Phatic words on-screen…
Will the void respond, I wonder.
"Hello? Are you there?"

Librarians are undervalued

Friend: What would the devil name his dog?

Me: Spot

Friend: Can't you ever be serious and give a reasonable answer?

Me: I did

Friend: WTF are you on about?

Me: Look, the hell hound Cerberus and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the indo-euro word Kerboros, which evolved into the greek word Kerberos, which was then translated into Latin as Cerberus.

Friend: So

Me: Kerboros, means 'spotted'

Me: So Hades, lord of the dead, ruler of the underworld and precursor to the devil... literally named his dog 'Spot'

Friend: I fucking hate you... you take all the fun out of things with facts.

Four claws rake my shin,
Then a rough tongue licks the wound.
"Mama, please feed me…"

Another day when my nose runs faster than I can…

#sniffles #cold

The snows melt at last;
I see the valley, down there:
Will you wait for me?

#haiku

(Also, sorry for spammingβ€”I'm in a maudlin, haiku mood)

My tears wash my feet
So much fight, yet so much loss…
Sunrise warms my face.

#haiku

Cherry blossoms fall
On dreams of a better world
Our time here is done.

#haiku

Spring is lateβ€”again
My cats long to hunt new prey.
They meow as snow falls.
