The same as I ever was: lots of writing, lots of complaining. But almost never complaining about writing.

They made cheesecake on Bale Off a few weeks ago and I've been craving cheesecake ever since so it's time to make my Junior's cheesecake copycat: www.food.com/recipe/junio...
(This is the only cheesecake I really like, it has spoiled me for all other cheesecakes)

Junior's Famous Cheesecake Recipe - Food.com
When I orignally posted this back in Jan 2002, I said I had not tried this recipe because it looked like a lot of work. Flash forward to Easter 2007.

The worst part about writing high fantasy for me is that I can never remember what I've called anything and i spend so much time searching through the document to find things. (Should I just write stuff for reference at the end of the document? YES. But I fail and never do lol)

One of the real developmental challenges for Bluesky over the past year is that the site hadn’t been fun, because *2025 hasn’t been fun.*
The vibes under fascism are rarely gonna be uplifting.

I watch this Mysteries of the Abandoned show because sometimes I just want something on in the background while I respond to comments and I feel like this show is mostly "humans build lots of things for war and then pretend it never happened"

Absolutely beyond me that every kid in my life has been taught by their teachers that Wikipedia is garbage while they take everything AI tells them as gospel because that's all their teachers use

My least favorite part about writing is the EDITING. Which I say out loud because it's why I don't get the point of ChatGPT et al. The only thing worse than editing to me is editing something that came from something that's not my own brain.

I am in charge of my grandmother this week, so we are watching her usual, NCIS, and on the screen one of the agents went off on her own and then called in and Gibbs was like, "Where are you!!" and I'm sorry, just like, no way this guy doesn't have Life360 on all of these agents at all times.

We get these roving bands of motorcyclists that periodically freak everybody out by en masse ignoring all traffic laws and every time I encounter one and get surrounded by armies of motorcycles I think, ... imagine KNOWING that many people????? My motorcycle gang would be six people lol

The "best" thing about generative AI and its environmental destructiveness is I now get to feel virtuous like I'm doing the planet a lot of good by choosing to write my own emails.

I find "it's like riding a bike" to be the silliest saying. Every time I have to ride a bike thirty years removed from my childhood, I am terrified and wobbly and get off immediately to avoid breaking a leg lol. Definitely not something that comes back to me easily.

I watch this show called Mysteries of the Abandoned. It's whatever. It doesn't require much thought, which is what I look for when winding down. What most fascinates me about it was how the historians interviewed all speak! So! Dramatically! Some better than others. I can't look away lol

Wrote a whole fic about a world where children are required to be genetically optimized to be "useful." It's a dystopia.
Apparently, Silicon Valley thinks eugenics is the only way to save humanity from AI-fueled extinction. They insist their eugenics isn't bad eugenics, because theirs involves parents choosing to screen and selectively implant embryos based on genetically predicted IQ. But choice is a slippery slope.

I reread Waiting for Godot for the first time since college and I'm just like quietly blown away in this way that snuck up on me through a deceptively easy read.

Why is there so much liquid in a bottle of Afrin Nasal Spray? I can only use it twice a day for three days max, and then I can't use it again with a different cold because of germ spread, so I'm always throwing out practically full bottles. Is that much volume needed for the spray mechanism to work?

I started rewatching Seinfeld because with my cold that seemed the level I was at and I'm amazed how early classic episodes like the pony remark one and the Chinese restaurant one happened.

You know how people say pets are so empathetic, they can totally tell when you're not feeling well and need comfort?

I know I say this all the time but it's so striking how much people with dementia progress backward in age, basically. Today my grandmother woke my parents up at 645am complaining she was hungry and demanding food -- exactly the way an infant would wake you up crying over hunger.
