What's Bully Reading? 2024 #19: Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack

It's been a while since I read a Star Trek novel — I haven't followed them since the Novelverse was destroyed in order to put the Paramount+'s post-Nemesis canon TV timeline in its place — but this was a pretty good one. It's a prequel to the first season of Picard (and made me appreciate that season a lot more) that fills in the details and the history of the Romulan star's destruction and Picard's attempts to provid escape and harbor to the Romulans on their affected, soon-to-die worlds.

Bully Eats Food: A homemade lunch

John made me lunch! Chicken salad and Swiss on a pretzel roll, Hot 'n' Spicy Cheese-It's, and Dr Pepper Strawberries and Cream Zero Sugar!


Since I am wearing my kilt this week, I asked him for haggis, but he said the bodega was out of sheeps' stomachs.

Kitty Pryde 🐈‍⬛: More songs to embarrass my cat

Made up a new song to sing to Kitty Pryde 🐈‍⬛

🎶 Where's the cat, she's under the bed
Under the bed with a funny-shaped head
She's not here or even there
She's under the bed in her underwear! 🎶

(response from Kitty: critical glare)

Uncle Owen, this Klein bottle is defective

Also on my walk today, I discovered the entrance to the Keebler Factory. I'm waitin' here until they let the day shift out and then I'm gonan sneak in. Those cookies shall be mine.
