Resident Evil Requiem: Grace struggles to survive, mentally and physically. We watching her trauma grow alongside her courage. We are right there with her. Leon arrives, casually murders 50 zombies, and then declares something like, "It's Taco Tuesday and I brought the spices, hombres."

Every groundhog we've seen, we've named Chuck. Our underporch Chuck seemed kind of small this year. I just came home to see Chuck, on Mother's Day, carrying a baby porch-groundhog. We have named the baby Chuckling. There may be 3-5 more Chucklings we have yet to meet, according to science!

"Suspected shooter's social media posts show shift from movies to political rage." "Suspected shooter's social media posts show shift from T.V. to political rage." "Suspected shooter's social media posts show shift from books to political rage." Surprise! People enjoy doing things!

My daughter, at 19, has decided randomly she might want to become a clown. She asked if I'd be disappointed and I said fuck no, I'll come cheer for you when you're up there clowning. This family has carnie blood. Right now it's a fallback idea for her if the 3d animation stuff doesn't work out.

I will never forgive them for the "V2" Zartan. Oh, wait. I work for them now. I mean... what an excellent design choice. That's totally my best boy Zartan. It's like the original design never existed. Lordy, that portrait face.

Chain of sleep events last night: * Bit my tongue * Bolted upright and took a big breath from my mouth * Depressurized my (nasal) C-PAP machine, sending a huge hiss of air out of my mouth * Cat jumped claws-first into wife * Wife shrieked * Cat reacts, turns into murder tornado * Hid under covers
