I have long said that the Croonchy Stars cereal box was the best cereal box of all time. Well today one sold at auction for $3850. (It’s not even my favorite version of the box. No, I didn’t win the auction.)

On Friday at Comic Con, a guy sitting next to me sneezed so hard that his attempt to cover it resulted in the sneeze shooting out sideways. A week later, I am sneezing so hard I need to grab furniture to brace myself.

Next election, if there is one, you will have to speak your vote aloud to a firing squad.

I have to shout out the place I had dinner tonight. It’s called Noona’s and it’s an ice cream shop in the East Village that specializes in Asian flavors. I had the strawberry yuzu lemon poppy cake flavor and the sesame flavor, with crunchies and strawberry jam, and it was delicious.

Dragon Tan Tan at Ippudo. I popped in for a quick dinner before seeing Passion Pit around the corner. I was afraid when I started reading the less than rave reviews that I made the wrong choice. But this was delicious. I loved the Sichuan peppercorn.

Phil was making a smoothie and he thought it needed something. I joked that he should throw in a jelly ring. And he did, and it was amazing. Almond butter, some mixed fruit smoothie base, half a banana, a little almond extract, and a jelly ring. Delicious!

Today my more than 5-year weekly Peloton streak came to an end. I think it was time. It’s been over effectively for weeks anyway and it felt like I was living a lie! But I can’t be done. Gotta get back on the horse (bike, mat, road). Always get back on.

The nice people at Bonelle Bakery on Ascan just let me buy 6 hamentaschen despite being $2 short. Owing them $2 gives me a good reason to go back and buy more on Friday. Which I was going to do anyway, but now I have to, to be a good person. 😇😋

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

I had my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. And despite all the warnings and all the directions, I cannot keep from eating delicious forbidden foods (spicy food, rice, yesterday I sipped a bit of beer through a straw). So I’m pretty sure I have dry socket now. Ow.

I go to the Ocean Wreck Divers flea market almost every year. I have lots of dive gear I’d like to get rid of, even a dry suit. But this year I decided not to go. Mostly out of laziness.
So they cancelled it. Bwahaha.

What a Crab Sees Before It Gets Eaten by a Cuttlefish
Cuttlefish use visual tricks to avoid being eaten. New research shows how they deploy similar camouflage to bamboozle their prey.

I made Phil a delicious black bean-based chocolate layer cake for V-day and there was extra chocolate buttercream so I just ate that on toast for breakfast with strawberry jam. Follow me for more healthy meal ideas. 😆

I have things I really need to do, socially necessary things. It’s the perfect time to do them and they are not in fact even that hard.
So I’m going to start knitting a jackalope now.
