Love this:

White Bean and Celery Ragout. So tasty and rich. Could be a side dish, veggie main, or you could add shrimp or chicken.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why. Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

Today was a bad brain day. Here's hoping tomorrow is a fresh start.

This is bad news. It was a great show. deadline.com/2025/12/boot...

Curried pineapple egg fried rice for dinner. And I mean a MASSIVE amount. 'Cause it's SOOO GOOD.

Such good news: Heated Rivalry has been renewed for Season 2. HBO Max will continue to license the series from Crave for its second season.

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.

Last day of work for the rest of the year tomorrow. Bedtime tonight.

Finally finished my Teen Wolf rewatch. Took me a while to get through all six seasons (I took breaks between each season, and only ever watched one or two episodes at a time... a slow binge). The good parts are so very good. The bad parts are kinda awful. The movie sucked, couldn't even finish it.

👇 Why introverts HATE phone calls

I watched the new Naked Gun movie... It's not as laugh out loud funny as the first Naked Gun Movie, but it's pretty consistently mildly amusing with a few chuckle out loud moments.

Has anyone else become increasingly more introverted the older they've gotten?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Sure enough, I go to bed late, and wake up early at 4:30 am to pee and cannot get back to sleep and I've been wide awake for HOURS, so I get to face my first day back to work in a week on about 3 hours of sleep. Ugh.

Today was a very odd day (I didn't have to work today) and because I've been off work for a week, I'm up to late. Tomorrow's 9am meeting is going to be rough. Should have been productive on my "extra" day off... but I wasn't.

Krissy called me down to the kitchen to have me eat a last bit of Thanksgiving leftovers so she could put its container into the dishwasher, and I just got a stern look from the dog warning me not to overstep into her territory ever again

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

I am way too full right now. But I want to eat more. I'm thankful I'm able to enjoy this bounty of high-carb, high-calorie food this day. For those that aren't as lucky as me, I made a donation to the local food bank and the local meals on wheels program. It's the least I can do.

I like pie.

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

I may have watched Heartstopper again.

Post a movie where you're from "Teachers" (1984) I actually had some high school classmates who were extras in this (visible for all of a couple of seconds, but still)

Slept most of the day.

Comparing the Austin Skyline 10 years apart (2014 at the top, 2024 at the bottom):

I really miss saxophone solos in songs. I swear they made 80s music great.

You can start with a light hilarious comedy in "Blue Heaven" by Joe Keenan. One of the funniest laugh-out-loud books I've ever read. A gay man and his female best friend decide to get married to scam their wealthy relatives for wedding gifts. A screwball comedy ensues.

Woke up too damn early again. I'm a night person, have been my entire life, back to childhood. Yet lately, and ESPECIALLY since the time change, I've been waking up at 4, 5, or 6am and just not been able to go back to sleep, meaning I'm only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night. Getting old sucks.

“So, do you have any plans this weekend?” I'm just going to hang out at home. “Ah, so no plans yet.” What? I just told you my plans.

Sharing a photo a friend took of the aurora last night. Location: Menominee, MI (upper peninsula) . I've never seen the northern lights before, and it's always been a bucket list item, but I live in central TX so oh well. 😂😭 Just gorgeous!

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Low in the 30s this morning outside, but I refuse to turn on the heat because it's going to be in the 80s tomorrow afternoon. #IamPerfectlyRational

Woke up at 5am again this morning, wide awake, for no good reason. Ugh. Another day I have to manage to get by on less than 5 hours of sleep...
