Recently edited a fan wiki with the CORRECT words to a thirty-five year old novelty song (which I know to be correct because the song was stuck in my head for five days).
Each time someone else edits it back the wrong way, I get notified — and the song gets back into my head again. 😓😓😓

I’m so annoyed!
Through my research I’ve discovered a trove of photographs from 1890, and although I didn’t find the specific building I’m looking for… I DID find several taken from the front stoop (immediately behind the photo)! 😓😓😓

Although I haven’t seen my mother in years, I’ve discovered that she’s been using A.I. tools to paste me into family photos — using photographs from years ago.
What an interesting new world we’re living in!

The news about Rob Reiner has me pretty shaken.
I grew up with him on television. I still watch him almost every night. He felt like he was part of my family — no matter where I was living in the world, I knew his face would welcome me on my TV and provide comfort to a lonely traveler. 😢

I drew this twenty years ago (*although it wasn’t published until late 2006). It’s obviously quite crude and rudimentary, but it’s one of my all-time favorite comics pages I’ve drawn!

In 1996, my campus radio station played this album on repeat for three days. It’s still available on CD (they’re down to four copies!), and it’s a pretty pleasant listen if you’re into the old traditional tunes!

Having survived about a thousand moves, and hanging on walls within five different time zones, this is probably one of my favorite original pieces that I own!
I have this by Vermont artist James Kochalka, a big John Pound oil painting, and a sketch each by David Gross and Mark Pingatore!

On account of his 100th birthday, the Dick Van Dyke Show is playing instead of my Full House episodes.
Oh well.

Top three things my mom taught me:
1. Light a cigarette as soon as you sit in the car;
2. When you’re done unloading your groceries onto the belt, push the cart off to the side;
3. When queried about your morally-dubious actions, say “Sher das nudding.”
I love you, Mom! 💕

Anyone who isn’t a close friend of mine is really missing out on a crazy series of pointless anecdotes transpiring in real time! 😅
My partner is some kind of chaos goddess or something. But she gets along great with the cat, so it’s a wash in that regard.

Someone clipped away this article from 1894 before it could be scanned to microfishe! 😤

Years ago, I was involved with a production where I had to sing, in a nondescript accent:
Everybody love bacon
Everybody love souffléd egg
Everybody love turkey leg
Everybody love food
before being interrupted by another character.
None is worse than a fake song stuck in your head for eternity.

As a kid, I turned down an opportunity to see Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap,” although I was a huge fan, because it was billed as the “longest-running play” in history.
“Nooo thanks,” I said, “I don’t wanna be stuck in a theatre for six hours!

John O’Hurley!! Actually a very generous man. He’s taken his income and successfully invested it, so that he could donate a lot of his own cash to animal welfare funds. 💕
I know someone who once worked as his personal assistant, and she still loves the guy!
