buggs’ life

goggles + scarves = better day, no matter what

There are some days at work so crappy even catdogs can’t help, but hand-holding buggs in goggles and scarves will always help.

You are so good to me, Buggs! Can’t remember if I had a crappy day then, but this would have cured it, for sure.

Oh, Buggs. I totally know that. The knowledge that you will always like to hold hands is the bedrock of my very existence.

I’m glad they like it; I’m not a fan, myself, but I do like their cosplay!

I am not gonna lie: The Blues Brothers is a very important film in my world. Not least because it’s set against a fantastic backdrop of blues and what it can be like to be in a band, but mostly because I’m from Chicago and Chicago is practically the third star of the movie.

Also, it contains the best example of what happens in Chicago all the time: Where people in the street randomly start to dance. True story. We all learn group choreography in PE, and we’re not supposed to tell anyone, but I like you guys, so.

ANYWAY. I love that the Buggs got to watch this, and I love even more that they are cosplaying the brothers. SO MUCH LOVE.

I bet those outfits are super-easy to make.

They’ve got the “dancing and screaming” thing down.

I will never not love Mrs Bugg with her pi symbol, nor Darth Vader with a juice box.

The Buggs love anything that has good cosplay possibilities.

Fun fact: My dad and brother compete in the Great Race every year — except this year, my brother’s company wouldn’t let him take time off to do the race.

My dad ended up getting a friend to navigate, but Loki offered to help out in any way he could, because he is a sweetie.

Yeah, the first half of this year was pretty stressful for both of us.

Sadly, the second half isn’t doing much better, and in a lot of ways, it’s worse.

I’m hoping that, by the time you read this post, things have started looking up in the Bugg household. Fingers crossed!

Not in that creepy way, either.

Guys, beheadings make you happy — not me.

I do loves me some jumping buggs, though!

(Also, although we weren’t to know then, the new job turned out to be crap. Alas.)

There are few things cuter than a bugg mash note, you guys.

flip phones

I have no idea why the Buggs love flip phones so much, but it’s pretty damn cute.

using P90s on orcs hardly seems fair

I would not have thought that a world created by Tolkien would have a Stargate address, but there you go. Clearly the Buggs’ supercomputer is superior to that in the SGC.

That is literally the only cockroach I have not been physically repulsed by.

Also: that scene in space with the fire extinguisher? Genius.

a little puddle jumper like this?

We can name it later!

Also: nice life-signs detector, Mr Bugg!

(And yes, my friends built me a Milky Way gate, not a Pegasus one, but puddle jumpers are awesome and I would totally fly one, too, if I were the Buggs and the only limitation was my imagination, so hush your mouth.)

I have the best friends ever, you guys.

wasabi peanuts

True story: Our neighborhood grocery started carrying hard-shelled wasabi peanuts in bulk, and I ate so many of them over the course of about six months that I put on ten pounds. Those fuckers are addicting like whoa.
