Sometimes when I take a day off of work I peek at Teams on my phone and say yes to a second glass of lunch wine.

Today in a Teams meeting, someone was wearing a "1999" necklace—because that's the year she was born. And now I think I know how centuries-old vampires must feel.

Nothing like trying on a cheesy Halloween costume to make you paranoid that you are strangely misshapen.

I don't normally do audiobooks, but I might have to bite the bullet so I can hear Michelle Williams doing Britney Spears doing Justin Timberlake doing a "blaccent" to look "cool" to Ginuwine. This could be the Grammy feather in Williams' EGOT cap, is what I'm saying.
A Clip Of Michelle Williams Narrating Britney Spears' Audiobook Is Going Viral For A Certain Justin ...
"I gagged when it was revealed who Justin Timberlake was throwing on a blaccent for."

I'd read that spritzing vinegar on pumpkins would deter squirrels and their associates from munching on them, but our neighborhood is apparently full of little blokes chuffing, "Oi, tastes like salt & vinegar crisps over 'ere!"

The first 24 hours after getting a new glasses prescription there’s just no getting around the feeling that you made all the wrong choices during the exam. (“Damn it, I knew I should’ve picked ‘A’!”)

"Devo envisioned American culture evolving in the wrong directions, or devolving: dumbing down, losing individuality, succumbing to corporate imperatives and treating people as machines while anesthetizing itself with consumption. Those trends, to put it mildly, have not reversed."
Devo’s Future Came True
Half a century after Devo began singing about cultural De-Evolution, the visionary new wave band would have preferred to be wrong.

June talked up the crumb cake she had every Sunday at Camp Nyoda so today we made a coffee cake. Nothing fussy, just the #JoyOfCooking recipe (with extra cinnamon and vanilla, natch).

I have to plan a day of *nothing* after every shot. This may partially explain my continued platinum status even after known exposures.
Feeling Terrible After Your Covid Shot? Then It’s Probably Working.
Fever, chills and fatigue may all be signs of vigorous antibody production, a new study finds.

The woman up-close measuring me for glasses thought I was 8 years younger than I am on a no-makeup day and nobody is going to be able to tell me shit for the foreseeable future.

My husband started a rewatch of “The West Wing” while I stated a rewatch of “True Blood” (will be skipping the vampire CSPAN parts, natch), which I can’t help but think reveals something about our core selves.

Slightly belated seasonal transition tonight: last lobster rolls of the year for dinner followed by the first viewing of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” of the year. (And the first pumpkin beer.) #ItsFallYall

If you’re not going to use a booking platform and insist that patients make appointments by phone, you’re going to have to actually answer the fucking phone.

How excited am I when I get a notification that there's a new scan of an issue of Sassy from the @listentosassy.bsky.social podcast? Very! April 1990's cover is a case of "problematic now; back then wow" but damn these are vivid time capsules of my Peak Teen years.

My 10-y-o is learning The Killers' "Somebody Told Me" in music class, a song that is approximately as old as "Yellow Submarine" was when I learned it in music class at her age. Just in case you're in the mood to feel old tonight.

Put this on a couple of weeks ago in honor of its 30th anniversary (Violent. And mathematically impossible, since I was 18 when this came out and I'm 36 in my head.) Just wall-to-wall excellence here. #Breeders #LastSplash

Watching “Matilda,” and I muse to my 10-y-o that most kids probaby fantasize about “what if” they were secretly a twin or royalty or whatever. She looked at me and said, “What if I’m a werewolf?”

Listening to the new National album and every song sounds like a Prestige Drama (or Unfunny Comedy) end scene/smash cut to credits needle drop. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I think. #IAmASadDad

Tonight I made turkey burgers and salt & vinegar zucchini chips. It was delish, but I couldn’t help but mutter, “This is some ‘Nachos Flanders-style’ bullshit.”

I misread this as "scream time" and I nodded and sipped my coffee. In case you're wondering what my headspace is like in the morning.

I can't quit the Other Place until the last embers sizzle out, though. I'd be kicking myself forever if I missed a Fametracker-level final meltdown! (IYKYK)
