
Slowly, Sig laid the clipboard on the bench and picked up a ball. āFirst senior who can take this away from me gets to come back at next yearās homecoming game and give all the freshmen wedgies.ā
Three minutes later, tackling Phoenix face first into the mud, Jak felt slightly more at peace with life in general.
- Ā // - // - // - // -
In the locker room an hour later, Jak toweled himself off while Phoenix looked exaggeratedly into a mirror.
āGod, do I have turf in my teeth? Remind me never to play against you unless there are flags involved.ā
āYouāve had worse.ā
āNot from friendly fire!ā
āJust a risk you take, man,ā Jak grinned, wadding up his towel and throwing it at his running back. āGotta live dangerously.ā
Phoenix grabbed it smoothly out of the air and threw it at the towel bin in turn. āSpeaking of whichā¦ā He leaned closer, wary of their teammatesā hoots and laughter ringing through the locker bays. āMake sure youāre freed up to come back to town next weekend.ā
āWhatās up?ā Jak asked, instantly on high alert at the prospect of an excuse to return to Haven so soon into summer break.
Haven, where Daxter would be.
āConsider this your formal invitation to a very exclusive race. Razer asks you beg his pardon; heās been too busy studying for exams to personally monogram you a ticket.ā
āIāll be there.ā
If there was even a slim chance that Erol would be there starting more shit, Jak wanted back in line to hit him, even if Razerās teammates got there first. Barring that, they would at least get to see Razer race, something that had been picking curiously at the back of his mind since the secret had come out. Win-win.
āFantastic,ā Phoenix grinned. āIāll pass on your RSVP.ā
āSo do they have, like, popcorn vendors and fountain drinks and stuff at these events?ā
The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.Ā
In amassing my Pop Vinyl figures together for packingās sake, I have had a thought.
What I wouldnāt give to have them make Funko Pop Vinyls of Jak and Daxter. I want MY BOIS.Ā
And Iām talkinā Human Daxter as well. And probably all three of the Jak designs. Or heck, Dark Jak? Light Jak?? The gals and guys of the supporting cast??? HELL, maybe a limited edition Jak/Daxter that are painted in metallic to look like Precursorian metal?? There are a lot of character designs to work with!!
Like Naughty Dog, my dudes, I would be paying you the moneys for this. Just a thought I am floating your way. Thereās Uncharted characters, Crash Bandicootā¦.WHERE MY JAKS AND DAXTERS AT.Ā
Who else would pay money for Jak series Pop Vinyls??
Those would be super cute! I donāt collect the Pops (mostly because there are so many of them and I have not much space for collectibles) but for Jak nā Dax Iād absolutely make an exception.
I said āhave a nice day!ā to this old dude and apparently thatās not fucking good enough because he retrieved his wallet and from like a stack of 30 of these things pulled one out and gave it to me and said something like āI hope you reconsider your choices next timeā
Iām so fucking stunned right now that Iāve just typed this line out about 6 times then deleted it because I cannot even find the right words to express how much this pisses me off. If I saw him after that, Iād make a point to mention all 3.
Happy 2018, everyone :)Ā I hope it goes well for all of you -- better, at the very least, than I know 2017 was for some.
This is the year Room & Board will be wrapped up (hopefully while itās still cold as balls and thereās no choice but to stay inside and stay occupied there). The link to the newest chapter is here, if you care to read:
Animal Control of a small town in Humboldt County, CA requested our assistance with a hoarding situation of what they thought were 200 guinea pigs or so. We responded and drove the 10 hrs North On October 17, 2017. We ended up staying for two days because what we initialy thought were 200 pigs...
PLEASE, if you can, donate to this cause! They have pictures of the conditions of these guinea pigs in the link. I donated as well. Makes me sick to see their health problems.
If anyoneās looking for a last-minute nice thing to do before the holidays, this piggy rescue could use some help. Like. A lot of help. Iāve always kept two pigs at a time in the past and the costs rack up for just a couple, let alone 700!
