New Year's Bluesky reintroduction:
I am 51, living in Hillsboro, Oregon. Commuting to a cubicle job in Portland. I came to Bluesky during the great untwittering of Nov 2024. I enjoy playing guitar, writing about pop culture, and remembering when everything wasn't terrible.

Judge: Young man, the jury found you guilty of murdering your stepfather. Any words before I determine your sentence?
He said I couldn't leave the table until I ate all of the creamed corn I was served.
Judge: Time served. You are free to go with my apologies, sir.

I want to give a quick Presidents' Day shoutout to my man George Washington. What a badass this guy was. There were a number of times that he bluffed against the British when, in reality, he didn't even have enough guns to engage in an actual battle. He had the iciness to make them believe him.

The Instant Pot is great and all but I'm a little wary of witchcraft. You set a timer for 40 minutes and the beans are done? Do we really understand the forces at work here?

This one is a "it's your weekend to stay with your father and you're listening to his radio station as you drive down I-5 to his place" song.
Also, side note that any time the phrase "making love" comes up in one of these 70s it feels gross in a bad way.

Made some bourbon chicken marinade which required a little sampling of the bourbon for, you know, quality control purposes. For future reference, you'll feel that at 9am with nothing in your stomach. 22-year-old me would have said, "Oh, it looks like it's going to be one of THOSE days."
