Don't have one of those either, maybe there's a toaster that comes with a television, or a television that can toast bread

Pardon, a little spam is a good thing to do in the morning : a Steam machine might cook a toast too .

The game's creators, brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, took inspiration from the rubber hose animation style from the golden age of American animation and the surrealist qualities of the works of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Fleischer Studios, Warner Bros. Cartoons, MGM Cartoon Studio, and Walter Lantz Productions. Reminiscent of the aesthetics of the 1930s and the Jazz Age, the game is noted for its animation and soundtrack. All in-game assets are hand-drawn animation with deliberate human imperfections, and the soundtrack was written for and recorded with a full jazz ensemble.

Cuphead is a game by Studio MDHR, a Canadian indie game development studio founded by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer.

By the reviews, the videogame it's quite difficult, btw.

The gameplay's frame rate is 60 frames per second, while the animation runs at 24 per second, which is the standard in American film. Chad Moldenhauer saw the deliberately included human imperfections of their art design as a reaction to the perfectionism of modern pixel art.

Wow, that's a 60s breakfast! Were you reading the back of the cereal box as well?

Never got out of the habit! I think there was a maze on the back of the Honey Bunches of Oats that day.

Nothing like challenging your mind first thing in the morning!

I find myself once again being assaulted by ridiculous terms of endearment from strangers.

[ownedbycats]

Do you have a problem with that, darling?

Spoiler:

Okay, that was awful and not doing that again.

I did loved this video (hope it's not this the issue , anyway)

I do always have crushes for women in jacket/uniform (can't do anything about it, pardon - it's fine - l0l).

As for return on real rants, I'd bought a Nepeta Cataria bag of seeds (can't blame Amazon, I did tried to choose between options too, and those are anyway third parties), because yes I'd would like them to have a spot of pleasure or whatever: what's sold as catnip in the shops, in here, it's that digestive herb; the catnip Nepeta Cataria might be inside the play toys but it's dried, and doesn't lasts, so I'd thought having a fresh place for them could be better. In summit, 2 months after the seeds grown but definetively it's not Nepeta Cataria: the cats neither looks at it LOL.
Can't also reclame, lol again, I will try whitin another brand probably.
Also in topic I did get quite disappointed when searching a manual for them care: most books were full of nice pics, but when it comes specially on alimentation, wasn't specific and clear.
The most close I'd found is "The Cat Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Troubleshooting Tips, and Advice on Lifetime Maintenance (Quirk Books)", by Sam Stall , and Dr. David Brunner
Whose explain the manual as "software", "hardware", etc... but at least it seems correct.

Ps: if you have suggestions for a real manual, thanks in advice.
Pps: btw I'm also not addicted, but I'm fine: I know the avatar count-status will change soon or later .
Thanks again for the patience, btw!

Giant garbage bins placed in the middle of the sidewalk.

One couple who tied their white mop of a dog to the fence outside a restaurant patio so the people sitting on the patio were being treated to it's constant yapping. The couple was upset when one of the people on the patio moved the dog and tied it's leash around a bicycle rack on the far side of the sidewalk. The owners popped out to complain—basically they have the right to tie their dog up where they want. Not sure what the person who moved the dog does for a living but she mentioned aggressive dog and the city animal control by-law while stating they were lucky animal control had not been called.

The walk from my door to work's door and back involves moving past one relentlessly yapping dog after another. Thank goodness for active noise cancellation.

My other favorite is great clods of wet, half-fermented grass barfed out of an overworked lawnmower that will stay until they biodegrade.

The downwards slide of getting stressed about my garbled speech, and stress makes my speech even more incomprehensible...

Oh, and my prescriptions were delivered today and I was informed it cost over $200. (So I was pretty stressed to begin with.) It's supposed to be covered, so I have to get that sorted out but the offices don't open on weekends and I'm completely out of one and less than a week of others.

Half-dosing for now.
