Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark is stuck in my head so I’m reading its Wikipedia page (as one does). The music video was directed by Brian De Palma (Carrie, Phantom of the Paradise) and features Courtney Cox (Monica from Friends), whose dancing inspired The Carlton (Fresh Prince of Bel Air)

Coworker gave me a Buc-ee’s bottle opener keychain for Christmas and it got a little bit broken over the weekend which means I have noooo choice but to finally go to the place myself and get a new one.

Found four ticks on my feet this week which is four more than I’d like to encounter ever. The perils of the great outdoors.

the entire point of life is to be kind and weird btw

Swam in a creek and drank beers with my friends for like three hours today and it was amazing

Go to emo concerts in your thirties. Wear hearing protection. Wear shoes with no support. The bartender will give you free water. Chart the lead singer’s hairline on the Norwood scale. Don’t think about the passage of time. Wear skinny jeans. Ignore the people younger than the albums.

An emo band I loved as a teenager is playing near me tonight and I’m soooo tempted to go (because I’m still sad about my parents not letting me see them as a teen when my friend got to go) but I’m sooooo exhausted

My boss locked the keys in the work truck and called me to come pick him & another guy up but we have instead ended up all waiting around for the locksmith who was supposed to be here within fifteen minutes and it has been two hours.

Someday I will clean/repair/??? my PS5 controller so I can finish Clair Obscure and Cyberpunk. Someday. It developed stick drift on its left analogue stick and it’s not unplayable but it is extremely annoying.

🐀WE HAVE A GAME!!! 🐀 It's an amazing puzzle game based on the food and treats the heroRATs eat for Full Cheek Friday with an online high scoreboard! Can you get number one? 😏 Feel free to play and share with your communities to raise awareness! callmemonamiral.itch.io/full-cheek-f...

Regular software is down at work so I’ve been finding other stuff to do but I’m running out of “other duties as assigned” aaaahhhhh

Got new furniture for Tobi and he approves.

I can finally show my newest creation... BRUSHBUDDY COOL S CHARM!!!!!

Piper spent like two hours under the blanket today

I think this is one of the best designed little thangs ever

Tomodachi Life is awesome

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

NEVER KILL YOURSELF

Today is the day where I finally sort and wash all the sweaters on The Chair in my room. It’s going to be hot so they will dry nicely on the rack outside.

Made a really funny oopsie at work. Ordered one unit of informational coloring books thinking I would receive the “Quantity Per Box: 100” listed on the web page. Missed the fine print where it says I’m actually ordering individual copies. So today I received a single coloring book in an envelope.

Both of my roommates and I are all sick at the same time… I don’t think this has ever happened before. It’s normally only one at a time or one after the other.

Oh my god the bass player for this Miku tour is Jason Richardson??? Who I saw open for Dethklok?? That’s CRAZY

I’m at a Miku Hatsune concert and I’m so white gorl wasted I have no idea what is going on this is genueonly the most uncanny expericenof my entire life

Oiughhh it’s Witch Hat monday but I have so much stuff to do tonight before I get to watch it…

Visiting my sister’s cats

no new doodles so here's an oldie for mgs2 day

Figured out how to manipulate my Instagram algorithm so all my suggested posts are Project Hail Mary fanart (shoutout to the people who ship Grace with Simon from Iron Lung), book recs and reviews, and inspection videos of hot mess new build houses.

Good Night ✨ #witchhatatelier

I like the Invincible fandom because their show is actively airing and they’re still doing the kind of insane shitposting you normally see in fandoms for shows that ended several years ago.

Lrp I’ve never heard of that guy before but i am on his block list! Yippee!

me when I'm paid to be a technical advisor on a platform with millions of active users

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

I am having a terrible time with technology in general and the printer specifically today and am thinking of my ancestor in 1450something who probably dropped his entire drawer of movable type printing pieces and considered giving up on the day and going home.

Every week my goal in Pikmin Bloom is to not be the person in my walking challenge with the lowest number of steps. This is surprisingly difficult when your teammates are Japanese and Korean ladies who walk 17,000 steps in one day. I am jealous of your walkable commute!!

saw some turtles today.

I really enjoyed reading Annihilation bc I love a fucked up exploration log & the biologist was a great narrator bc she kind of sucked but now I’m trying Authority and it’s soooooo slow and boring by comparison.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

I’ve been on a big tofu kick lately. I love a nutrient block.

My back hurts in the usual way today (sacroiliac joint) but on the right side instead of the usual left, which is exciting.

Project Hail Mary thoughts: excellent soundtrack, the retro/cassette futurism set design was gorgeous, great movie for Big Sweater enjoyers, always love to watch Ryan Gosling scream and get thrown around.

I’m going to see Project Hail Mary today because 1) someone compared it to Harold and Maude and i adore that movie but whaaaat does that mean??? 2) I want to see the fox cardigan that has gripped the knitting community
