Hooray! I think! Cause that is correct.

When my focal seizures weren't as well managed, one of the closest descriptions I could give is it often feels like experiencing various Windows error noises. Like, all varieties of them, from '93-XP, fit the bill. Occasionally, it's dragging the multiplying, cascading window that won't respond, across a teeny screen of barely available conciousness. Meds make me feel pretty dumb, and some errors still get through, but I don't dunk, donk, dink, or bonk so much!

Super cute and fuzzy wuzzy until it's jumping spider season, and they're in the house, and jesus goddammit jumping spiders, I just cleaned up this shit, can you not web up the entire kitchen every fucking morning? Tiny ass Cirque du Soleil across the light fixtures, every damned day! Cute little shits.

Kyle Maclachlan is a got-dang national treasure. 🫡

Ahhhh, I'm always excited when someone else mentions Northern Exposure! Sometimes it's felt like enough people haven't known what I was talking about, if I couldn't pull up the IMDb, I'd think it was some kind of Mandela effect of memories. One of the most fantastic themes, too -- like the coziest aspects of the 90s made audible. Time for a re-watch, it's been a long time.

Also, thank you, for making me choke laugh at like, 9am.

Just gonna leave this here...

There might be a less etsy type place to find that, but there it is.

More power to you! I mean, I don't tape outlets, just remove the covers, and be mindful of the plugs.But, my own house is riddled with crown moulding, including around the doorframes, which is very pretty and all, the contrasting white is lovely with painted walls, but DAMN if its jutting edges, corners, and curvy bits don't sneak up on ya when you're using a brush or a roller, no matter how carefully. So, for my clumsy bum, tape and more tape!

For reals, though - having painted several rooms--literally in the current process of painting another--you can use whatever "time saving" fucking scams tools are out there, but Frog Tape, friends! Tape, like you're sealing a space station, and a little extra. Or just pay a professional to do it all properly, because it's frankly a bitch, depending on your walls and layout.

Whoa! I don't actually know what I expected, but this is so much more awesome information than I thought I'd see!

Thanks, everyone -- I think I'm leaning towards a Baratza model, as that should fit a lot of categories that weren't absolutely necessary, but preferred (electric, mid-range price, upgradeable).

Eventually, I may go for something fancier, some of those recommended are very slick, or gift myself a hand-grind; I do enjoy the ritual for certain things, but I'm not there yet, for coffee -- props to those who put so much care into your brew!

Illness wrecked my enjoyment of many things until recently, coffee included, so it's exciting--if not a little daunting--seeing numerous home options available. It seemed like pour-over was just getting going in the US last time I had the will and energy to look into a better brew, so I'll be thrilled to have something nicer than my little Y2K era Krupps grinder (though the tiny beast is still kickin', haha), and slowly move into a variety of quality home brewing options, especially as winter approaches.

A flowered wizard hat sounds AMAZING. I bet you could make a really fantastic one, even if it's a bit of an investment and experimentation. Wear that hat, as you deserve!

Yes, thank you! I'm delighted you beat me to it. It might be the only way to handle watching this festering chunk of fine cinema.

Also, how does Brundle Fly eat?

Well, damn. I did not expect to see the most attractive thing ever, tonight. There's a lot of talent, skill, and silliness to unpack in that photo.

Shit. Does that goes for ladies, too? Cause I might need to have a long talk with myself. Can it work that way? Can I instantly give myself another level of beautiful existential pain, like my bi friends?

Mannnnnn, every time I see one of these, I feel like I'm really missing out by not being bisexual. Damn. Guess I'll buy more books! Anyone want some tea or an iced coffee? You doing okay? Need anything? I'll totally run out in the rain, to get whatever you could possibly need to make your life better, if only for a moment. Really, I'm offering.

Wow!! That is so cool! How awesome to see you on here. ❤️

I think it was my sister who shared your work with me, who's own early pieces in the 90s involved combining cut LIFE magazines, painting, and various mixed techniques, so it might've lended to my fondness for the elements you use.

Through the years, I've come across "similar" artists, I'm sure you've seen plenty, but there's absolutely no mistaking a Eugenia Loli--period. You combine your obvious skill and thoughtfulness in each piece, and invoke a downright transportive surrealism, which feels entirely specific to your style. Whether such specifity was intentional, or my own perception, I enjoy the heck out of it. I'd love to know if you have a favorite of your collages, or one that means just a bit more than others.

PS. If you'd be willing to share, what are you working on now?

Waaait a darn minute! You're not the Eugenia Loli, are you, OP? Because I've loved the collage work for years, and that, well, that would be just wonderful. Regardless, this is such a fantastic piece. I highly recommend anyone look up other official works, too!

Plus this part

Please, I can only get so turned on...
