Friend brought a cat sized cowboy hat to movie night.

Still looking for a table mate if anyone wants to table at Awesome Con in March!

The SECOND coffee shop walking distance from my apartment has closed without any notice, just a sign on the door. 🙃 I just need a space to work on Sundays. Why do they keep taking spaces away? 😔

Have been feeling run down since all the snow so on my lunch break, I ran over to the Great Clips by work and got a shampoo, trim, and blow dry and I feel AMAZING. I have a new life hack, clearly.

Did anyone want to table at Awesome Con and miss out? I have an Artist Alley table that is much too big for me and I’d be happy to split it. DM me if you’re interested! 💕

10 year old girl scout just went up to everyone in this coffee shop, trying to sell off the last of boxes of cookies. Well played, kid. In unrelated news, I now have a box of thin mints.

The thing about publishing is you put a book out into the world and every once in awhile you get an email out of nowhere like ‘we’re sending you some royalties! Happy Friday!’ Thanks, book from 8 years ago! That’ll cover my parking this month lol

It took me so long to get to work today, I convinced my boss to let me work from home the rest of the week. Which was wise cause it’s taken me over an hour and a half to get home. (It’s a 20 minute drive)

Made it out for the first time in a week for ~the theatre~

Currently in the 'do everything else on your to do list to avoid the one task you should actually doing' part of my day and I'm actually getting a lot done so ... good for me?

I took a couple friends after school to the cheap theater next to our high school to see A Mighty Wind, my first Christopher Guest movie I saw in theaters. I laughed through the whole thing, even if I cried a bit at the end. I cry a bit every time. And I’m crying today 💕

Ennui

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Snow party on my back patio

i've been out in minneapolis all day, talking to locals and trying to wrap my head around the murder of alex pretti. it's 11.23pm, and this is what i've arrived at. please RT, it's free to read: www.webworm.co/alexpretti/

On the bus home. Shockingly, no one out the hour before snowstorm??? so have bus to myself, like a giant clunky limo

One last hot meal and a couple of movies before the snowstorm hits! Off to see Return to Silent Hill and Send Help after late lunch 💕

Giant snowstorm hitting tomorrow night, forecast says we might be snowed in for literal DAYS so I am escaping and taking myself to a double feature tomorrow so I have some outside time before I'm trapped in the apartment lol

Everyone around here is talking like we’re going to be snowed in for days and I’m prepared but the anticipation is getting to me. Let’s just get this snowpocalypse started already.

Another night, another round of putting things on the cats

I would like to get up and take a shower but this is my lap right now

Sibling bonding

Just learned that the trendy korean word (which has made it into Japanese) for staycation is "hocance" (ho from english hotel, cance from french vacance.) The translator on this project was like "This hasn't made it to English yet" and I was like "YEAH, I WONDER WHY?"

Triple feature day begins! Now seated for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

On the bus and sat behind a woman who I just saw hang up a call from ‘Cut Him Off Forever’ 😬

Into the Woods via D&D with a friend at Workhouse Arts Center tonight 💕

Be careful what you wish for. I was thinking how much I didn't want to go to work this morning and now I'm waiting an hour fifteen for triple A cause my battery's dead lol

I've been having horror movie nights with my pal who wants to get into them. I have a list of ideas of movies to show him and I just went through to add descriptions so he can browse it to pick from. Adding descriptions was too much fun.

Earlier today I helped a priest and he said ‘may God reward you!’ and I laughed all ‘how does one respond to that?’ Just now, I missed getting t-boned by car by MILLIMETERS on my drive home. The adrenaline is hitting hard but, um, thanks for the reward, God?

Jamie has been put in a tiny Henley and he is NOT pleased

I have spent most of the day making funeral programs for a friend of my boss’s father which is very much not my job but it is nice being helpful to folks who need it (and don’t understand computers.)

It’s finally happening, I’m finally seeing The Room.

New tab on my Books I've Read spreadsheet. How have I been keeping this for TWELVE YEARS now?!

First show of 2026! 💕

Got my secret Santa gift in the mail today and look at this PAJAMA SET with MY CATS ON IT my friend Jo got me 😂😂

Happy 2026! Here are the New Years Day vibes in my house 💕

Surprise Christmas tears this morning! We weren’t doing presents but my parents surprised me by getting a diamond my grandfather got my grandmother set in a necklace for me. I am overwhelmed 💕

Merry Christmas, Friends!! 💕💕

Plane Museum Saturday. My father has regressed to a ten year old boy.

My parents have made it to town! They've been here two hours and my mother has already fixed two things in my apartment. 😂

I was doing my cats’ litter boxes tonight and I always have a rough time cause my gag reflex is nonexistent. On a whim, I put a chip clip on my nose before I started and …. it worked?!?? Why have I never tried this before?!??

Action shot of me restraining Rosie from trying to steal my friend’s sandwich

My friend ordering DoorDash: Do you want anything? Me: No, thank you! Friend: They have soft pretzels. Me: ………. Yes, okay, I would like a soft pretzel.

Back from the work Christmas party and they’ve set up the extra spiced cider next to my office so I am on mug one of ????? for the afternoon.

I could get out of bed but it’s 28 degrees outside and they’re so cozy

Sky is really pretty right now
