The Bunday Evening Thumps

Charlie from an art night earlier in the week.

Bun evening, Everybunny!

We're knocking on wood and loafing about, tucks out and all.

Charlie has been doing pretty well since Friday without any additional Metacam, so the standing question remains, "What gives!?"

No matter, we enjoy the moments.

We didn't do any evening art last night; we hung out, and it was good and precious.

This morning we were up and ready for breakfast before the biped, and the misfolded protein thought he won the lotto.

Of course, he's still short on sleep, and keeps on doing not the zombie stomp, but the zombie schlep. No, he ain't no Iron Man.

And yours truly? I'm looking for the next article to get my teeth into in the Science mag. They go well with my apple sticks. My hoomin is worried.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

"Could you not!?"

"Biped!? Bipedddddd!!!!???"

"Eat your heart out, biped!"

Charlie the Tuck Out Puddle Princess

Bun morning, Everybun!

We're keeping our appendices crossed and hoping for a slow, boring weekend. 

I think Charlie is doing well, but it's hard to tell sometimes. Her appetite is good,
but she's not as mobile or animated as she used to be. My hoomin feels like he has no yardstick for this new "normal." What is OK, what is not, when is the time for a dose of Metacam outside of the "normal routine?" By "normal routine," he means a dose before the expression appointment and one the day after. When is a gut feeling a signal to act on and when is it just a part of crippling unease?

I think extra naps are in order today. The sorry biped doesn't get much sleep these days. He tries to stay up when we're most active in the evening and doodle. Of course we can do that
because we sleep the next day all we want. And so it goes.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

We're doing well; we're trying to catch up on naps. As expected, no bunny got any sleep last night. Misguided unfortunates kept blowing up stuff ad infinitum.

Possibly tangential to that is another article from a recent issue of the Science magazine that borders on bunfiction, titled "Toward life with a 19-amino acid alphabet through generative artificial intelligence design." It's a very short, human-readable piece about creating synthetic life using 1 fewer building block than the 20 canonical ones used by all life forms on Earth.

The article describes how that was accomplished but does not elaborate on whether that's a good idea. We are deeply concerned with this type of "hold my nannerini and watch this" messin' about in a petri dish.

If you need a concrete example of "life engineering" gone sideways, consider what last night sounded like.

Are those cases of pyromania short an amino acid of a full set of building blocks? We urge the authors of the article to go out into their neighborhoods and have a good look around. Of course, any self-respecting Science Officer for the Devil would argue that it was just bound to be discovered sooner or later. Just like someone had to split the atom.

And to add insult to injury, calling such a chimera any kind of "toward life" is a next-level twist of the shiv. 

That said, last night we tried to help our hoomin in his never-ending quest to "capture" us with the fewest pen strokes on paper. Here's to another boring bunday, and more arting tonight.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

P.S.: Here's the article if you wish to get your eye dirty: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aeb5171 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

We're doing well. Charlie got her last dose of Trimeth/Sulfa Thursday evening, and now we wait. That's the unnerving part. As an aside, bun would think that after all this "unnerving," the hoomin would be completely unnerved, but somehow, there's always more nerves to be unnerved. What gives!?

As you can see above, we're constantly coming up with more of those "this has to be painted" things. I mean, where do I start and where does Charlie start? Sorry hoomin, you'll always be on the outside looking in.

That said, the hoomin has to tar pit today. That's OK, it still beats the other, grimmer alternatives. 

Of course, we'll be arting tonight. Nobunny will get any sleep, so we may as well make the best of it. We have enough cookies to last us till the morning.

We'll keep you posted!

Pancake

Yes! Let's go with it: "Deer detection limits in astronomical imaging using self-supervised spatiotemporal denoising." You can't make it up!

- Thank you, Renee and Brad!

PS: Bunlife - the adventures never end, and new ones sprout all over - there's something new on the drafting table.

Here's the original article in the Science magazine: "Deeper detection limits in astronomical imaging using self-supervised spatiotemporal denoising." 

But if you didn't coffee enough, or it was too early when you tried to read that title, the "Deer" is so much easier. So much easier ;-) If there isn't a story about deer detection limits in astronomical imaging, there ought to be one ;-) And would it not be a much better telltale sign of intelligent life out there than whatever it is we're expecting?

Pretzel and Potato Chip

Um, we're expecting a little care package. Can you forget all about it, eh? 

... dur, dur, dur ...  
Contraband, hoomin, are you talking to us!?
Of course not; just some oat hay.
I mean cookies. Yeah - cookies, that's it!

- Thank you, Jen, and SFHRR

The Bunday Evening Thumps

"Charlie - Bunstorm Rolling In" - future 36 x 46

Good evening, Everybun!

Knock on wood, the best we can do today is to give you a drought report. We're still waiting for the skies to cough up a raindrop over here. The skies get groovy and cloudy, the heavens start to wrtch and dry heave with thunder, and nothing comes out.

