At work today I have several things I need to be doing but I can’t do any of them. All for different reasons. Can’t finish the CIP (clean in place) of one of our machines because our water tank is low. I can’t finish changing out the carbon tanks because it’s not done processing yet - even though they told me at 7:30 this morning it was done.
Why the fuck is there so much music in a NFL pregame show. FUCK it all sucked too!

And then the halftime show was Ozzy Osbourne and they NEVER SHOWED IT!!
I usually go to the whataburger 2.5 miles away for late night munchies. They're much better than the closer one. The food is usually fresher, and they rarely screw up. I'll order in the app so that it's usually done by the time I get there, avoiding that 11pm-1am whataburger crush.
This time, they screwed up. And I don't know that I mind too much. Instead of a whataburger, they gave me someone else's burger--a double-meat whataburger with cheese, no veggies except for grilled onions. Instead of regular condiments (mustard, mayo or ketchup) they put BBQ sauce and creamy peppercorn. Bacon.
I would never have ordered this monstrosity of a burger. But it's tasty as hell.

There's a new waxing/sugaring place in town and they're offering free services to train up their new employees. I've never had one before, but have always been curious. I suppose on the 20th I'll know if it's as bad as some people say

I imagine it won't really be as bad as all that
Stretch your imagination, embrace the possibilities!
I'm mostly immune to anesthesia. I am guessing it won't be as bad as a root canal.

Followed some links and there's several Marvel prints that he's done, Deadpool, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, and Dr Strange.
It might as well be cosplayers playing baseball for all the powers being shown in the picture.
It's from Kinkade Studios, not Kinkade himself (who died in 2012). They've done a lot of nerdy artwork (Star Wars, DC, Marvel, Disney, etc.)
And it shows, woof. Do they put the new people on Marvel duty or something?
I've always thought Kinkade's style was overly kitschy and the Studio quality is hit or miss, but if they do clone troopers it's going up on my wall!
^This. Also, I was at Costco and they had a display of some of the Kinkade Studio nerdy stuff. It was a very "WTF" moment.
That's what's appealing about them. At first glance, it's obviously a Kinkade (or Kinkade style), so you're expecting a very particular type of scene. Then you look closer and...wait, what? Is that Batman?

My daughter went to get a new tattoo today. While there my wife got a piercing. Her exact words were: "I did pierce something, though. You get to find it."
Oh yeah, baby!
She got home and it was her eyebrow. Took me all of like 2 seconds. Not the treasure hunt I thought it would be.

"I got a new piercing, but it's not where you thiiiiiiiiiink!" - Maddisyn, She-Hulk
Just as an aside, I really like that she-hulk managed to introduce a party girl character that's actually really likeable and not there to be looked down upon. Maddisynn is living her best life

It also occurs in the Avengers game. Wonderman hits a home run, Captain Marvel catches it outside the stadium while flying.
I seem to recall (though, you know, it's been maybe 40 years) that the one time I saw them playing baseball in an actual physical comic, Scarlet Witch used her powers to catch a home run, got called on it, and used the excuse that it was like their only ball or something and they didn't wanna have to go find it.
And not so exciting to paint for that reason.
