BOTD Robert Altman! Here's an interview with the splendid director aired by Twin Cities Public Television in 1993. (Was rather hard to locate as it's catalogued by the date instead of his name!) www.pbs.org/video/februa... #LocalAngle

Three of the Brontë family died within eight months from bronchitis.

Friend of a friend needs to rehome two cats. I can put you in touch if you're interested; please dm. (Will leave DMs open for a week or so.)

Made it 3/4 thru The Goldfinch. Reread the beginning. Not sure I could handle the rest of the book. It's a little David Copperfield-ish in the amount of misery the protagonist endures. I decided to check the rest of the plot via Wikipedia. Will now carry on reading.

So, now, don’t you tell me to HOWL We’re a trio of rappin OWLS Givin’ you smiles instead of SCOWLS Dryin ourselves with tiny TOWELS

My biorhythms are poorly today.

my pappy sent me a little haiku he wrote for a contest, about my auntie that died of cancer. he’s never wrote poetry before but i think this is a pretty great haiku: potato salad. frybread. now she’s in heaven— no one knows the recipe.

Public Service Announcement : Grapes are extremely toxic to dogs. My Golden ate three green grapes out of the garbage a couple of years ago and we had to rush her to the Vet immediately.

FWIW the recalled tots are in bulk bags so you don't have to worry about small bags you might have at home. (If you're buying multiple 5 lb bags at once or eating them at restaurants, well . . . )

Fancy, our foster, would be a great dog for someone who didn’t want a dog but caved to pressure from family. Housetrained, respectful, small, plays with toys but isn’t obsessed, barks very little. And enjoys climbing up to fall asleep in your lap or next to you. Perfect “I don’t want a dog” dog.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this: The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation. More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

Found the picture I’ve been looking for. This is everything

curling but one of the stones is cake

At least not off a toilet.

I was afraid I'd swallow my tongue while I slept and choke to death. Hmm. Might explain some sleep problems I've had.

Is this the laziest and most slapdash drawing/graphic I have done to promote my book yet? PERHAPS. Nevertheless, I hope you will consider The Shabti if you're looking for a romance with a healthy dose of the heebie-jeebies this Valentine's Day!

30-50 feral hogs, as the prophecy foretold...

BritBox is running the BBC's 1978 series of Wuthering Heights and, you guys, this is a freaky freaky story. www.imdb.com/title/tt0077...

miss him sm

I resisted watching Riot Women (on BritBox) but danged if the show hasn't brought me to tears multiple times. It's when the music cuts through the screen to express what they're feeling. And, for better or worse, I am the girl who wants the most cake. www.imdb.com/title/tt3231...

South Haven, land of cold lacy lily pads.

The winner.

Fun to see @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social getting love from the hometown paper. Cheers to the Strib!

The commercials that I saw, well, felt like they were trying too hard and for blah results.

If anyone wants to know more about Puerto Rico and the other US territories/colonies, I will also recommend this book! (If I may...)

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

I once had the big idea that movie theaters would be empty on Superbowl Sunday and I'd have the joints all to myself. Wrong. Every film buff in the Twin Cities was at the movies. The only showing where I had my pick of seats was the 10:30 am one.

Has Green Day been on yet?

This is a scene from a Marx Brothers movie.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Freida is getting ready for Olympic competition, and came in third in the floof trials. She hoping she'll peak at the right time next week.

Kind of fascinated by this face.
