I've been ringing in the New Year by haunting liminal spaces.

Trying to create a bootable USB drive to troubleshoot my Linux laptop which unceremoniously shit the bed, but first I need to apply all the Windows updates on my parents' desktop while a bomb cyclone batters the Midwest. We're up to 28%! Livin' the dream!

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

I have achieved a Yuletide draft this evening! Later than I wanted but earlier than I needed. A summary and a title is a problem for Future Me.

A brief return of the Murderbot Humble Bundle! The charity is still World Central Kitchen.

the bricks are alive at this day to testify it; therefore deny it not.

🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Listening to the How to Menopause audiobook chapter on perimenopause symptoms like clumsiness and then nearly taking myself out with the vacuum cleaner.

Look, okay, maybe I wished the grocery store clerk to, "Have a good." Post-con letdown me has the intention but not the execution.

I made it to one of the Star Wars panels this morning and John Boyega is as charming, handsome, and funny as you'd imagine him to be. #DragonCon2025

I was on my way out of the library when I saw Automatic Noodle in the Lucky Day collection, so back to the checkout kiosk I went less than a minute after using it the first time.

Immensely cheered today by the arrival of sparkly things from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. Past Me absolutely made the correct decision to smash that buy button.

Hey guys... this is serious please go and opt out NOW!

There was a real group effort on the train to advise all the Deadheads on what stop to get out at and how to access their tickets in the Ticketmaster app for the concerts this weekend.

My habit of rewatching the previous episode of Murderbot before going into the new episode was perhaps too much emotional damage for one evening.

so something that's been helpful for me is the @xblock.aendra.dev labeler, bc it labels social (mostly twitter / bsky) screenshots, so I'd have to actively click it open when people post those. In case you are looking for something to minimize twitter dunking on your skyline.

Just did a task I've been procrastinating on and it took maybe 5 minutes, so now the trick is NOT using the rest of the time I allotted for this task being quietly furious.

Grant me the energy to go to the hardware store for the 2nd time this week as all the light bulbs are burning out. Let me live, you fickle fixtures.

I was out running errands today and overhead a dude who opened the door of a parked car and announced, "Lady Darkness, I want your snacks."

living through 2025 and having to wake up, go to work, handle responsibilities etc feels like this

I've been in rural Michigan for a week now visiting family, and as usual, my equanimity is being tested on many fronts.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Thanks to the tyranny of my library holds, I need to finish four books this week. One down and three to go.

I definitely didn't have to do the "big truck or earthquake?" calculus with that one.

Something is softly screaming in my refrigerator, so either the kombucha lid isn't tight enough or my fridge is haunted.

Today I've discovered an animal called "Skeleton panda sea squirt" exists. A sessile, filter feeding tunicat.

Pleased to report that a tofu scramble doesn't take much prep and is easy to make. I'll be demolishing plant-based breakfast burritos for days.
