sure a lot of things seem terrible right now but consider: my cats are sleeping holding paws

gothamist keeps running headlines that are like “uh-ohhhhhh, the girls [brad and zohran] are fighting!” and I REFUSE TO BUY INTO IT.

I love them!!!!!!!!!!!

this challah is so big that my cousins all took pictures of it and kept calling it blue-ribbon-at-the-fair challah. one of them insisted we name it and treat it like a pet.

please look at the size of this challah we are taking to my aunt’s for rosh hashanah. cat for scale.

nothing like learning that someone who gives you bad vibes used chatgpt to come up with a thing that would have taken them 30 seconds of thought to come up with. bad vibes confirmed.

the weekend went by so fast 😭

this one in the quote tweet (but they should smooch)

Sam and Adam Jet Lag, baffled in a train station: "it's possible [Ben's] going the slow way." "but why would he. it's not a good move. it doesn't make sense." "it's NOT a good move. ...but he still might do it, I don't know." "that's always the thing with him!"

high key one of the best smells is challah baking in the oven

can’t knit, kitty napping on my yarn

the part of my brain that activates when I Like Thing…. terrifying. “okay so three years ago he said X and I can see in the blurry background of this photograph Y and therefore I am certain about [thing that is absolutely not meant to be public knowledge].” collecting factoids like koroks.

me: I will play Tears of the Kingdom for ten more minutes and then get ready for bed. me an hour and a half later: yes. this plan has worked perfectly. I will now get ready for bed.

having our monthly sister lunch where we find somewhere new in the city to eat and go on a little adventure, and walked past a japanese convenience store?! extremely excited to have melon pan and seaweed flavored chips and also we needed furikake anyway. killing it today.

my dad was an engineer who worked at the local college radio station, and he needed to know if the station was having issues or the transmitters went down, so we were listening to 90s indie rock 😂

the most tense horror movie scene I have ever watched is this scene of jet lag japan capture the flag where adam and ben are hiding from sam in the samurai museum

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

two-at-a-time sleeves going better than expected. I don’t know why I was convinced there would be a ladder when people do this with socks all the time but I definitely was.

replaying tears of the kingdom during my lunch breaks and I’m soooooooo close to getting my glider back. I need to be able to glide!!!

as yarn stashes go this is not TOO bad, right? it’s for four planned out projects, plus all the left overs in the bottom right corner. it’s going to be a very mauve and gray winter knitting season.

a real mensch

"We're gonna keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors."

how am I getting mosquito bites. it is mid September. is the world not tough enough right now without mosquito bites.

I have chosen an excellent time to become obsessed with an artist-owned media network. Would anyone like a free pass for a week of Nebula? I have three, apparently. (You don't even have to watch Jet Lag, they have tons of stuff, but... you COULD watch Jet Lag, iajs.)

guess what I love Adam Jet Lag

feeling like trash this morning, but I can't tell if it's from the vaccines or just because I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in (because my arm hurt so much). why not both, I guess.

delighted to be double vaccinated but owwww my arrrrrrrm :(

“This fucking website fucking sucks. I hate websites. There should be no websites. Websites should not exist." wise words from Ben Jet Lag

she’s vaxxed against covid! she’s vaxxed against the flu! and she watched half of the jet lag season premiere while waiting because it took fucking forever!!!

finished andrea mowry’s everyday cowl. not seasonal yet but a fun thing to work on during meetings and it works up so squishy and cozy.

Becky: "BENJAMIN BING-BONG DOYLE IF YOU GET CAUGHT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU AREN'T LOOKING AT YOUR TRACKER I SWEAR TO GOD--" #jetlagjapancapturetheflag

asking duane reade yet again what tf my sex assigned at birth has to do with getting a vaccine

I could be knitting. I could be reading my Japanese middle-grades novel. I could be watching Jet Lag. I could be playing Tears of the Kingdom. and yet I am expected to be working??!!?????? BAH.

I am knitting sleeves two-at-a-time for the first time bc they are SO BORING, but I am going for Extra Hard Challenge Mode because I'm holding yarn doubled to knit this sweater, so I have four skeins I need to keep untangled. (I have put them into ziploc bags in pairs, hopefully that helps)

important Ben From Jet Lag: The Game's pants update now how am I going to describe those in alt text....

I love the Jet Lag boys with my whole entire heart but their pronunciation of Japanese subway stations is going to give me an aneurysm. @allreb.bsky.social and I are having a great time pointing to places in Tokyo station shouting "we ate a snack there!" "we got a stamp there!" "OH NO BEN."

I have an alarm clock that is also a sunrise simulator to help me wake up. it’s great and I love it but it’s a lot less effective during a total eclipse

spooky cuddles season

reminding myself that I am not actually getting sick this morning, I just worked until 10pm and then had to get up at 6 am to start working again, and if I get even a couple of minutes less than 8 hours of sleep my entire body collapses in protest

Since I am working late (and also all weekend) I am allowing myself to reblog (more) Jet Lag stuff on tumblr as a little treat

my hat is off to the client in this meeting who works for a pretty conservative company and just attempted to pick a fight over how "it's pretty weird how no one gives a shit about the price of eggs NOW, I'm just SAYING--" His attempt did not succeed, but I salute him for trying.

I’m working late tonight and all weekend which is good for the budget but bad for morale, so I’m going for a walk to buy some sweet treats and a couple of used books to bolster my mood.

YESSSSSSSSS HADES II

but I don't WANT to go to work, I want to watch more Jet Lag

there are no stakes and no prizes and yet @allreb.bsky.social and I are so invested in this NZ season of Jet Lag

the danger of having a loaf of challah in the apartment is that if I am left unsupervised, I will eat an entire loaf of challah

Japanese adverbs are absolutely brutal

person on this work phone call: "And then she said, she said, she said--" my brain: 🎶 WHY DON'T YOU JUST DROP DEADDDDDDD 🎶
