Gentlemen, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so please be mindful of whether your lady prefers gold or silver. If she only uses silver and you buy her a gold amulet, she'll be forced to recalibrate all her alchemetrics before she can harness its arcane power

You ever wake up with a scrap of melody in your head and then, as you foggily trace it back, realize it's from a demo clip of a Russian Twilight musical that never happened? 30 seconds of Carlisle warning Bella that human life is a gift from god? Or

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

The perennial hope my writing will be received with a mixture of horror & fear and not "monsieur, another note" / "ughhh..."
posting my writing online always feels like the part of The Phantom of the Opera where he pops up out of nowhere and says “I HAVE WRITTEN YOU AN OPERA…”

Just clicked on a video and was confused at seeing the Valentine's-themed intro; surely this is an old upload? Valentine's was last year. And then: oh

Setting my Slack status to "Worried about my geranium"
I have, I think, entered the dotty/batty stage of my relationship with my second most difficult aunt: she sends me long texts that require long explanations & I give a detailed response & she texts back things like, “Oh!” or “My!” or “Hooray!” or “Off to lunch!” or “Worried about my geranium.”
