Help, my floor is filling up with Pokémon posters.

(lightly overlapping posters showing the original 151 Pokémon from four generations of game art)

Mazzy Star + Snowstorm + Railroad + After Midnight.

Mmm.

❄️

New posters based on @CobaltVelvet's generator.

These seem to go together. Cold but nice.

(I guess the name for this these days is "aesthetic"?)

Turned out pretty well, with what I had to hand. Was worried about too little chocolate, but it was reasonable. Tortilla was a bad base, but it was the only one really to hand.

(the aforementioned "s'more tostada" / "s'maco", as named by coworkers)

We shall see.

Presented without comment.

It took me *entirely* too long to figure out what this Christmas present was.

(four colored plastic cones of vague use)

Happy winter, northern hemisphere folks!

(a mug of hot chocolate, marshmallows, and a spoon)

My new hobby: getting things addressed to "aschmitz ​" if forced to enter a first and last name and in the process testing Unicode handling. (That's "aschmitz" as a first name, and "\u200b", or a zero-width space, as a last name. It doesn't trip most "is this string blank?" checks.)

FedEx's internal thing appears to work okay (or doesn't have an unknown-character fallback?), but their full-size label maker drops to a "?". Cards Against Humanity (and I assume Blackbox) goes with "‰ÛÜ" (I think).

Felt like playing with topography.

Newly finished laptop jase!

I made a different thing, but I didn't like it very much. Instead, have some pastels.

Getting a new door, need to pick a color. Suggestions? I kinda like the purple orchid, but am not quite sure.

person at store: "yeah, I've even seen people order these" [points at pink/purple]
me, internally: "but I like those."

Exterior is a redwoodish brick facade with lighter brick edges and white windows, interior is almond paint/white trim/some darker accents.

This is maybe not a good thing? 😕

First Snow.

This is the Mastodon burger from Kuma's in Chicago. Now you know.

(Legitimately didn't get it for the name, but because it was the most appealing with the fewest modifications: I removed barbecue sauce, but that was it.)

(Bun, burger patty, bacon, cheddar, "frizzled" onion.)

Hot chocolate kind of day.

(Also for the stimulant effect, because tired.)
