Tyrgannus

It's nice to return to GAPP HQ after being stuck in F̊͊ͤe͊̾̂b̉ͬ̍r̔́̾u̐̿̈á̘̈́r̊̋́y̑͆͆ ̋̿͋2̈̇͒nͭ̓ͤd͒͑͆ ͦf̔̌̚ỏ̿ͭr̀̎ͥ ͐͋̓a̒̂̅ ͑̑͌w͓̪̰eͬ̌ͥe̍̆ͮk͓̉̄. I would very much like to decompress after all this...wait...
Is that a new lamp on my desk? Huh! Don't remember this being here. It's new, but familiar. Like a lava lamp, but with more rooster tail. Hey, I know what it is!

Today's GAPP is a Cocktail Lamp!

Rules: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells within a region form a single orthogonally connected group. Cells separated by a region border can't both be shaded. All groups of shades must diagonally connect across regions to all form a single, diagonally connected network. Regions are not required to have shades. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
