I almost peed laughing
A local artist traded me some odd objects for some of my art. One was a soup bomb. I assumed ”bomb” meant it was for the bath, maybe a little vegetal. My mom LOVES baths.

Turns out it was soup. In a ball. And my mom had to call for help to get out of the bathtub.

I wrote a song inspired by a true story. To the tune of Popular: Baklava! You're gonna eat baklava!

Wallace Shawn was canvassing for Zohran yesterday in my neighborhood and I missed it. Inconceivable!

"You need to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time". I chose my 3:00 appointment time because that's when I can arrive, now you tell me to arrive at 2:45. So 2:45 is really my appointment time. Maybe you all should factor in those 15 minutes into your appointments, because this is silly.

How would you react if you walked into a bagel shop and they asked you to wait outside because they open at 7am and it's 6:58?

The clue for 7 across in the NYT mini for today is "What Santa, Gandalf and Dumbledore each have". 5 letters and somehow "elves" isn't the answer but it's totally true. (Also boo JK Rowling.)

I can't sleep so instead my brain reminded me of that time at a middle school dance when I asked a boy to dance and he said no and a minute later I heard him say to a friend, "You'll never guess who just asked me to dance" and then he realized I heard him. Thanks brain!

@cignahealthcare.bsky.social continues to make me miserable and waste my time and energy. That's the update.

My least favorite kind of Teams message: "I just emailed you, can you check it when you get a chance?"
That was already my plan, in fact!

British coworker: can you send this request? If I do it, I'll get shot.
Me: I don't know, as an American, I'm way more likely to get shot.
Too dark?

This whole covid has killed my senses of taste and smell thing is so odd. What do I want for dinner? Chewy and wet no flavor? Soft and cold nothing?
