“What’s wrong, babe? You haven’t touched your thanksgiving pizza.”
It’s the green beans and “gravy drizzle” where they lose me. This strikes me as an aggressively awful idea, but in all honesty I’d try it.

It’s not much, but we do now have snow. The dogs were unimpressed.

Shout out to everyone who puts up outdoor Thanksgiving decorations, helping maintain a buffer zone between Halloween and Christmas. You’re the real ones.

There are now bananas that have Zootopia 2 character stickers on them. Just letting you know in case any of you are fans of the franchise and are in the market for a banana.

“And this is where the magic happens” I say as I open my bedroom door with a flourish, revealing shelf upon shelf of top hats, trick cabinets, assorted interlocking metal rings, and cages containing white rabbits.

I may need to check this out— a gallery show of art inspired by Chicago’s cryptids. The poster featuring a mothman standing astride an L car holding a hot dog and mustard makes a compelling argument. www.theseventhcornergallery.com/shows/chicag...

It’s like if the Yellowstone caldera started erupting months ago and has been erupting ever since but instead of ash it’s erupting thousands of cubic kilometers of liquid excrement and while we’re coping with that we learn that they stopped making candy corn. Thats how I feel about the Cheney thing.

TIL of Down to Earth, an ’80s sitcom about a flapper who gets run over by a streetcar in 1925 and is sent back to earth 60 years later to become a family’s ghost angel maid, as one does. The opening credits tell the entire story of the show and are a full 90 seconds long. youtu.be/yT5ghnY3Prw?...

Giant Dog & I went to the forest preserve off leash dog area Saturday & walked about a 2 mile loop. She enjoyed it except for the parts that were just a trail though tall grass, when another dog and their person came from the other direction it made her nervous and she had to press up against me.

In the end we got a little over 30 trick or treaters. I’m posting this so I can check back next year and maybe not overbuy candy like I have every year we’ve been here.

We only had one kid in a K-Pop Demon Hunter themed costume visit the house (Rumi), but one neighbor had a lovely Derpy Tiger Jack-o-lantern. Extra points for the knocked over flower pot next to it.

Today is that special day I set aside time to dress up in an opossum kigurumi and wander around the neighborhood going from house to house: Friday.

An Amazon deep discount site had sales offering screen protectors for cybertrucks, a gold plastic dollar sign pendant, and a bunch of Punisher skull decals, all for a penny each. Somewhere I guess there’s someone I probably wouldn’t have a lot to talk about with who got their shopping done for 3¢.

I only recently learned Affy Tapples, a brand of packaged apples dipped in caramel and rolled in peanuts, are historically a Chicago thing. If you haven’t had one: they’re okay. Love the aggressively mid-century box art with the cartoon dude wearing an apron and bow tie. Are you familiar with these?
