God I ***** hate fridays.
It's always the craziest, worst, most stressful day of the week at work for creative. And everyone else is "working remote" aka goofing off, or blatantly going golfing during the day and marking it down as administrative overhead.
I'm livid. I'm tired. My neck is severely messed up. I want to shiv someone.

Our cat is a murderer. .... of Carter's elbow. Or a piece of dental floss. Or a hoodie string.
A moth, spider, ant, or other varmint? Yeah, no, stare at it, pat it, squeak at it, otherwise hopeless. Which is just as well, last thing I need is him eating some poisonous bug or a spider coated in insecticide that stumbled inside.

Been years but yeah that is a great drive and good for camping too.
It’s one of my fav places on earth. I’d been talking it up to dark for years. And today? Our hike was nice but not a single clear view to be had. Just driving through clouds the whole time haha

We drove the Skyline road in the Shenandoah today.
Wow what a view - we almost mist out on spectacular mountain panoramas what a shame that would’ve been

Soon as I finish my work and pack, we're off on a roadtrip.
There will be airplanes, horses, civil war battlegrounds, and bizarre roadside stops.
Let's go

How does the universe know I'm going on a vacation
How
I'm going to spend the first 3 days of this trip falling asleep in various places from pulling so many late nights/18 hour days. -

Are cashiers personally at risk legally for underage tobacco sales, like clerks that sell alcohol? If so, that would make me so serious about the joke.
I believe they are- at the very least they can get reamed/lose their job. Who knows, maybe she or one of her coworkers just went through someone using a fake ID and it's a "seriously don't joke about that" moment for her right now.
Or it's like my friends who work checkout and want to murder when they hear the "oh it won't scan? must be free ha ha" joke for the 80th time that week. Harmless, just annoying. Retail, what a joy.

Forget about the germ factory angle - I binge-watched a bunch of cruise ship disaster videos this spring (which is of course exactly how to not appropriately represent relative safety of doing anything, but whatever) and I trust any given cruise ship company or captain as far as I can throw them
The ocean is beautiful but it's the sketchiest part of the planet IMO
Yeah, norovirus outbreaks, food poisoning, seasickness... drinking, spangly shows, shopping, crowded pools... Nothing a cruise offers appeals to me. Just not for me. Add in inclement weather possibilities that will turn that gorgeous blue around you into an angry sloshing toilet bowl of fear...
I also find ships to be the scariest thing. Like, I read about disasters of all kinds frequently... but the idea of being on the only floating thing in miles and miles of liquid desert, and that something may go wrong on that floating thing, and rescue is difficult... does not sound good. And I get seasick on anything bigger than a rowboat.

They chose the end of August for a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas? What, all the covered wagon rides through Death Valley were already booked?
Yeah I said the same thing but I'm trying to be nice. Those cruises are cheap this time a year for a reason, guys... but most people don't think that far, are on a shoestring budget.
And cruises in general. Yech. It's right up there with Disneyworld as "things I would hate to spend my money on".

I have a friend who is a captain of a yacht hunkered down in the Bahamas. Little nervous for him.
I too am drinking a beer.
yeah my buddy is my biggest client and he's a cop in north Miami. Lives right on Biscayne Bay. Even he sounds spooked.
My coworker is supposed to be leaving on her honeymoon cruise from Miami through the west bahamas... ha ha ha i don't think that's happening girl

Nothing is going right today, i'm worried about my friends in Miami, i have to work all weekend, but I'm cracking a beer because ***** everything.

Thank God for my Union paying for all my cancer treatment... but wtf for anti nausea having anti-psychotic uses... either they are trying to tell me something ? or I will go what worked the first time after throwing up for 30 hours straight. PS lost 10lbs and most of my belly fat... 3 more treatments to go and I will be ripped!
Oh man yeah... after one of my surgeries I was given Haldol and I freaked out- that's what we gave my violent schizophrenic grandmother back in the day...
... and it didn't work. Zofran was my saving grace for anti-nausea.
Hang in there man

It's for the Sports Illustrated Body Issue. It's the list of athletes modeling for it this year.
I see Alex Honnold on there. (the free solo el cap climber) He'll be the stringiest/wiriest of the bunch by far.

If anyone's in the area, head to Flying Bison tomorrow for their beer garden art party. There'll be art, live music, beer, and a couple aerialists and I demoing/performing! Super chill, low key, come say hi! 12-5ish.

Fortunately there are plenty of places here that should be able to accommodate your wife's diet. I know Marble and Rye specifically is very good about it.
Can confirm. They're pricey but worth it. Most places are pretty good with GF requests now. There are a lot of vegetarian/health focused places as well. Several of my coworkers have Celiac and it doesn't seem to hold them back much in this town.

Figure you gotta put each kid in a car seat and booster seat of some kind until they're like 6 or 7. So a minivan wont even cut it because you'd have to climb into the 3rd row constantly. He's going to have to buy a full size 12 passenger Express van or something so he can get to both rows through one sliding door.
A family down the road from me growing up had 13 kids. Every single one of them was voted prom king/queen their respective year. Interesting crew.
Anyway... I clearly remember their giant 90s turquoise/violet splash decaled GMC Safari van, packed to the gills with kids. -

WOW, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. The support system better be big otherwise those first few years will be nothing short of a calamity. Twins are a killer much less 4, most likely modern medicine gone awry would be my guess.
I used to say if I ever decided to have kids, I'd want twins to just get it out of the way with one 9 month span of hell.
Well, after like 75% of my friends who've had kids have had twins... I take it back.
Yeah, I have to assume there's something in the water. aka fertility treatments. But I know plenty of people who never did treatments/visits and still popped out twins...
Quadruplets... jesus christ. I knew a couple back home who had triplets, then got pregnant with quints. Just... my god, I can't imagine being a living clown car. That's got to be hard.

So there's the griffin that is half lion and half eagle. I wonder if the greeks have a buffalo bird.
Only thing I can think that's close is the Assyrian Lamassu:

I thought it was avocado toast. Isn't that the only food youngsters care about these days?
I turn 30 next month and have never had avocado toast in my life, nor do I get a drink from Starbucks everyday. Thus, according to the times, I may one day afford a house.

August doldrums.
I painted traditionally for the first time in over four years this weekend. It was... overdue. I was thrilled with how easily it came back to me. Dark and I holed up in the garage, tunes blasting Saturday night and both painted and it was the happiest I've felt in a while.
I plan to be very selfish about it. I've spread myself far too thin over the years here, and I will not turn one of my rare joys into yet another side hustle. Acrylic painting is for me and me only haha

Sorry
The fantastic part is it will end at some point, I'll go home, and continue to work all night on freelance
but I can blast death metal and drink and then sleep in a bit
