Gimme one good reason to trust the Gorton's fisherman.

Just out here holding aloft my magic sword every day, waiting for my fabulous secret powers. 😔
This weekend was 10 minutes long. Here's hoping I have a night of peacefully satisfying dreams ahead of me.

(Would not object to the one where I just eat pastries for hours in a hot tub.)

Pumpkin cookies on the way.

Me: Ooh, a gorgeous fall day. Maybe I'll take a long walk around the whole neighborhood!

Me 5 seconds later: [Taking a break midway up the stairs to stop the spins and breathlessness.]

Got my steam humidifier going, and I'm curled up on the couch under an electric blanket with the tv remote in my hand.

Some self care standards never go out of style.

Ok. I left the house long enough to reinvigorate my misanthropy. Now I can enjoy the slink back into slothful hermit.

Crap. Still can't quite be sure I have the wherewithal to leave the house. Dammit dammit dammit!!

After a rotten work week, what I most want is a change of scenery.

And what I most need is rest.

And never the twain shall meet.

Star Trek and snoring time, people. Going with "Hide and Q", a fun little Season 1 escapade.

Still irks me that they laid cool groundwork for a Riker/Q thing early on in the series, and never paid it off.

Oh wow, this is kinda cool. I just found the Zoneify app on Roku, and I selected a noir double feature.

And it's opening with a Max Fleischer "Superman" cartoon!!!

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Trying, after a terrible work meeting earlier today, to remember the Buddhist warning about the second arrow.

The pain of being unfairly criticized was real. My endless revisiting and amplification of that pain, though, is a choice.

Just got so elaborately gaslit in a meeting with my boss that I feel like puking.

I'm near tears.

Finally identified last night's Guess That Theme Show Snippet of synth arpeggios. It was CHiPs!

What have I won? An earworm of the opening horns of CHiPs!

Star Trek and snoring time, after a decently productive day. (Made soup & quiche, did some laundry, re-warped the loom.)

Going with Who Watches the Watchers, and doing my best to appease The Picard.

The intermission for the 1968 film Cleopatra includes stills from part 1 of the production.

This is hysterical to me. Like we're at Caesar and Cleopatra's, watching a slideshow of their trip to Rome before dinner is served.

Your last-saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I know every great novel and film is about how buying things won't make you happy. But I still can't shake the wish that the right set of retro coffee mugs will fix me.

What's your favorite song about the rain?

(It's the snap-claps.)

Feed a cold
Starve a fever
Caffeinate a migraine

People try to pinpoint when we got on this timeline. Hillary losing, Prince/Bowie dying.

I say it was high efficiency washing machines. Once we let go of reason, the rest was inevitable.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

If you see this, post a Star Trek.

I am eating bar-prepped fries.

It has been 6 years.

Six YEARS.

I will likely regret this. More disregulation than pain.

But right now it is fucking glorious.

I was thinking of leaving this mostly empty NJ bar. But I am hungry, and I thought fuck it... I'll break my allergen rules and just eat.

It has been 45 minutes. I am 1 of 7 people in this place. Nothing has been put on a plate in front of me.

This is why I think of moving back to Astoria.
