My new watch band arrived!

I ordered the wrong one!

Yay.

Every once in a while I get the urge to go to the movie theater.

Fortunately, they don’t seem to make movies I’m interested in anymore. Every time I look at the listings my reaction is “meh”.

Does anyone local-ish have use for nine Dexcom G6 sensors? No transmitter, JUST the sensors. I’m on the G7 so they’re useless to me.

Can deliver in the Seattle-ish area this Friday or you can pick up in Mt Vernon.

TFW you're having a nice lie-in and the robovac comes in, turns on the light, and starts cleaning the bathroom.

$500, 49-unique-item grocery order, two days before thanksgiving… and only one item out of stock!?! Amazing.

I'm listening to Bjork, which always reminds me of how I bought Post on CD the same day Netscape 2.0 was released. So I was listening to it while I was playing with the new features, including these "Java applet" things. At some point I noticed that the song being played had a weird, repetitive […]

Going to war as "a favor to our oil companies" used to be something Republicans vigorously denied.
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

It is 45F outside, why am I craving ice-cream-based beverage analogues?

Can’t say I enjoy having jets fly over loud enough to set off the vibration sensor on the back door.

Because of the way the room (and the whole floor) is shaped, my office has a comfort problem. It’s on the south end and has giant windows, and is as far, ductfully speaking, from the furnace as it’s possible to get in this house. In the morning, it’s too cold. In the afternoon, it’s often too […]

Wow, just went on a whole trip, from "I'm exhausted and can't focus on my book" to "611 days" in the space of twenty seconds, because I was craving white chocolate macadamia cookies.

My brain may not work /right/, but it sure works /fast/.

There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

I've spent virtually the entire day in bed, and still don't feel great, but I need to go out and run some errands. Trying to decide if I've got enough energy for that to include going into the store for soup and maybe gatorade. I only crave gatorade when I'm feeling crummy.

Pity instacart won't […]

14:45 and I've downed a fistful of Benadryl and crawled into bed to attempt a nap.

Not even 4pm; ready to go to bed. Stupid brain.

On the one hand, I am hungry. On the other hand, I do not trust my stomach yet.

Really want to go to Firehouse for a meatball sub, but…
