Christmas 2025.

Whelp, last year, I didn't know if the mailman was gonna pull off Christmas.

He did this time! So...at least that's something.

Last couple years, I bullshitted what I was reading into a Christmas theme.

So, let's keep the new tradition.

From left to right: Pan is in Christmas colors, mutant Klansman is an evil Santa, and demonic monkey is a toy. And I guess Pan can kinda sorta count as an elf. A horny omnisexual shapeshifting elf.

Previously-

-The 12 days of Christmas.

-Christmas 2023.

-Christmas 2024.

This year's stuff...

-Ma passed away. She's not here for Christmas for really-real, and not cuz she's at the hospital.😔

-Saw "Superman" (2025).

-Saw "Fantastic Four First Steps".

-Got the remaining Hainish cycle books.

-Re-got the Earthsea books. 

-Now I'm on a Poe/Machen/Lovecraft/King/Etc rabbit hole.

Keeping my nose in books keeps the pain at bay. Slightly.

I'll leave a link for my present haul here.

Went with a circuit pattern to evoke the ansible/churten from the Hainish series.

Ansible = FTL communicator.

Churten = beaming a person or ship through, but it causes weird reality-scrambling side-effects.

Maybe someone fucked up our timeline by churtening.

Sure feels like it.

Christmas 2024.

Pretend ol' Floppy-Hat-Shevek is Space-Santy-Claus. 😉😏

Had to use a book I already have, cuz as of writing this entry (12/23/24), I dunno if the mailman is gonna pull Christmas off this year. 😓🤷‍♂️

Update- Nope, he failed miserably. 👎😒

Bye-bye to another war criminal.

The last war criminal in my little series.

William Calley Jr.

He croaked in April 28, 2024.

And it wasn't found out by the public until July, cuz he's the kind of guy where people (rightly, IMHO) want to unload a septic-sucker truck onto his grave.

But!! Here I am!!
