Has My Brain Stopped Working?

I’m kidding myself that anyone looks at my tumblr, but hey, reblogging anyway because this is a gorgeous young pup who deserves someone who loves her.

About a week ago, I was driving down my street and as I approached my house this dog was walking across my drive way. Then into the neighbors.. And into the street.

I parked, almost lost a shoe, and ran into the street after her.

I had to chase her a couple houses down, and then I just sat down. I bowed my head and licked my lips. She slowly walked over and let me pet her. Then, she let out the saddest howl I’ve ever heard in my life.

My dog.. My dog is spoiled. She wants for nothing. She barks AT MY FACE because we are not moving out the door fast enough. Emma has never made a pain sound in the four years I’ve had her, and I work TIRELESSLY to make sure she stays that way. But, this dog.. This dog had been on the streets for a couple days as noted my not so concerned neighbors. Who were nice enough to lend me some rope, so I could walk her back home.

We got into the house. I gave her water, a treat and she declined. But she did want pets. And slowly she started to fall asleep on my hand. Maybe she just needed rest and comfort…

What happened next was that I had to call a shelter to come get her. If you know Emma, then you know she’s very bossy and very territorial about her things. (Pudge knows. She tried to take off his face once. Okay, several times.) and so I helped coax her out of my house and into an animal control van….

It breaks my heart, guys. 7 days and no one has claimed her. I have messaged rescues and only one has responded to me. They said they only take dogs who have a dedicated foster already. In the corgi community, we all jump at rescues and dogs in need - because we all have a passion for our breed. But, what I’m finding with pitty/staffy mixes is they are just “another dog”…

So, what I’m asking (and thank you if you got this far) - this dog is in Carrollton, Texas. She deserves a home. She deserves people. Please share, please help me find her a place where she belongs.

Nobody cares about your dream

But writing it down so I remember it.

Okay, tv show.... opening scene is some muscular guy with slicked-back teal hair standing outside of building getting admiring looks. That building is apparently the front exit of a spaceport (that’s right in the middle of the city in an area with lots of foot traffic) and he is an alien.

Okay, now alien and military guy are sitting in the audience of a sporting event we never see. Military guy is telling alien dude (who is some sort of ... goodwill ambassadorliaison from the aliens?) is being told he wil**l not **be going to the far-off space battlefront, he’s too valuable to risk or some-such and instead must stay here and be forced to compete in the Olympics.

Alien guy (what happened to the teal hair btw, why does he now have a big brown afro?) protests, he’s from a warrior people/been trained as a warrior etc etc,. Military guy is “this is from higher up, no fighting it.” Alien guy is not happy with this.

Next scene, alien is ... visiting with a random family. Oh? Family of some human friend he has, who’s off fighting somewhere. Wait,... what? Why? And why is his hair now the horrible afro only with bits shaved out of it?

Anyway, he’s catching up with them -never-mind how the hell he’s supposed to know them- when they’re interrupted by the tv - some sort of emergency (attack? robbers? fire? brain, you wanna put in some details? No? Okay)

So some sort of emergency, presumably with Bad Guys...huh alien guy is having some sort of fit... annd now he’s turned into a sort of gold-coloured lion-styled superhero. (I like the mask.... is that supposed to be a mask? It’s his face? Okay) Now he’s put his hands together and is firing some sort of energy at the woman who turn into something similar. The guy with them them who is ...not part of the family, but some sort of military liaison//minder for alien guy has freaked out and pulled a gun. Woman protests that’s she’s fine, let him him do his thing dude. And the gun goes away and guy is energy beamed into some sort of blue cat styled superhero.

Before they depart to kick ass, they need to know more. Alien lion now has a sword and.... is this Thundercats but meddled with so much by tv execs who know nothing about it so that’s not even related to the original anymore? I think it is, because he’s doing the eye of Thundara bit, only without the speech, the sword is horizontal and he’s looking into some sort of glowing eyepiece.on it.

Dream ends before they can head out. That’s REM cycles for you. Overall, a very 90′s low-budget tv series feel to it, and sort of a ‘re-imagined’ Thundercats thing meddled with by execs, marketing, sales, producers and so forth who all know nothing about Thundercats and/or never knew about that bit in the first place that it’s been turned into classic 90′s generic superhero dreck.

Brain:”But would you watch it?” Well, I do love that crap, so I’d probably give it a few eps at the least to see where it goes.

