"Hey Gemini! Do these flowers go with these other flowers over here?" Gemini: I dunno… Maybe ask the person working behind the counter who has been watching you wander the store talking at your phone for the last 20 minutes?

Recruiter: As part of your application we'd like you to take these specs and create a cover for a book… Me: So you want me to work for free? Why would I do that? Recruiter: … Me: Pass. Thanks.

Woke up to no hot water in the building this morning, so I guess my monthly shower is going to be rescheduled…

I'm a bit amused that Donny couldn't even keep a turkey entertained long enough to stick around while he rambled… Also, did Donny say that turkeys ate beef, grass, and smoothies?

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social, this is something that you need to immediately nip in the bud. The US doesn't get control over our potash.

Me, every day at this time; How did it get so dark!? It's not even 5 o'clock yet!

It's almost What Am I Having For Dinner o'clock…

So apparently someone drove on to the ferry and then walked off the ferry and forgot their car again… I know I'm forgetful sometimes, but would I forget that I brought a car on a ferry? Hrm.

"I steal books because I'm poor and I can't afford to buy books!" Really? I broke into your house because I'm also poor, and now I have your computer because I like computers and I can't afford to buy new ones.

So the "job spammers" are now sending images in text messages instead of just the usual, "Hey can I ask you something?" msgs. Time to block images from people I don't know I guess.

What if Putin was "Bubba"?

Left my door unlocked all night again… Good thing nobody came in to murder me in my sleep. hashtag rural BC

Finally got around to watching THE THUNDERBOLTS and FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS and I have regrets… Thunderbolts was campy, as I assumed it would be, but also boring. And FF? Why can't Marvel get a FF movie right? The Thing was just so wrong… Michael Chiklis was perfect for The Thing, IMO

New jacket for the winter…

SIL was in to Costco yesterday so she brought me… 5 lbs of cheese! hashtag cheese coma

Selling Hamburger Helper implies the existence of Hamburger Hinderer…

I find it amusing* that UPS can just cancel all of their deliver guarantees because of the Canada Post slow down… That's just blaming someone else because you're unreliable. *Not really amused.

Carney's Budget passes with the help of the Green Party and NDP… Nobody wants a winter election… except maybe PP.

Just got toothpaste that I ordered from Amazon like 3 or 4 months ago, and it was back-ordered so I forgot about it… and they shipped it via Purolator. How is that even cost-effective for like $10 worth of product? Eesh.

PP spending his day whining about the Carney budget instead of actually doing things to improve the life of his constituents and all Canadians. But that's all PP's done for over 20 years in politics… nothing.

Nephew's wife brought me pizza… because she wanted pizza and apparently there's a minimum spend to get pizza delivered here… Kids, eh? Still… free pizza.

My fortune cookie tonight says, "Good thoughts make life better." Gee thanks fortune cookie. You know what else makes life better? 500,000 bucks.

My SIL bought a new chandelier for the their dining room… so of course I had to go over and put it up. I tried to teach my brother how to do it, but he's not very handy. I mean, it's two screws and three wires. Not that hard.

I wonder how many meme coin a pardon is worth these days?

I haven't lived in North York, Ontario, for many many years, yet Councillor Anthony Perruzza keeps robo-calling me and leaving messages on my answering service… Look, Anthony… phone numbers are no longer tied to places or regions. Get over that.

Is Marge the first rat to leave the sinking ship? News at 11.

Today is laundry day and I hate doing laundry… I should probably just embrace nudism.

I enjoy the way a certain number of Americans feel they have to jump up and tell us that their horrible & draconian insurance system isn't. Look, if you write a contract with someone and they can change it on a whim, or refuse to pay out, or decide to charge more for any reason, then it's not good.

My SIL bought a modern (made in 2003), but retro-looking record player at the thrift store for $12 a couple months ago, but got bored with it. She asked me if I wanted it, and for some crazy reason I said yes… I'm sure it will be donated again soon because I don't really NEED it. hashtag Packrat

So now Doug Ford is trying to steal Exhibition Place away from Toronto by quietly adding it to the "Rebuilding Ontario Place Act." He's already stolen Ontario Place and sold it to foreigner investors. The Science Centre will be sold next… Now the CNE grounds. Show up and vote, Ontario.

Is it lost on anyone that, while Donny is rounding up and forcibly deporting immigrants, he's also saying that he wants to issue visas for immigrants that do "specialized jobs." What's the incentive for ANY foreigner to apply for a visa to a country that's actively disappearing foreigners?

Halloween candy is on sale, so I bought a box with 100 mini candy bars… which I may or may not attempt* to consume in one sitting during an attempt to quell my rage… basically everything in the world today. *No, I won't. But sometimes…

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind, "Immigrants are taking houses, so housing prices are up." Does that mean that if immigrants have the means to buy a house that they should not be allowed to buy a house? If I have money I'm not allowed to buy certain things?

Has he impeached yet?

Sold 2 books on eBay. Measured them beforehand to make sure that they fit as "lettermail" so I can charge shipping. Canada Post refuses package. Claims it's more than 20 mm. Package with bubble envelope is 22 mm. So it should have cost $7.75 and they want $23.85. Fuck that noise. Shipped UPS.

FB Marketplace Buyer: Is this bike for sale? Me: Yes. Buyer: Where is it located? How much? Me: Read the ad. Buyer: It is electric? Me: Read. The. Ad. Buyer: Is it a pedal bike? Me: FFS…

Local Guy: I'm buying coins and RCM packs. Me: I have some coins on eBay, here's a link. If you're interested we can meet up and deal locally. LG: I don't eBay. Send me some photos. Me: Never said you had to eBay. Photos are on eBay, go look. LG: I don't eBay. Me: *sigh* Nevermind then.

THE VIDEO IS OUT! Enjoy! 😁 youtu.be/9k7OUowPPMQ

Time to chuck Chuck.

Spoiler: Republicans lie. Get everything in writing.

Anyone taking bets that this will be a huge Republican lie and they will destroy US Healthcare? And then go back and defund SNAP anyway? Someone call Vegas.

So Chuck has decided that this is the hill he will end his political career on…

So I finally watched CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD last night. I wonder if that's where Donny got the idea to tear down the White House? I can see why the box office returns were weak on this movie. It wasn't great. It was like half the story was missing. I give it 2.5/5 stars.

Checks out…

I enjoy Vance's comment that it's "absurd" to fund food subsidies during a government shutdown… "Christians."

SIL gave me a lift to and from the grocery store today since she was heading there anyway, so I was able to feed my Diet Pepsi addiction because it's on sale and I didn't have to carry it home! Win-win?

Has Cuomo left for Florida yet? Why not? Someone call him an Uber.

So woke up to some good news this morning. The Client has accepted our pricing on their ESL project and we can move forward beginning mid-Dec (which everyone knows means January). It's Very Good money! Probably our last career job though. Unless something changes in the US over the next 8 months

Is anyone helping Cuomo pack his things for his move to Florida? Maybe if we all help we can speed things up for him.
