Chapter One of my silly travelogue has concluded, so this will just be an interlude of disconnected blather until we cross the ocean. We’re still making it to Stonehenge, though. Make no mistake.
I’m sorry I ever doubted you, Palmolive. You are a very effective dishwashing soap. I just could never convince myself that olives had palms but hey what do I know.

That point where screaming into the void has become drooling into the abyss. I could probably write a story about that. Oh well, let’s see what everyone’s up to on Reddit.

Writing an hour long album on GarageBand (that hardly anyone ever heard) and creating an entire D&D 5e setting, campaign, sourcebook, and modified ruleset (that of course never actually got used but so what). I look back on that as the most creatively fertile period of my entire life.
What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?

Another time to discuss the difference between "not guilty" and "innocent"

I can’t get drunk any more so now I just make myself get very very tired and refuse to go to sleep instead. I have become seven years old again.

I’m losing my hearing and it’s honestly making my life more entertaining. I overheard “Randy Johnson, Police Carcass” from the other room while an episode of law and order was playing and I will now write a novel based around that character

Can’t get back to sleep at 8 in the morning? Walk down to the beach and go for a swim. It won’t help you sleep but at least you’ll be covered in ocean water

3 years with someone, and you JUST now find out they love absurdly pulpy orange juice as much as you do, when you kinda thought you were the only one. Here’s to you, @brettsometimes.bsky.social . You’re the beacon of my heart. Let’s chew our beverages together forever.

Please no one ask how my fan letter to Fannie Flagg went. My partner and I wrote it together and it was very kind and appreciative but we never heard back. I still choose to live in a world where she might someday respond

Once you notice how many extra vowels and letters Sting includes in the word “barley” in “Fields of Gold” you can never really unhear it.

“Bowharhleye…”

why, Sting. why

Just found out Colleen Camp (Yvette the Maid from “Clue”) was in an episode of “Tales From The Darkside” in 1985 with KAREEM ADBUL-JABBAR and I gotta say I’m feeling pretty good about that one.

EVERYBODY HANG ON:

I just - someone wrote the words “as edgy as a circle” in re: how they thought they were an “edgelord” when younger, but then realized they were soft. I get that.

My question is don’t all shapes have edges

Isn’t that how you define a shape

I don’t know if I’m right

Help
