Today's Adventure is that I, after an unintentional 13-hour power nap,
Got woken up at 6AM by a phone call from a friend stranded in Montana because of the heat wave and almost no cell service because of their crap provider.
OhSoThat'sHowIt'sGonnaBe.jpg
Ok.
I somehow summon a week's worth of spoons and in less than 30 minutes and 5 phone calls, get them
A hotel
An appointment with a mechanic from 2 states away
A perscription refilled from 2 states away
and A Pizza
Go me.
But then it's 8AM and there are unscheduled live humans at the door and while EVERGENCY MODE is still on, I have already blown through a ton of spoons, and also probably shouldn't meet whoever it is wearing just a pair of bootyshorts that say "CRYPTID" in Gothic Font on my ass.
So I greet them in those shorts and a T-shirt that I manage to put on both inside out and backwards
#nailedit
It is, Fortunately, not the mormons.
it is, Unfortunately, two UPS guys trying to deliver my other in-house friend's new phone except the new guy doesn't know how to operate the "sign for package" device, and the old guy that's supposed to be mentoring him is like, 92, deaf as a post, and doesn't actually know how to operate the device either.
by the way
it is already
over 100 out
it takes almost 30 minutes to sign for the phone
when i get back inside, i discover that apparently the Corgi has learned how to open his kennel from the inside because he is now out of the kennel and waiting for me to come in.
he also has cat litter all over his face because while he was waiting for me he also learned how to open the baby gate to the cat's room and help himself to a cat shit breakfast.
He'll be fine
He's a cattle dog, they're legally required to have at least 1 really disgusting snack they love.
but
more to the point
i have no idea at what point he learned to open his kennel from the inside
has he been staying there out of politeness this whole time??
And
I got other shit to do today.
namely.
I'm seeing a realator
The Devils most pathetic yet effective demons
I get a reminder text that I have an appointment with her
at least
I think that's what it is because what she sends me is: "🏡⏰12:00 ❔"
With the time typed in the middle like that.
She is, according to her profile, at least 80.
so I reply "😎👍"
and then she sends me a string of GODDAMN POST-MODERN EMOJI HEIROGLYPHICS THAT TAKE UP MY ENTIRE SCREEN.
She's on an iPhone so half of them don't even translate across platforms
It takes me half an hour and three different software programs and goddamn wingdings to translate, but she has sent me the address and rules about masking and not wearing shoes inside.
in emoji
instead of like
literally any other format
I am
FASCINATED
and simply must meet the woman so if I don't come back to update I got stolen by the fairies but I'm taking the Corgi with me as protection so I'll see y'all later.

Settle round and hear about MsLoftis, the Star Trek Quilter
I don’t know this person, I just hang out in r/quilting and she's like... like REALLY into her fandom. I respect the fuck out of it.
She's also an AMAZING quilter, but first and foremost she's a Star Trek person.
Tumblr media
She does hand-quilting Klingon text. She does a LOT of Klingon content, honestly, it's amazing.
Tumblr media
Sometimes it's an otherwise classical quilt, but with a sudden STAR TREK in it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Baby blanket? I hope your baby likes STAR TREK
Tumblr media
This one has a SPACE BATTLE with TINY KLINGON WARBIRDS fighting the BORG! FUCK THAT'S COOL! And it's cozy too???
Tumblr media
There's occasionally other fandoms, like BSG
Tumblr media
But her first quilt, in the 90s, was Star Trek, and with Star Trek she's remained.
Tumblr media
This isn't even all of them. There are SO many. And like... I laugh because it's always like ANOTHER STAR TREK QUILT??? HOW DOES SHE FIND THE TIME??!? but I also admire her devotion and also she is an exceptionally good quilter, fucking LOOK at the detail on some of these! Look at where she started some 30 years ago!
This lady is living her fandom in a way that I fucking admire, and I just want everyone to admire her with me.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
choose your fighter: terrence mann’s impeccably neat pencil work that makes him look like half of an 80s synthpop duo OR roger allam’s “I haven’t slept in a week and may launch myself into the seine at any moment” eyeliner/unibrow combo

My friend claimed he could play Flight of the Bumblebee and accompany himself. Then he did this.
