Wait, there are people that don’t like his outfit? What’s wrong with them, it’s a good look on him.

My feelings on the Fallout 4 trailer.

Okay coming late to the party here, but then, that sums up my relationship with games for the most part.

Promo: It's Fallout 4!

Me: Ooh neat, I've been having a lot of fun with Fallout 3, what's this one about?

Promo: It's Fallout 4!

Me: Yeah, but what is it abou.. Promo: Fallout 4! Look! Dog!

Me: Hey, great looking animation on the dog. I never used the dog, I can't stand dogs getting hurt, even in video games, I took the Animal Friend perk just so wouldn't have to hurt the wild dogs. So anyway, what's the game about?

Promo: It's Fallout 4!

Me: Ah, that's all pre-rendered stuff, I'm with Yahtzee on this one, that doesn't count. Nice looking locations, but what's the gameplay like?

Promo: It's Fallout 4! Vault 111!

Me: So is this still in the Washigton area? Does the story tie in with the events of Fallout 3? Is it set sometime after? Before? During, but in another place? Are you going to give me anything?

Promo: It's Fallout 4!

Me: Yeah, but what's the storyline? What's the starting goal of the game? Hell, what's the gameplay like? I’m not going to drop my cash on a name and some pre-rendered graphics that tell me nothing about the product.

Me: Oh fuck this.

Promo: It’s Fallout 4! Pre-order now!

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.

Inspired by this awesome post.

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.

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

My brother's comment on this- "Obame-hame-HA!"

Hey, it's a legitimate reason for not getting off the couch in my family. "Can't move- catted."

I always imagine this happening to Wash and either Carolina or Maine just walk over like “get up” and he just points to the cat like “i cANT now shush it’s sleeping”

The face may not be perfect, but still, that's pretty gorgeous.

eh. sometimes i get carried away with doodles.

an au tucker maybe? idk.

faces are hard. T^T

Men and cats always seem to have this special relationship.

Now I'm being distracted by thoughts of Renner's sweet round baby cheeks. (I wanna pinch 'em!......... either set.*eyebrow wiggle*)

Some background.

Okay, I can’t edit this how I want (leaving only the middle under a cut), so I’ll post my concluding paragraph before the cut.

Being as socially isolated as I am, I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing I have fairly odd behaviours when it comes to fandoms. I tend to jump from one to another as the mood strikes me, but eventually come back to most of them for a while, trawl my way through fanfic and art, and then completely ignore it as I move back to another old fandom.

Okay, that's probably not that odd, but when I cycle off a fandom I tend to ignore it completely and not even mentally count it as something I'm a fan of. Sometimes to the point of almost actively avoiding it, say, avoiding reading a crossover fic for something I'm currently into that's been crossed with one of my previous fandoms that I'm currently ignoring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The upshot of all this being- sometimes I’ll effectively ‘drop’ a fandom entirely, only to wander back months or years later and pick back up where I left off. (And in the intervening period, never actively acknowledge it’s something I’ve like.)

The thing is, I don't really even know why I do that. As a kid, most of the time I was always in the process of reading anything from two to four novels at the same time.

Say, I'd have an Asimov short stories compilation lying around, be halfway through one Anne McCaffery, starting off another Anne McCaffery from a different series and had just finished re-reading Voyage of the Dawn Treader because it was a rainy day on the weekend and C.S. Lewis and large mugs of tea just seemed to be on the agendum, and then that evening, one of my Terry Pratchett novels is begging for another read.

And then I'd have trouble understanding why people felt that keeping track of the stories when reading two novels concurrently was such a difficult thing to do.

I didn't have the analogy then, but now that I think about it, isn't exactly the same as having more than one favourite tv show? I just went in as much for the written word as I did tv. ....plus never liking soap operas usually gave me some time free each evening.

When you're eight, a choice between Neighbours, the news or reruns of Yes Minister is enough to make flail in frustration in the lack of anything *good* on the tv, so you need some way to amuse yourself before primetime. I happened to have a large sci-fi/fantasy library on hand thanks to my parents, so I'd pick a book and start reading.

Or it was the weekend/holidays and I had to be *somewhere* so I'd go along to work with my mother, who was a cataloguing librarian. And back in the work areas of the library just happened to be a huge collection of sci-fi that someone had willed to the university, and there's only so many times you can wander around the lake, main square or cafeteria before you're bored out your mind.

And this degenerated into reminiscing about books and my childhood fairly quickly. Huh. Well, that's also a trait of mine, I can never keep on topic. (Or I'll have a long rambling story/theory/anecdote that seemingly everyone else considers off-topic, but dammit- you didn't let me finish and it all ties together!) My tangents never seems to match up with what the rest of the world considers 'understandable'.

The upshot of all this being- sometimes I'll effectively 'drop' a fandom entirely, only to wander back months or years later and pick back up where I left off. (And in the intervening period, never actively acknowledge it's something I've like.)

Biting the bullet.

Okay, my first tumblr. Whether this turns out to be a echoing wasteland or a den of endless reposts remains to be seen.
