This little idiot has decided to contribute to my morning skincare routine by licking my entire face

A cream colored Chihuahua mix lying mostly on his back with his lil front feetsies lifted and his back feet resting on the butt of a large black dog (his sister, mostly out of frame). He looks very cute and not at all like the menace he is.

A little video from the WY/ZLY wedding.

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

Zhang Hailou and Zhang Haixia. They probably won't solve the murder but they could resurrect me and the hijinks would be superb.

I have varied interests

So there's this text screen ahead of every episode of Archives, and I finally got around to translating it, and is this an anti piracy statement?

White Chinese characters on a red background, 保护正版人人有责, which Pleco says means protecting genuine product is everyone's responsibility

Got some friends for Mr. Shakespeare

A bobblehead style William Shakespeare next to a ceramic bust of Edgar Allen Poe. Next to Poe is a raven sitting on a skull sitting on a book. Edgar and his friend are salt and pepper shakers.

A while back our church held their auction where lots of people offer up things to bid on. I bought an evening learning to play Mahjong. Having a set wasn't required but I figured what the heck. So I got a set, and in a couple weeks I'll learn to play!

A Mahjong set with all the tiles neatly arranged.

The outside of the cloth-bound case with a black, red, and white Chinese-style design.

Advantages of having an adult child with a 3D printer. You get gifted things like this on a Sunday morning.

This damn dog

An extremely dirty black pitbull with white feet who just rolled in the dirt like her life depended on it

ARGH I just noticed one of the graphics from the original draft didn't make it through! I've added it back in. It's this one:

Yibo's reaction to confessing his feelings: "I'm going to do everything I can to make him happy. I'm so glad I took the leap."

Found these at Aldi of all places.

Last breakfast of the trip. I was asked to make the eggs

A cinnamon muffin, scrambled eggs, sausage and fruit on a plate.

We didn't do anything today but now we're at a comedy club. I'm drinking this. Let's see how it goes....

Lincoln Park zoo today. I bought a hat.

Me in a bucket hat. It has reddish and tan stripes. It also has ears. It's a red panda hat

A sign in the bathroom of the Airbnb. Not sure I need that kind of encouragement to go poo but who knows?

A sign that says I'm not telling you it is going to be easy. I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

A HA the chicken underwear is canon... #dmbj

Once we were ready, we piled everything onto the small raft, stripped down to just our underwear, and then slowly waded into the lake. Poker-Face’s underwear, which Fatty had bought, had two little chicks printed on it, sending Yun Cai into fits of laughter. (DMBJ Vol 6, merebear translation)

Ahhhhh some cooler weather for a bit. I'd like to request a revision for Wednesday though...

You swim around and find everybody. I finished the first level but idk what happens after that....

She would probably enjoy this. Unfortunately I'm not sure it's streaming anywhere. I had to get a copy off eBay.

This brick just arrived on my doorstep earlier this week. Your wife and I have nothing in common at all. Nothing at all.

In case anyone needs to look at a ridiculous dog

A small cream colored Chihuahua lying on his side and what looks to be rather uncomfortable position with his front paws cocked against each other and his tongue sticking out

They have 3 locations for each tour. I don't remember what the other two were, but one was the Great Barrier Reef:

Mii YB and XZ wearing sheep costumes, posing in front of a field full of sheep.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian in their li'l T-shirts I made for them.

Mii LWJ and WWX. LWJ has a light blue T-shirt that says Gusu Lan. WWX has a red T-shirt that says Yiling Laozu

Fei Du having a moment. (I know this is misspelled--I fixed it later.)

Mii Fei Du, saying "Lou Wenzhou and I get along really well."

To celebrate the birth of XZ and YB's second child (a girl named Ivy), let's revisit their wedding, now that I've figured out how to get the screencaps off the switch!

Mii versions of Yibo and Xiao Zhan from my Tomodachi Life island. They have blushy love graphics on their faces, and they are wearing tuxes and holding flowers, standing with eyes closed in happiness under a pink curtain-and-flower arch. There is text at the bottom with the words of the song playing in the background: "Since the day they met on Valinor..."

Mii XZ and Yibo enclosed in a white heart on a pink background decorated with darker pink hearts. Above is a placard-style graphic that says "Yibo & Xiao Zhan's Honeymoon Oceania Tour"
