Well, that was art.
It was rich and gorgeous and also the straightest fucking version of Frankenstein I’ve ever seen

An old coworker visited the store for the first time in years yesterday

"Lex! I was hoping for a familiar face! Do you remember me?"

And in my head I was like "of course, Eye of the Tiddy!"
My mouth got as far as "of course," before I froze -- wait, what WAS his name? Oh no

Showed up to a friend’s hobbit party as Smaug, surprising absolutely nobody

Walking back to the cabin with the player of a character my zombie just killed at Hawkins LARP:

ME: “I wonder how long a skeleton takes to burn to ash”
THEM: “About 8 hours”

…of course they just Knew That. Gosh I love horror LARPers so much

How many baristas does it take to operate a conventional home coffee machine?

Hugely disappointing that despite traveling by boat to a mist-shrouded island covered in bats and then immediately entombing myself amongst the pale rocks, I was NOT offered the Kiss Of Night and made immortal

So it turns out I’m the chosen one.

You may doubt this, but then how can you explain my encounter yesterday?

For a while I kept running into a problem where I’d become overwhelmed with nostalgia for summer camp. And. What? I’d never BEEN to summer camp. Nostalgia is specifically a feeling you need to earn through experience, and I’d done nothing to earn this!

The thing about absorbing Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 Dracula movie so deeply into my psyche at such a young age is my brain has adopted certain scenes as emotion gifs that will play at the slightest provocation.

It happened again this morning.

Happy giant gay skeleton season!

It’s Dracula season at last, and today’s novel segment has me frothing at the mouth for a movie that dares show Dracula applying his fake beard to go pick up Jonathan, and then tenderly tucking him in with a blankie in the back of the coach

Today in “decisions that would’ve gotten me killed in a horror movie and probably weren’t a great idea in real life, but all that happened was I got possessed by a giraffe”

Insurance-covered Occupational Therapist: Listens to the symptoms I typed into google, tells me to do what google told me to do

PT Sam’s mom sent me to: Examines my entire dang skeleton, diagnoses me “misaligned sack of bones,” says we gotta get weird with it

Friendship is when you go over to someone’s house and stab them,* and then they clip your toenails.**

And I guess it’s also a lot of other things? But sometimes it’s that.

* they’re squeamish about injections
** golfer’s elbow makes some very stupid things very difficult

Currently dealing with some golfer’s elbow and OH BOY is it ever humbling to face the feeble grip strength of my non-dominant hand. Almost lost a battle of fortitude to a garlic clove. Eating the crushed garlic DOES feel more satisfying after the struggle to vanquish it though.

It’s. It’s a tofu press. Why is the package so intent on reassuring me that it won’t STING? What happened here? Was there a Hornets Incident at the packaging facility? I. What.

I’m used to people commenting on my bare feet when I go walking, but the lady who stopped me yesterday was wearing a sun dress and INSULATED FUR BOOTS, so when she went “Feet!” I got to be like “opposite feet!” and feel vindicated as Normal From The Other Side