Dan Kuroto after he’s dropped the good guy act and launches into the scenery chewing is one of the most glorious hamtastic performances out there, and you can feel how much fun Iwanaga-san is having. The only thing that could beat it is Shindo Gaku’s work as Killbus in the Build New World movie. There’s good chance that if they were close by, even sets he didn’t appear on had tooth-marks. One can only hope the stagehands were given proper guides to each actors tastes so they could properly season each set beforehand. “it’s a Dan Kuroto scene, salt? Chicken salt? Pepper? Soy or Barbeque sauce?! I NEED TO KNOW!”

I just learned that the actor who plays Kuroto Dan, Tetsuya Iwanaga, has a lot of talents. He’s pharmacist (I think making him the only Ex Aid cast member with a medical background), fluent in English, and an actual “genius” in real life. For instance, he got a “triple A rating” on the JAXA astronaut qualification test.

He’s also seems to be soft spoken:

(He’s like this in other interviews, not just the one here in English.)

I bring this last part up because I knew he was having fun playing Kuroto but wow, this drives home just how much he’s having a blast.

So I have a copy for myself if/when I ever watch Zi-O

And since it moved Now to headcannon in a way for Zi-O to get his powers, without erasing the Heisei Riders from the timeline. Toei: ”We want the last of the Heisei Riders to be a tribute to all who came before him and commemorate their adventures.” Also Toei: “Have the last Heisei Rider gain his powers by erasing the previous rider’s adventures from the timeline!” What the fuck Toei?!

Zi-O rewrite time! An attempt at retaining a lot of the main elements while improving the general enjoyability.

This is why my dream home always included a library room.

(With a nice big window to one side and big comfy chairs.)

I have too many books but also not enough books and I also have no space for books but I will make space for books

Men and cats always seem to have this special relationship.

All dogs shed all the time. I grew up with it, so I didn't even notice the fur half the time. Hair is dropped all year round (just like humans) then depending on breed you get shedding season or blowing coat.

Spitz types tend to blow coat. And you get little pluckable tufts of loose fur on their body. Which you can then pluck. I like plucking, it's very rewarding, you end up with handfuls of soft, wooly underfur.

I'm gonna have to find a spinner. Dog fur is said to be 80% warmer than wool. Actually I met a spinner once who had some Samoyed in her jumper, it was only for the coldest of days, it was too warm otherwise.

I like to imagine a dog fur blanket. ♫Wrap me up in your love, your love takes me higher~♫

Do corgis shed much? I really want one, but I had a dog that would shed so much and it's a hassle to clean up and i don't really want to deal with that again :/

Yes they shed ALL THE TIME. No such thing as blowing their coats twice a year–it’s an all year round thing. My car is forever destroyed. If you do decide to get a corgi though, habitualization is on your side. You’ll stop noticing it after a while (unless you’re super obsessive about the fur) because it just becomes a part of the landscape. Fur in your food, fur in your bag, fur on your sweaters, fur that follows you into hotel rooms in countries thousands of miles away (and then makes you all shad bc you miss the doge)… you get the picture.

The expressions in #3 are pure perfection, Harry’s especially, this *is* Colin Firth as a dog.

#4 is a scene that would have happened in the movie if they were dogs.

Livejournal, you’re killing me.

So, i can’t log into either of my lj accounts. I get a “password out of date - reset it” message. But it’s been like 5 years since I last used those accounts, we’ve changed ISPs I don’t know how many times since then. To be able to reset the password, I’d have to change the account to my current email address. To change my email address I’d have to log in, which I can’t do unless I reset the password. Oh, and old accounts aren’t deleted after years of inactivity (but their passwords can expire!) just how many accounts are there I wonder, where people have the password, but can’t use it because it’s “out of date”. It’s maddening. .... about the only solution I can see is finding out if we have records of who our ISP was in 2016, hoping they’re still around and signing up for a very short time, just to get an old email address back, so I can reset the passwords, change the email addresses then cancel the account with the ISP. Or, actually get a hold of someone at livejournal, have them see that the email accounts associated with the accounts don’t work anymore, and either let me log in with the “out of date” passwords so I can change the email address, or have them change the email address so I can reset the password. Does anyone even work at Livejournal anymore? For all I know, it’s all been automated, and the only human beings involved are whoever cleans rooms the servers are in. ......yeah, I’m not gonna hold my breath.

Yay, Boueibu season 2 has started.

....and in comparison to season 1, it looks like they’ve lost some of the subtlety. Yes, Season 1 was them being subtle.

This is going to be an experience.
