11.5 months ago, we had to put our cat down with no warning. We marked on the forms that we didn’t want the ashes — it hurt too much and we just wanted to be done with that part of things.
About 3 weeks later, a package showed up at the door with a giant “Cremated Remains” sticker on the side.

My work soundtrack changes every few days/weeks. Right now it’s an endless loop of PJ Harvey demos, and it’s been perfect for getting things done.

How does the DC convention center manage to feel subterranean even when you’re on the 2nd or 3rd floor?
I love sleeping in my own bed during a trade show, but damn this might be the worst “big” convention center on the circuit.

No rally. Too much for her tiny body. Fuck.
Day 6 of health watch for the tiny cat. She’s only 2 days out from surgery, so the vet thinks she can still rally. Man, I hope so. Barely moved from her blanket all day.

Moving out of the city makes all the boring spots exciting again.
District Taco? You couldn’t have paid me to grab lunch there again in 2019. Now? What a delicious dinner!

Tiny girl cat got very sick and has been in vet critical care for a few days.
Big boy cat had been mostly been doing ok. But tonight, right when I was about to go to bed, he flopped down next to me on the couch and demanded about 20 minutes of pets and chin scratches. Sure bud, whatever you need.

I went to college with a bunch of Pirates fans (and eventually married one).
The team is lucky that: their colors match the other pro teams, they were interesting+good in multiple eras ripe for Mitchell & Ness-style nostalgia, and ppl have empathy for underachievers.

Like most teenagers of my era, I did the Columbia House cd thing. I was 13, and the first D’Angelo album was in my batch of free cds.
Unfortunately, my mother intercepted the package and saw the song title "Shit, Damn, Motherfucker" — that was a no-go.

As a NJ native who grew up in Springsteen country, Bruce means many things to me. He contains multitudes. He is not, however, cooler than Johnny Cash.
now listen, yall know i love me some bruce springsteen, but you need your head examined if you think he seems cool next to johnny cash!!
Ah yes, famously uncool singer Johnny Cash. I am glad noted arbiter of cool the Wall Street Journal is willing to reconsider his case.