Our strawberry ain't doin' any too good. It tried to produce a berry, but it's too miserable out there, and we think it gave up. Should we protest with a strongly worded post or a letter?

Back in the burrow, my hoomin is trying to squeeze all he can out of the day, but complains that napping like we do does not feel like squeezing anything out of anything.

He's been looking at Charlie's photo taken this week and still can't comprehend the skyscape that she is. She's even more stunning in black and white - nobunny wears it THAT well. Of course, that "this has to be painted" list gets longer and longer. Should he paint "just" a portrait? Or the full body? First one, then the other?

I get it. This is my bunwife, why do you think I feel so lucky!?

Good night and good luck!
- Gus 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

Charlie binkied! On Thursday, Charlie binkied! First, she flew some steep turns around my hoomin and then went straight up into the air - all for a crummy cookie? Maybe she was feeling this much better. She lifted off a solid two inches, maybe even two and a sixteenth - but she did! 

Yes, it sounds like something so tiny it could have happened only in the Super Collider at CERN, where they smash things to find disaprprovons and other subatomic particles, but it happened! 

Oh, everybunny got notified at once. Good Dr. Zellner was so glad to get THAT update. But how did we get to the binky?

On M*nd*y, during Charlie's bladder expression appointment, Dr. Zellner agreed that something was brewing again. So, Charlie went back on Trimeth/Sulfa - for ten days this time.

Charlie improved almost immediately, and once more we're enjoying a quiet stretch. We are in the evenings, enjoy that one paw going in front of the other.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

It's been a quiet day. My hoomin convinced himself Charlie was in some kinda trouble yesterday and his marbles were popping out. 

I sayz, "Well, what you need to do is make an appointment for yourself and have your brain bladder expressed. Maybe get that brain stone you've been passing softened up a little. Have that worry grid flushed out. Let me get one of my shivs and see if I can let some sub-q fluids out of you!? It may help; you never know. Cause, you know - you never know."

Well, he brought out extra treats, and I shut up. But my offer still stands!
Even Buntie Susan came out to assess his mess, and yes, he was mostly off his rocker.

That said, we cleaned up today's breakfast like there was no tomorrow. So, he's convinced things are better today. And boring. 

Yes, there will be arting tonight again. 

Good night and good luck!
- Gus 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

We're keeping our paws and fingers crossed - we have a good, boring week in progress. Charlie recovered from the M*nd*y appointment pretty quickly, and it's been snacks, naps, and arting ever since.

She's mad, super mad, this morning though. Oh, nothing much, just the daily fluids, you know. But they went great  - as far as sub-q fluids can go. It only took one stab, the flow was very good, and she gladly accepted two - that's two - chunks of papaya!

Then she immediately went into hiding. Which sends my hoomin reeling. But, now we're hoping for a boring, bun Day of Summer. It's been brutally hot this week. We'll try to chill and nap. My hoomin will clear out this morning, and won't be checking on us every five minutes. Or, you know, spying on us from his tar pit throne, sneaking pics like the last one, taken through the bookshelf. And he wonders why he can't get anything done at the pits - sorry sod.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Gus, The Studio Forebun, "Yeah. We're doing this one next."

Good evening, Everybun!

That right there is the whole game - hoomin sneaking peeks at me while he works, and Gus telling him what the next project will be.

Gus pulled out some old sketches from a drawer and spread them out on the floor, and that was that.

We're having a really quiet, boring, Bun day of Summer. It's so quiet you can hear Charlie's little snores and squeaks - everything else is bunnana gravy. 

That's where the paws are tonight - we'll put one in front of the other tomorrow morning.

And wish us luck at tomorrow's bladder appointment.  

Good night and good luck!
- Charlie 

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Wednesday evening, Charlie and Gus as "The Studio Forebuns"

Hellos, Everybunny!

Asking for a friend, but we're in the "boring" part of the week, right? We're doing well now, but we had a rough start last M*nd*y. Charlie's bladder expression went well; she got rid of more regolith, and things went downhill from there. The expression must have been more irritating than usual, or maybe she was still a little irritated from the previous week. Nobunny knows - she's not the kind that tells. It took her until Wednesday evening to return to her "normal."

OK, OK, it was not regolith, it was this rough, chunky sludge crystals, but may as well be regolith. You rub that stuff against the lining of your gizzard and tell me how it feels.

Poor hoomin didn't know what to do with himself. When he tried to hang around us, Charlie would bolt every time.

We could barely art together in the evenings. The sorry sod kept as far away as he could. But, art we did. And it went pretty well, all things considered. 
By Thursday morning, you could hardly tell that something was off. So, bladder stones, sludge, and UTIs are all exhausting. Managing the condition can get very tedious and trying. Staying put, and knowing when not to do stuff, recognizing that just doing more can do more harm than good. Unfortunately, it only comes with experience, the help of a bunderful v.e.t., and bunny-savvy friends.

Now, me thinks that extra naps are on order for today, and you bet we'll art it up this evening!

We'll keep you posted!
- Gus
