Got pranked by my neighbor's cat. I see this cat in the window of Pizza Luna frequently, and while coming home from my morning coffee walk he ran outside to get cuddles. He acted like he was accidentally left outside, meowing, and refused to walk through the gate. After 30 mins he just walks in.

Taskmaster became a gateway drug. I've now downloaded multiple full series of QI and Would I Lie To You. I knew they all existed for years, but I get it now.

Realized I'm only truly happy when I live in a walkable city area. My morning stroll to get coffee and a few small items to cook for the day triggers a small "task completed" endorphin rush. Suburb living always depressed me; driving everywhere is just the worst thing ever.

Sometimes I glance at YouTube and there's a video about Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc., that's like "breaking news! a thing happened!"

And then instead of watching a 30 minute video I go and look for text-based sites that can tell me in three sentences what the thing that happened was.

When i was a pre-teen, there were a bunch of landline based phone-in games that were advertised in our local paper. They were choose-your-own-adventure games where you chose an option after each part of the story. Anyone remember this? I believe it was called "Phone-A-Tale". Wizard Quest was one.

One of my favorite things when i DJ is when i tell someone i don't have internet and i can't play their song they requested. They usually stare, mouth agape, trying to figure out a solution in their drunken minds. No, I can't play Otis Redding at da club right now because you're about to leave.

I just love going over monthly finances and feeling like things are ok and then getting renewal email reminders for all the subscriptions i signed up for last Black Friday.

Left for work and apparently put on mismatched shoes. Yep, I'm tired.

Bonded with an old school goth friend of mine at the IAMX show last night...she modified her car to say "Takuro Spirit" as the model name, which is a Dark Tower deep cut. Needless to say I'm totally enamored now. It takes specific nerdy things to make my brain go all fuzzy.

Phrases like skibidi, 67, fanum tax, etc aren’t inherently more bad, dumb, or meaningless than the memes you grew up with; you’re just not 14 any more

Our entire 30 story building has no air conditioning today because of a pipe break. And of course we have to have the first warm weekend in a while.

Playing this Friday at Orleania Art Studios for their fall opening...I'll be in the Neon Museum area. Going to be a lot of fun, and we will probably go late in our little section :)

BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products.

That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo.
