Uncanny X-Men #303. I didn't know a single thing about any of the characters or their world when I picked it up, but the story hooked me into starting a 20-year collection hobby.

Back when the "Rock Band" game series was a popular pastime with my local friends and family, I conceived of the Tongue Twister Trio Playlist:

• Billy Joel, "We Didn't Start the Fire"
• REM, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"
• Barenaked Ladies, "One Week"
okay what’s everyone’s most delusionally aspirational karaoke selection

like if you knew you could not fail, what’s the biggest / weirdest swing you would take

mine might be Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand”

Burned a couple fingers on my hand last night, like an idiot 🙄 Went to pick up a glass lid that had been sitting out atop oven mitts on the counter for fifteen minutes after having been covering dinner in the oven for over an hour. Quickly discovered — nope, still quite hot. 😖

I didn't know a single thing about the album (or the artist), except that the album contained the theme song to what was my favorite TV show at the time, and that the artist was also the TV show's narrator.

#cpap help needed.

My husband got a stuffy nose and couldn't breathe with his mask on. He's already using Flonase but it didn't help enough last night.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The cpap is helping and I don't want him falling off using it.

Someday I may get around to actually making the meme image that's been bouncing around my head: A simple one-point perspective drawing, with three headshot photos: Jamie Farr in the distant background, Glenn Close dominating the foreground, and Bette Midler halfway in between the two.

I hope you all read this from me.
To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

I see this bottle every day and my brain still momentarily wants to pronounce "ceramides" like the name of a Greek playwright.

Sophocles, Euripides, Ceramides!

Music festival idea:

Multipalooza — only bands with repetitious names, like The The, Talk Talk, Everything Everything, Frou Frou, Wet Wet Wet, Duran Duran, Xiu Xiu, and Django Django.

The smaller stages could feature the Goo Goo Dolls, Tom Tom Club, Hot Hot Heat, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, and so on.
