Dr. Sensei and I have been chipping away at #Paranormasight, and we hit a spot where we seemed like we were stuck

But Dr. Sensei came up with what sounded like a nonsense suggestion

AND IT WORKED?

So yeah, this game is *wild*

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Yeah, these next three weeks are going to be ROUGH

I'm already behind for the week because I had a bunch of meetings sprung on me, and a bunch of tickets finally got answered after I turned things off last Monday

And that's on top of choir stuff and other plans

I keep seeing videos with titles like "This FAILED 80s Cartoon - The TRUE Story" & it's a show with 78 episodes that aired every afternoon for 5 years.

The frequent ones:
-"Can you recommend a book for me?" (no, unless it's manga)
-"Do you know the Dewey Decimal System?" (no, but I'm down with the LCC)
-"You must like books, huh?" (they're fine?)
-"Isn't everything online now?" (Who do you think makes it do you can get the good online stuff?)
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Mmmm, few things are as satisfying as making soup without needing to check the recipe, nailing the seasoning on the first go (usually it needs at least *some* adjusting?)

Oh, and then eating said soup, which is avgolemono, probably my favorite of all the soups 🤤

*Finally* finished the newest #Defunctland

That was a TRIP

"...and to be clear, that's 'gaze' with a 'z'" 😂

New pair arrived today

As soon as I put them on and zipped them up I was like "OOOOOOOO" 😮

1. Thanks to choir friend who clued me in that the store now carried "short" inseams (I needed it...even still they're almost too long)
2. I will need to buy another pair or two in the not-too-distant future
😑 Nothing like folding laundry from the dryer and noticing you can see *through* a spot in your favorite pair of jeans that shouldn't be see-through

Guess I need to buy a new pair? And I guess they had a good run?

Grrr, they finally enshittified the YouTube casting on my old Chromecast (so now there's a ton more ads, including the obnoxiously long ones that you have to jump to hit "skip" on)....

It used to be that the Chromecast app was better than other platforms? Now it's the same level of shitty? 😩

Guys, I don't care *how* good your fancy-pants strawberries are (or that FreshDirect is more expensive than most).......

I'm not spending $35 on fancy strawberry/anko spread........I can buy SO MANY packs of anko and fresh (normal) strawberries for that (and have money left over for mochi nuggets)

We saw #RentalFamily and it was really good? I liked that it didn't fall into really easy story cliches (or do much hand-holding) and the characters were interesting

Plus it was amusing to hear a famous American actor speaking Japanese for parts of the movie?

Good thing these theater recliner seats work, because my feet don't reach the floor otherwise 😅

My mom, explaining what a local pizza place had: "it's pizza dough but inside is a chicken caesar salad"

Me (who told her about the #Handwich yesterday): "So....a handwich?"

Mom: "....yeah, exactly"

*Puts on pajamas*
".....why do I suddenly smell stuffing???"

............this is what I get for making stuffing while still in my pajamas this morning 😅

At least it's a pleasant smell?

In the final-ish phases of clearing out my old room, and this poster collage was back behind my old bed for AGES

Not *only* did I have the giant random collages, but when I was taking it apart there were bonus ones behind (and it's funny that Ranma is a thing again)

Behold, #ThanksgivingDinner

The turkey, stuffing, and green beans I cooked myself 😁

Dinner isn't for a while yet, but this is always how it goes 😆

The stuffing is done, the green beans are basically ready to come out of the oven, next is turkey time

Thankfully my work is mostly done after the turkey goes in the oven? (Because I am tired..........)

Since the weather is unseasonably warm today (and will be cold after today), we've moved the annual family tradition of "bickering while putting up Christmas lights" up to today 😮‍💨

"I am pleased to inform you that after a thorough review of your academic and professional accomplishments, a recommendation will be made to the Board of Trustees...for your seventh annual appointment with tenure..." 🥳

Very good news to bring to my parents for Thanksgiving 😁

Sitting in a webinar and just had to disable the chat preview because people WON'T STOP ASKING POINTLESS QUESTIONS (and they're supposed to be putting actual questions in the Q&A anyway)....

People, the trainer JUST SAID it's not available yet....CHILL....
November 24, 2025 at 7:19 PM
.... Just got to make it through today....

(Took off the next two days and have off the rest of the week.... if I didn't have meetings today I probably would have taken today off too...)
