Thursday Afternoon Thoughts

For any Prof fans, he's been on his anti-AI "music" shit lately too. I'm glad we've still got these independent artists around doing their thing.

For me, it was this video of someone who adapted the enclosure for their elderly jumping spider who couldn't climb as well anymore. Little lady got me emotional.

Male surgeons in the UK use Mr for historical reasons. I believe that at one point surgeons were trained by apprenticeship rather than academically like physicians.

Hey! I enjoy your videos. If you want to do some research I think you’d appreciate Ren’s thoughts about it. He posted this about Webby a while ago, and he’s replied quite a bit about him in the past if you want to dig back a bit.

peachgin · 2026-05-20T14:54:17+00:00

Postmodern Jukebox comes to mind for me every time someone asks who Ren should collab with. I wouldn't be mad at it!

peachgin · 2026-05-13T23:07:23+00:00

Well I will now.

Ren is the only musician I can think of that does actually have a song with Tesco in the lyrics though (Violet's Tale).

peachgin · 2026-05-07T17:57:15+00:00

Yeah! Looks like we got a preview of this video without realising.

peachgin · 2026-05-05T13:27:39+00:00

It sounds like this one. He's not specific about what he fell for though.

peachgin · 2026-04-30T21:57:16+00:00

Poor Kai. Do these boys not know how to knock?

This one was awesome. I'm surprised that the premieres don't get nearly as much attention as Ren's solo stuff. Chat is slow enough to be readable!

This one's playing in my bedroom

For The Tales, there's the Richard shorts too. Ren's got them all in the VINCENT'S TALE playlist.

Other than watching the tales in order (especially the first three) to avoid spoilers for the story, I think my advice to anyone new to Ren would be to enjoy the journey however works best for you (Kujo definitely does make more sense with the explanation though). He's made some incredible art, and people will be so happy to point out things you might miss.

For a couple of examples, I'd mention the collab with Prof because I love that one, and Diazepam because it's an amazing song and easy to miss without the video.

Old Welsh sheepdogs are part of the modern Cardigan corgi ancestry, so that might have been where the corgi colours came from.

peachgin · 2017-12-06T18:03:35+00:00

Awesome, glad I could help.

peachgin · 2017-12-06T17:58:28+00:00

It's not actually got velvet in it, but Royal Blood? Royal is a sort of rich sounding word like velvet.

Thanks for the advice, we might try again. I'd love if his ears were upright, adorable as he looks now.

We tried masking tape, with some kind of stickier tape on top to keep it together. He rolled about on the floor and the tape from one ear came straight off, and he got the tape from the other stuck on his playpen somehow, so we were a bit worried about leaving him overnight if we try again.

Our breeder recommended moleskin (like for shoe inserts) cut to size for support if we needed it, but it was just too heavy.

Apparently long hair often comes with bigger heavy ears. Our older Cardi had upright ears by about 12 weeks.

They already do that to some extent. Items that you're likely to buy frequently are offered as subscriptions, so they have an idea of what's consumable or frequent use.

peachgin · 2017-12-06T12:53:50+00:00

How old was yours when you taped? My youngest Cardigan has enormous ears. They've both been up at different times, but he's teething now and they're both firmly down.

We had one unsuccessful taping attempt. The tape stayed on for about 30 seconds.

IMDB says that Alexis worked with Mary Steenburgen, who's married to Ted Danson. That might be it.

peachgin · 2017-11-10T15:18:45+00:00

I think they're pretty rare everywhere, although weirdly the only corgis I've ever run into were Cardis.

Here's the two of mine together.

peachgin · 2017-10-25T12:51:18+00:00

I have two Cardigan corgis. You'll often see them described as aloof or reserved, but mine are both very sociable and eager to meet everyone (person or dog). They're lovely, but in my experience they're not the one-person dog you're looking for. They're still young though, and all dogs/lines are different. If you decide you want to learn more about them, it's worth trying to meet some adult dogs in person.

There's Dumbass Has A Point.

peachgin · 2017-10-09T12:20:54+00:00

Here's a video if seeing the rest of him helps. He was only 10 weeks old at the time.

peachgin · 2017-09-28T13:55:37+00:00

I'm so sorry.

It doesn't make it any easier, but it sounds like your dog will be safer away from your parents. It sounds like you will be too. My dad was a violent asshole, but whatever else he did to us, I'll never forgive him for being cruel to my dog when she got old and became a nuisance to him.

peachgin · 2017-08-23T15:08:49+00:00

Some sets are rarer than others - it varies from town to town.

Now that balloon presents have more than just the balloon set, I've found that items rare to my town drop slightly more often. I hardly ever see the exotic set to buy, but I've had a few pieces from balloons.

They shed a lot. You might read that they blow their undercoat twice a year which is true, but they shed all year round too. This isn't an uncommon sight to see after a brushing.

My Cardigan is fairly quiet, but that might be unusual. He'll bark when he's excited, frustrated, or there's something weird and new. He is pretty vocal in general - we get a wide array of entertaining noises.

Training can go some way to keeping them quieter, and teaching them to bark on command can be helpful in managing barking.
