The holidays can be a really tough time. The advice I often heard was, "Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Help others. Get out of your head." It's perfectly fine advice, but unhelpful if the mere thought of interacting with people is overwhelming. Anyway, here's a thing I did one year that did help:

I bought a Cookie Monster costume, went to the airport, and waited at arrivals with a sign that said "COOKIE"

Didn't have to talk to anyone and boy did I get to watch people's faces light up.

OK, Noodler's Bulletproof Black, you are a boss ink. Perfect for holiday season packing lists.

I am far more annoyed about closing up shop than I thought I would be. I need another app (ideally FOSS) that lets me "share" a file to it to be encrypted and put in a storage area. That was the best part of it! is what I am using in the meantime but that is not encrypting files, just the cloud space.

Dear Jim,
Please paint me an episode of popular Saturday dating show Take Me Out in which the young man coming down the love lift is the Norris-Thing from The Thing. It is attempting to absorb and replicate the desperate screaming female contestants and to the side Paddy McGuinness vomits on his chest in fear. This could have been averted if not for the fact that Kurt Russell has spotted himself on camera and is waving to family.
Thanks,
Greig Morrison

Watching Enola Holmes 2, and I ask again, why isn't Helena Bonham Carter being asked to be Doctor Who.
She would be perfect.

Watching FIFA Uncovered on Netflix and now wondering if anyone is making a Eurovison Song Contest equivalent... I would watch the shit out of that.

Dear Jim,
Please paint me Mr. Blobby having his mugshot taken in a police station having clearly been involved in a physical altercation. Meanwhile, Noel Edmonds is dressed in ladies lingerie and is giving a statement to a police officer that resembles Captain Jack Sparrow. There are empty Dr. Pepper cans everywhere.
Many thanks,
Chris

I really enjoy using on pictures. Not only does it help those people who need it (something I never considered before using Mastodon, sadly) but it adds extra context to my posts. Fun all round.

My adventures with fountain pens continue. I changed the ink in my Preppy pens today. Rinsed out the ink cartridges, maybe I can refill them. The black is not "black black" so slightly disappointed. They seem to flow better than the original ink (?) or is that me?

Dear Jim,
Please could you paint me Jarvis Cocker sideways on a London tube in a fireman's outfit playing the harpsichord.
Kind regards,

I may have made myself a new handbag.
With beetle lining.
I'm proud of and in love with it in equal measure.

Dear Jim,

Please paint me Robocop at the checkout in Tesco, trying to decide if its worth 10p for a bag for life. He has bought a shitload of Soreen so he's going to need something sturdy.

That would be magic.
