Just a reminder to adopt your pets from reputable shelters.

Made a big pot of Sarah's famous* vegetable tortellini soup that is so healthy and nourishing 😋

* No one has ever eaten it except me because I live alone and don't like to entertain
A bowl of soup with visible tortellini, green beans, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots. The broth is tomato-y with tiny fat droplets on top because I made it with homemade chicken stock. There is a blue handled spoon in the bowl.

Was it ever! The blue is Vanguard's total international fund. The yellow is the total domestic (US) fund. Roughly 12% difference in a little over 10 months.
A chart showing year to date growth of two mutual funds. One is up about 14% (yellow line). The other looks to be up more like 26% (blue line).

You know they're monsters, and I know they're monsters, but... do they want every single person on earth to think they are monsters? Apparently yes??

My plush jaguar wanted a Zohran meme. 🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🐾
One of the Zohran meme things that says: JAGUAR for devouring your enemies My plush black jaguar sitting on my bed next to a metal sign that says BEWARE OF JAGUAR. The bed is unmade and he is crossing his front paws and looking straight into the camera.

Such a fun show tonight! Cyro Baptista and a huge band and some special guests (please don't make me type all ~15 of them). Brazilian percussion, oud, sintir, tap dance, accordion, bass, guitar, banjo, sousaphone, flute, piano. What DIDN'T they play? Going again tomorrow!
A picture of a big stage with a huge assortment of instruments. There are about fifteen people on stage and they dressed in an assortment of ways from jeans and a button down to a bright blue traditional African outfit to a guy with a silly faux fur hat.

Look how big it is though! How do I even breathe with that thing in there all the time!! 😳
An MRI of my whole head as seen from my left side showing a lot of detail of the brain, spine, tongue, lips, nose, etc. I look great, honestly, except my tongue is filling up my whole mouth and it weirds me out.

My precinct. The proud 3% of Republicans hanging on. Not quite sure about the demographics of the Cuomo voters here in Harlem. Old school Dems who thought he was a good governor and don't pay much attention to politics? I dunno...
A list of candidates and vote totals for my precinct. Zohran got 74%, Cuomo got 22%, and Sliwa got 3%.

Time to go to my doctor's appointment on the bus, and I have to leave a full hour to get there because they refuse to put a fucking bus lane in during the day even though there is a perpetual eternal traffic jam by the hospital. 🙃
A screen shot of Google Maps showing that 5th Avenue is dark red by Mount Sinai Hospital, meaning the worst kind of traffic backup at 1:30pm.

I had a bunch of errands to do yesterday (voting and the glasses store, plus decided to go do some other stuff as long as I was in midtown) so I saw all sorts of creatively costumed people. And I accidentally found the Halloween parade route on the way somewhere (thankfully hours before it started).
The stoop of a brick building that's been decorated with fall leaves and twisty branches and way too many ravens (probably a dozen or more).

Please exercise additional care on your commute tonight. The subway is unfortunately haunted. 👻
An electronic sign in the NYC subway system. The MTA has turned the orange B and D line symbols into little pumpkins and there are cute little ghosts floating around in the background behind the train arrival information.

Just got back from dropping my Sliwa vote in hopes of pushing Cuomo to third place! (I'm kidding. I'm KIDDING!)

If you're looking for some spooky music tomorrow night, my friend is on the air tomorrow night with some infamously weird spooks! (He's a musician on David Byrne's new album and has a really deep repertoire.) Halloween night wzbc.org at 7pm Eastern.
A post from Brian Carpenter that says: Years ago during the pandemic I aired a show the night before Halloween which started off “fun” for trick-or-treaters and very slowly over the course of 3 hours descended into a swamp of true dread and terror. The show was compiled from many wild recommendations I got from friends and music heads. In 25 years off and on as a radio DJ, it is the only time I can remember when I received a call like this from a listener who was very upset with me. He was driving and may have pulled over, very distressed, and told me I “shouldn’t be playing this kind of music” over the air. The call came in shortly after the sudden volume of Alan Vega’s scream in the song “Frankie Teardrop”. He told me “you obviously don’t know what you’re doing, you should turn down the faders!” I asked him why he didn’t just change the station. I might have suggested he switch over to WERS 88.9. By the time I got the call, I hadn’t even got around to playing Throbbing Gristle. I recently did some digging and found this show. I will be re-airing it Friday night on Halloween 7-10 PM EST on WZBC. If you’re listening alone, you should probably skip the last hour. It’s too much, even for me…but there are some real gems too.

Another show in the Yarn/Wire series tonight at the Miller, this time with Tyshawn Sorey (who has won like every award ever including a MacArthur and a Pulitzer). The whole night was good, but Tyshawn's piece was AWESOME. 🤯

They do such a great job with them. I'm a very sticker-motivated voter.

This was what we got last year.
A sticker that says "HALLOWEEN VOTER 2024" with a cartoon of a pigeon holding one of those Halloween pumpkin candy buckets in its beak, and wearing a witch's hat. There are bats flying behind it. There are some "VOTE NYC" logos and little ghosts around the edge and it is done in gray, orange and black.

Big oof! And then the credit card company rubs your nose in it like a dog. "See what you did? Look at it!"

Cybertruck spotted in Harlem. Wondering if the perfectly framed graffiti appeared after they parked it or before... 😂
A horribly ugly Cybertruck parked on a somewhat picturesque corner in front of a brick building and large twisty tree. There is a bright red post just behind it on which someone has painted very clear graffiti that says "FUCK TRUMP". The vehicle has an Illinois license plate.
