Liquid Glass definitely makes select lists look weird (since you can see the words behind them).

Only thing I've really not liked about it so far!

I forgot to mention that there's a new precious angel in my life 🐈

Please meet Marigold. She likes snuggles, having a ridiculous tail, and barfing up things she should never eat.

Four days in Chicago July humidity goes a long way towards reminding me that I made the right choice to move to the Pacific Northwest 20 years ago. ☺️

Jazz can be so odd. You'll be listening to a great Lionel Hampton album, and then…they are playing "Jingle Bells" in the middle of side two, but it's titled "Swingle Jingle." 😂

Realized my desk this morning is both very me and very messy. ☺️

Yesterday was my last day with my beloved old lady cat, Joni. The photo here is from her last day. I wrote more about it with more pics at the IG link below. Go snuggle your little ones; they leave us too soon.

My old cat is having a hard time. It's hard to express the joy that results from little things like "got her a new water fountain and she's drinking more water immediately," but it's immense.

@nhold.bsky.social one of my favorite things about Hornby’s column coming back is that it reminds me of both your love for it and your own writing. Happy holidays, friend!
Text from a magazine: “I am very worried that I am about to fogey-ize myself. It was bound to happen eventually, I guess. I have been amazingly cool for a long time, as you of all people, dear Believer readers, can testify, but one of the two books I have recently read about art has pushed me over the edge into….”

Glad I picked the weekend that Indiana Jones hits game pass to finally pick Veilguard up again 🥴

Really enjoying dipping into Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

Autumn = best season; it's when I feel most alive. I love it so much. I wish we had three more weeks of October; it seems like it's passing so quickly. 🍁

I wish that when you rented movies digitally, you could choose, afterwards, to buy the movie (and take the rental fee off the top).

Anyway, here's a photo of me in high school theater

I love reading paper books just like I love vinyl and other physical media.

But I the last few years I've started looking up words more often because it's so easy with ebooks.

Me, today: WAIT. "Applets" aren't some sort of Apple thing? It's like "app-lets," like "tiny apps"?!?! 🤯
Applet definition: a very small application, especially a utility program performing one or a few simple functions
