An endless series of tasks.

ajYesterday was A Lot.
You know those stretches of time where you have a very firm list of things that need to get done and then all the other stuff that happens around said list (either to hinder or help), but the LIST is stuff that NEEDS to happen? Yeah, this week is one of those.
Upside, three things got done yesterday that needed doing. My jaw is now free of all baby teeth (RIP, T, u a real 1) and now I just need to heal up. Horray.
In a Wink update (which feels like all these entries are, ngl), I am both happy with and regretting her steroid regime. On the one hand, she feels pretty good. She's bouncier and more active than she's been in an age. HOWEVER. This means she's constantly hangry and stomps all over me constantly. I love her so much and I want to lock her in the bathroom. (Which I usually only do to give her and her sister times out from each other.)

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jul. 15th, 2025 10:05 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Every couple of weeks I dive into the headlines, hoping there might be some news that it's actually possible to share without a mental health warning. And again I am disappointed.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 starts this week, so there's that, I guess.
Oh, and another UK heatwave, with the possibility of another this coming weekend. Yay?

Well, that happened.
Jul. 14th, 2025 12:05 pmajI got to see The Aunt and that was nice.
I got about 2/3rds of what I needed to get done DONE over the weekend, but here we are. Today I'm getting a tooth pulled. Tomorrow? Therapy. Wednesday is day 1 of work retreat that I'm going to do my best to disassociate through. After I am getting dinner w/a friend and her fam. (Maybe?) Thursday is day 2: disassociation bugaloo. Friday I'm going to drink a lot of coffee and stare into the sun. Saturday is Birthday Shennanigans for M and probably All The Laundry Ever.
In other news, I borrowed Shaboozey's "Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going" from the library and it was an excellent choice on my part. Weirdly, I'd not heard any of his stuff before, but rap/hip hop earnestly married to country/bluegrass is basically exactly my musical taste (see: my longterm enjoyment of Gangstagrass). I genuinely enjoy the whole album, but Horses & Hellcats, Last of My Kind, My Fault, Finally Over, and A Bar Song (Tipsy) are personal favorites. I think the only song that I'm kind of eh about is Anabelle, and it's mostly fine! Just doesn't pull my attention. I really do understand why A Bar Song (Tipsy) is so popular. It's a good, chill sing a long. But! If you've only heard that? I'd really recommend checking out the full album!

Teen Titans (1996) #1
Jul. 14th, 2025 02:31 pmiamrman posting in scans_dailyWords and pencils: Dan Jurgens
Inks: George Perez
I gave up on the classic Teen Titans because the ‘hip’ lingo was too much. I lost all interest in New Teen Titans after George Perez left. Roy Harper put me off revisiting the Devin Grayson Titans by being a massive ass. Let’s hope I stick with this version for longer.

Batman: Dark Patterns #7 began Pareidolia.
Jul. 13th, 2025 04:59 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyPareidolia is related to patterns, echoing this three-years-in Batman maxi-series' subtitle.
It's also related to perception, echoing the motifs of the two previous stories. We Are The Wounded concerned tactile feeling, and The Voice In The Tower was audial - it'd ended on the rejection and acceptance of guiding voices.
Pareidolia opens on the acknowledgement of another motif that occurred in those two stories: ' [Gotham City, y]ou have always suffered fires. '
( The acknowledger's Batman. )
