Miss Whiskey is not judging me for deciding to sleep indoors instead of the yurt. I’ll move out there tomorrow when it’s above 40 degrees.

damn, just heard about Jose Fernandez dying, this sucks. I know a lot of my followers aren’t baseball people, but he was a great young pitcher for Miami who was going to be an all time great. He died in a boating accident.

Just about everybody has seen this gif of him

Wait. It was THAT guy?

Now I’m 1000x sadder.

Oh no this is a terrible way to realize this, but– so the thing is I never see characters that clearly in my head, but for Kes, I had such a clear vision of his smile, the way he’d look, and I couldn’t think where I’d seen it?

This gif. The “yes I did” smile. That’s it. That’s where I got such a clear vision of him. That big, toothy, playful, I-don’t-have-to-be-cocky-at-all grin. 

Oh no. I didn’t know this poor late departed gentleman from Adam, but somehow his smile had gotten lodged in my subconscious just from seeing this famous gif of his brilliant catch. If that’s not a truly amazing smile, I don’t know what is.

I’m so sorry to realize who he actually was, this way, and I’m so sorry for his family, and reading about his life and his incredible struggles to get to where he was, I’m so deeply sorry for his family and fans and everyone who knew him. (While escaping Cuba at 15, to pick just one amazing story, he was on a crowded boat, and heard someone fall overboard, and jumped in to save them without knowing beforehand that it was his own mother who had fallen.)

Lil Miss Whiskey is delighted to join me out in the yurt tonight since it is only supposed to be in the mid-50s tonight. Er, and raining, but we’ll see how that works out.

ughhh in my absence a wolf spider seems to have decided

ughhh in my absence a wolf spider seems to have decided my bed is her territory. 

the wolf spiders are good neighbors because they are chill, they have their territory and they stay out of my bed.

but she thinks my bed is her territory and that is Not Chill and this is upsetting a crucial component of the harmony of this place. 

Not Chill, lady. You can’t have this bed. It’s mine. I’m flexible on literally everything else. I’ve evicted you twice. I don’t know how else to break it to you. I know you’re the same one, I’m kind of a conoisseur now. (I also know you’re female because most of the chill ones who lived in the roof hole, the wall, the other wall, the section of wall over there, and the wall over there were dudes, and your abdomen is shaped differently but your markings are the same. Also one of the dudes on the wall is a creepy pale morph now, I think it’s the same dude but has just shed his skin a couple times and I didn’t know wolf spiders came that pale but he’s super weird-looking, I tell you what. Y’all been partying too much while I was gone.)

On a related note, today I cleaned the evisceration room and there was an enormous, magnificent spotted orbweaver who had a web in the window. She was truly huge, a solid inch or more long with a giant round abdomen. One of the farmhands was there as I was starting to clean the room, and she and I brainstormed how to save this spider. I didn’t want to spray her with the hose, because not only did I not want to kill her, I also kinda figured she was so big she’d survive it and get mad. So we looked around and found a broom and a bucket and a length of 2x4, and managed to knock her into the bucket (she was so big she *thunked*) and the other girl went and deposited her in another windowsill to hopefully make herself a new home there.

Anyway, if I get bitten tonight i’m gonna be super bummed.
