The black rain frog was my inspiration

Welcome to the Library of Congress, Blue Album =w=

Formal motion to rename the technology

Painting update: ✅ Ceiling ✅ Walls ✅ Trim - maybe still needs a second coat or touchup. We'll see tomorrow. Okay so the last part is the hardest... Creative free-hand. Wish me luck.

You know what? The sample size paints all use the same base. So maybe she thought I was wildly messy with a tiny pot of sample paint. Oh yeah, in addition to a paint splotch right between the boobs I also had a scrap of blue painters tape on the front of my tee. 😹

The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state

Hello my new favorite name is Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen

Goaltender interference are you kidding me?

Going to the paint counter at Lowe's thinking I know exactly what I'm buying only to find out there are 6 different tiers of base paint to choose from and the girl behind the counter not realizing that I've already started painting when the color I just asked for is front and center on my tee shirt

Fully out of paint and no one at the paint counter to help me #LowesBlows

I've joked that smartphones are bad at being phones for a while now but we discovered a new shortcoming today. MB* called me--just a regular voice call with the default "phone" app--and after about 15 min his side went silent. I knew he was home. There hadn't been any warning or sounds of distress.

I don't know anything about music and I have bad taste, so I'm going to say "Party Rock Anthem" is the ultimate millennial song and take absolutely no follow-up questions.

Painting report - Day 1 1. No stir stick? Ceiling paint was half full so I used a plastic knife. A stir stick was located in time for the full can of wall paint. 2. Brought roller heads with a splatter guard but they didn't mate with the extension handle.

When I talk about wanting single-payer healthcare system (Medicare for All) someone always tries the gotcha about who will pay for it. Bro, a chunk of every paycheck is already going to a bloated health insurance company for a high deductible plan that barely covers anything. They can have that $$.

Damn this sabres game is painful

Went through my dad's house painting stuff to find rollers, brushes, trays, drop cloths etc to paint my sister's nursery. A cardinal visited the backyard after I had gathered the stuff together. The key to a hoarder's heart is to put their treasured items to good use!

One day MB* woke up with a testicle so swollen they removed it. Have fun with your orchiectomies! You'll get a cool scar on your pelvis.

Shout-out to the dude who beat up the man who threw a big rock at a monk seal. I may only yell at asshole teens who harass ducks but I have been yelling at teens who harass ducks since 2004. MB* was embarrassed that I was scolding kids on the National Mall last month but the ducks were nesting!

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

Holy enshitification Batman! For my sister's baby shower we're each supposed to bring a book instead of a card. And you know I'm gonna overthink this bc we grew up in the same house with the same books. What would be the ideal combination of unique and meaningful?

I love concerts and live music but have barely attended any shows in the past few years. Either bots bought all the tickets before I even knew they were on sale or the nosebleed seats are listed at $200+... Not to mention the barrage of useless fees at checkout.

Me after a long bike ride

The weather is getting warmer and more humid. My hair is getting long again. Basically, my ponytail is turning into a pokemon demon.

Nothing but respect for MY president.

You might be raised Catholic if... When someone wishes you, "May the Force be with you," you autonomously respond, "And also with you."

Is there a piece of media that is widely regarded as beautiful/profound/touching but your goofy ass can't take it seriously? "Angels" is Robbie Williams' biggest song. People play it at funerals. But me... When I hear it... I sing: 🎶🎵And through it all, she offers me potatoes 🎵🎶

Oh how could I forget to mention the hatch window to the wall with the pipes in the bathroom

I completed my pokopia Pokedex yesterday afternoon and it was anticlimactic. I had predicted/hoped there would be a tiny epilogue to the main ending. In other news, I started building my real-life house in the game. And MB* and I tested out the game share mode using Switch 1 to build along.

Tangentially... I discovered one of those uploaded to streaming fails. Not as good as the dude with the vomit hose on "Mad Men." Malcom in the Middle S3E21 Dewey is home sick and builds a Domino rally. At a camera swap I can see an adult man's hand & a ruler knocking over the last bits of the flag.

Happy "It's Gonna Be May" Day to all who celebrate. Today's fun fact is that they hired professional domino artists to create the *NSYNC logo in dominoes. Less than 3 seconds of the music video.

Is there anything more dystopian than a commercial for Amazon urgent care (?) or whatever health service they're trying to sell us that features a child with chicken pox or measles when no child in 2026 should be getting those illnesses because we have effective vaccines for both.

A glass jar citronella candle spent the winter outdoors and the jar didn't make it through in one piece. But the candle itself seems okay so now it lives in a little bucket from a previous citronella candle.

Oh yeah I finally got the iron plating recipe this week so the cruise ship is fully restored. With a few updates like a hot tub, arcade, working kitchen, giant shield fossil skulls as wall decor in the ballroom.... And nearly every guestroom has a pokemon living in it.

Brb crying bc my sister made our dad in Tomodachi Life

If you live in New England and maintain your own yard this is the prime time to pluck maple seedlings. Their roots are still a single straight taproot with no branches to grip the soil.

I fell down the stairs just looking at this.

Uh oh... rumor has it the dead mall near my former office may become a Costco. But BJ's is basically a [giant suburban sprawl stripmall] block away!

I've been playing a dumb phone puzzle game from San-X in Japan called Sumisumi for... A long time. When they do planned server maintenance it's always 9 PM ET.

Tldr gitchu a man who takes you to see "You, Me & Tuscany."

When I was your age we had 3 seasons of "Family Guy" and that was it. Donezo.

How's your pokemon town going I reached the maximum number of elevator platforms and utility poles/wireless power transmitters in Skyland and I am devastated. I need to make so many more elevators. 😭

Do not wubba me or I will wubba you.

Sanrio now going door to door trying to Big Challenges people

When I saw Sonic 2 (on a plane) very quickly I said, "oh no this movie is intended for children." I would say the same about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.... But it has enough unrelated elderly genx/millennial 8 and 16 bit references to make you not know who the audience is.

Good morning its 5 am on a Sunday and the smoke detector in our bedroom started chirping for fresh batteries.
