My coffee/espresso hot take: a dark roast pairs better with syrups than a lighter roast. Lighter roasts seem too sour or too tangy. Dark, while the taste is robust is smoother.

I like the mad cow disease take.

Man these owls (Bruce & Selena) are fast. I heard them to the right down the street when I opened the front door. I hooted at them - as I always do. Next thing I know they’re hooting behind me in the neighbors tree. Hoping last year’s nest is still intact for them to use it again.

Hmm?! www.autostraddle.com/quiz-whats-y...

Listening: This was a bookclub read that I didn’t think I’d like so I’m listening to it now months later. I was right so far. Not my vibe. www.audible.com/pd/B0CX7C9FQ...

Bought a ticket for Kill Bill so I don’t procrastinate. Side note: Really hope the asshole I used to get with back when they came out isn’t at *that* showing.

I bought a keyboard cover. I couldn’t take the chance of spilling - of all things - tomato seeds/juice… AGAIN!

Wonder how Ben Affleck’s doing. 🤔💭

Love a bisexual bird.

Watching: Jingle Bell Heist (2025; Netflix) first holiday movie of the season

It’s been a few years but I’m still mad no one turned in my custom “MELJEN” ring when I lost it at work.

I really want a La Marzocco Micra but I can’t justify spending that much.

I mean God willing I make it to 50. 🙏

I kinda want to spoil myself this next year leading up to my 50th. So 2026 I plan on being fucking selfish.

Anybody else have to go into a different room on the other side of the house to use the burr grinder cause it’s too loud to grind your coffee and everyone else is sleeping? lol

I got a massive stye after birding Thursday. I’ve woken up the last two days looking like Rocky Balboa in every Rocky movie.

Started The Lazarus Project on Netflix. I like it so far.

Late post but season 5 1-4 were really good.

Watching: Frankenstein (2025; Netflix) Using the projector for this watch. Hence the previous post.

I need to find a better way to set up my projector in my room. I always have to put it on tripod on my bed. Kinda thinking of putting a hook in the ceiling and hanging a platform that can be removable. I don’t want a permanent thing.

Bummed I didn’t get the naked tee at the King Princess concert. She doesn’t have any merch on her site but vinyl bundles.

She’s using Avon bubble bath. Lol. #StrangerThings

Damn this might have been a one hit wonder. Tried out again but can’t taste the pumpkin puree this time.

I miss seeing Jen Bartel’s are on my feed.

Made my own pumpkin spice latte. Not bad. More subtle. Which is how it used to taste.

Watching: Joy Ride (2023; Netflix)

Here in body but not in spirit.

Leave it to Nike to do a sick Jordan drop on Black Friday at full price. 😂

Going in my first bird watching expedition .

Hot tip: add a little dijon mustard to your breakfast sammy. On top or mixed w the mayo. 😙👌

I need to get my Uni transcript. Apparently jobs ask for those even though no one has ever asked me for it.

Yes please (but so I can watch too). Most of my favorite shows growing up were weird Canadian shows we watched when we used the satellite dish. 📡

I mean did he JUST find that out? Lol!

Eva Green will be on Wednesday season 3? Perfect.

What could it be?!?!?! 😱 #Pluribus

My focus is waning.

I kinda can’t drink Dr. Pepper without a shot of espresso (or decaf) now.

Women don’t let the government make you think you need to get married.

I low key went to this gala last night cause my sister said one of the MD’s who’s gay was going. Then she canceled last minute.- I can’t make new friends if they don’t show up. Haha.

Had a coffee after dinner. Now I’m like 🫩 and I’m working 6-2:30 tomorrow.

Am I trippin or did TV+ release all this weeks episodes early?

WTH they got Bert Reynolds to cameo. Wowzers. #TheGoldenGirls

I was going to try not to buy too much band merch anymore cause i have so many. Then I watched Hot Ones and learned Winona Ryder collects band tees. Now I’m back all in. Except i didn’t buy any at the last two shows. Lol.

My sister said the other day one of her bf’s friends - I’ve met a few - was telling her he thought I was cool, easy to talk to, etc (he’s married & younger). I was like boost my ego why don’t you. I like to talk - I mean I have a podcast. Especially when people are receptive and/or reciprocate.

I’m at the part of my reading where I can now place the bookmark on the left side pages of the book.

I was gonna read but then I went down a TT rabbit whole again. I hate it. There’s nothing even good on there. Smh.

I’m going to a “cocktail” event tomorrow for my sister’s work. Kinda excited to get a little dressed up (not in a dress though).

I popped two keys off my Logitech MX Keys S keyboard to clean it like I’ve done plenty of times on other keyboards last week. Except this time both key caps broke. Long story short I paid $27 for two replacement keys and they don’t color match. 🥴

Was watching: The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. (2023; Hulu ad free) 👏👏👏👏👏

The double U-Turn turned out to be pretty easy. #AmazingRace
