i followed 3 people before and now they're here. it's not rocket science
always a fun exercise to change a period to a semi-colon and then on the next pass-through change it to a comma.

always haunted by Anne's House of Dreams and how she had a flu that killed her baby Joyce and people wonder why I wear a mask in this, the most horrible flu season

T's review of Wake Up Dead Man is that Mormons would really like it

i was gonna say something salty about how the Church for some reason changed the lyrics to What Child is This from "ox and ass" to "ox and lamb are feeding" because I heard the Choir do it and then also our youth sang it that way last week

but checked the source and it still has donkey supremacy

today's hot take about non-specific words to designate amount:
a couple: 2-3
a few: 3-5
several: 4-8
many: 6+

(Many people disagree with "a couple" ever being more than 2, but I'm not talking about a romantic pair*, I'm talking about an unspecific amount. "A couple minutes" doesn't mean 2 exactly.)

I wonder if websites assume that someone trying to log in and giving up at the MFA step is a bad actor or if most of the users are just like "forget it I'll use the device that remembers me" because I have now done that twice tonight

my MIL is so funny. I gave her a crumb (told her I'm a little tired) and she was like "I googled and found this. Hope it helps." and just sent me a screenshot of the AI overview that's like "Fatigue is common in first trimester"

My husband loves it when I write the kissing scene 😊
(and I'm glad too because that means I'm ALMOST DONE (my stories end when they kiss because of who i am as a person))

Yesterday I figured out how to make a (basic, no-frills) data architecture diagram just with what exists in GSuite. I thought about adding pictures or whatever but showed it to my boss in basic mode first.

Last night he put it through AI and it's very visually appealing now.

once again coming home and realizing that the person i was talking to probably didn't mean to imply that I'm pregnant but I only think of one thing so I assumed it and now someone else knows

oh well!!!

Yes, I did successfully have Jin in my top artists. He was #5. Good for him.

(I'm doing some spotify posting today because it might be my last)
unfortunately the propaganda my book club friend sent me that night (I still have it saved on google photos) had Jin not with black hair and I lost interest immediately

But I have stuck by him nonetheless. He WILL be in my top 5 artists this year.

i guess i didn't make the post i intended to, like 6 months ago, that I knew who my top artist would be

and anyway I was right but I think I decided to not make the official guess because I thought I would be wrong.

i used to work at arctic circle back when a small shake was $2.35. Now they're over $5 and I simply can't handle that. I can get double that amount of ice cream from a boutique ice cream place, for double the price -- but actual good ice cream.

but AC is across the street.

just found out my spouse was vegetarian in the MTC and during his mission (it's apparently very easy to be vegetarian in Taiwan) and that he'd go back to it whenever

Somehow forgot to play all my games yesterday. Wordle only had a 7-day streak so whatever but I was carefully maintaining a 50-day streak on Stackdown so that’s a little sad.

my headphones just played a prank on me. I leaned against the couch, which pressed some random configuration of buttons, and it was all like "ok, calling [person i don't think i've ever called in my life]" and I couldn't figure out how to hang up in time so he called me back
