I saw Prowly's cousin at a thrift store the other day and was sorely tempted to acquire them. But I hesitated, for there really is no other Owl like Prowly in this Tumblrverse, is there?

Unless of course you would like to expand Prowly's fam, in which case I could possibly check next Wednesday when they are open again and see if the cousin is still available. Remarkable family resemblance, I tell you--just remarkable@

Thank you for the thought, but one Prowly is enough for me :D (There definitely is some kind of artist on contract with figurine companies who specializes in the ur-prowly design, though.)

enitnerolf replied to your photo  “Noodle griffons: cute: or just too weird? Also trying to decide if...” If you think about it griffons have two sets of hind legs and that really doesn’t make sense. These are very cute ❤️ 

lol both points valid. I’ll have to keep playing around with shapes and form. I still want it to look like a griffon.... even if a very weird one!

oh #1 lifehack for humidifier action is to line-dry clothes in your apartment. One of those collapsible racks can do like, a whole washer-load, and then fits under the couch when you're not using it.

Oh interesting! I generally do line dry at least a couple of things -- I can’t dry some, they would just take days and smell bad by the time they were dry -- and I haven’t considered whether there’s a difference when things are line drying. I’ll have to be more aware next time!

Blasphemy roulette seems so innocently hilarious (depending on how religious you are) and I love it

They seemed to be having fun, and there are certainly worse things you can do on a Friday in Lent, especially in Washington DC, than play a nice game. Also it cracks me up because this wasn’t spoken, but rather implied, that if you get the quarter pounder you both lose AND win -- you lose because now you, a Catholic, have to eat meat on a Friday, but you win because you don’t have to eat a McDonalds Filet O Fish Sandwich.  :D

What -- and I say this with my whole heart -- the Fuck??

Imagine me when I peeped behind the plastic. I thought it would just be like some machinery and maybe a workdesk and it was THAT. I burst out laughing I was so surprised. My first thought was “I can’t climb over this, I’m wearing TEVAS.”

You need too demand a refund, because you no longer have a spot for your bike

I’m going to talk to the building about it but I doubt I’ll get one. Five years ago that would have been a significantly bigger deal than it is now, but at least approaching it from the POV of “Hey I paid for this” might draw attention to the fact that what they did is kinda fucked up.

Ye gods! Did the construction guys assume the garage owners would tell you and the owners assume the construction people would work around you? The slamming things into the wall thing looks like typical "It's their fault, they were warned" officious not-very-passive aggressiveness to me. Whoever slipped up, that's pretty awful behaviour.

I have no idea. We did get a notice that there would be construction in the garage, but it explicitly said “no action is required by you at this time” and the notification was mainly so we would know what the weird underground noises were. As far as I’m aware, no bike owners were contacted about their bikes needing to be removed.

Every part of this story makes me homesick for Chicago. Please keep us updated on how company responsible for this BS alternately dodges your calls or insults/threatens you. *wipes away nostalgic tear*

Yeah, it’s annoying but I kinda can’t help but just roll my eyes and go “Chicago”. I don’t think they’ll threaten me, but I don’t imagine they will be eager to get in touch.

superqueerpasta replied to your photo “I bought a weighted blanket. The cats are not impressed. [Description:...”

For some reason I thought you already had a weighted blanket. What're your first impressions?

Honestly, so far not that great, but I’m not done giving it a chance yet. I think the problem is that weighted blankets are really meant for people who either have free-range anxiety, focus and/or sensory overload issues, or insomnia issues. While I do occasionally get really bad anxiety it’s always attached to something that it’s legit to be anxious about, it’s just not legit to be AS ANXIOUS as I get about The Thing, whatever it is. And I don’t have any sleep problems or regular sensory overload issues -- once in a long while, mainly audio, but my tolerance for chaos is actually extremely high. So I’m not really the target market to start with. 

And it’s not that I expected the weighted blanket to actually feel like a hug, but SO MANY articles say that it does that I was very nonplussed at the actual physical sensation. It’s not particularly soothing or pleasurable, it’s just...heavy. But it might be different in a different application than as a lap/sleeping blanket. 

I went to bed with it on around 7:30, fell asleep like normal, and woke around 10:30 and had to take it off the bed because a) I was a MILLION DEGREES too warm and b) I had pain in my hips and knees where the blanket had basically pinned me in an awkward position. But that doesn’t really signify much since I have problems with my knees anyway, it’s just the blanket exacerbated them by preventing me from shifting much.  

So basically I started out with a less-than-ideal application of the entire...thesis of a weighted blanket, hence not giving up on it yet. I’m going to try it in a couple of other applications -- I’ve read that for some people it’s better as a nap blanket, and I’m also going to try swaddling in it while sitting up and seeing if that helps me with work focus. And if I end up not liking it, eh, I’ll pass it on to someone who wants one -- the reason I bought it to begin with is that it was on INSANE sale (a 15lb full adult blanket for $30, marked down from $120) so it’s not a huge loss if I don’t find it useful.

Confirmed: Sam is just a bunch of teeth.

When you think about it, teeth are made of nerves, blood, connective tissue, and minerals. So if you look at it one way, on a specific component level, we are all just a bunch of teeth.
