Enzo came into my office, looked expectantly at the air conditioner (not on) and sat. (sitting = ‘aren’t I good? Reward me’)

I’m obsessed with my Piaggio Ciao but it’s loud, heavy and so vintage that parts are near-impossible to find. If there was a similar looking e-bike? Do I dare to dream?

A famous person was at the bar this evening, always fun to hear about it when it happens. Doug is unflappable, I might have gotten the sillies about it.

Might be the last night that’s cool enough for hot pot for a while

I had the best MIL situation - I finally had that warm, compassionate mom-type figure I wished for all my life. We lost her way, way too early. Going to go read a book in the bathtub in her memory.

Today we learned that Enzo is not afraid of a gangway and that Pride of Baltimore II allows dogs to visit

Belated: I just found out the Chris Davis pitching 2 scoreless innings game was on my birthday, in 2012. What a warm and fuzzy memory

The slumlord special next-door rowhouse that has been a major stressor in my life for at least a decade, maybe 15 years is for sale and I couldn't be happier. Fingers crossed someone decent gets it

My neighbor is asking me/us how early she should get to the ballpark for the tupac bobblehead giveaway, and I ...don't know? Doors are at 5, I'd think then or a little before?

I saw someone talking shit about Atomic as part of the bumper sticker discourse and I will not have it. They gave me a job after leaving neuroscience that kept me going - it was instrumental for my survival and eventual pivot into something different and new.

it's weird to me that this piece doesn't mention the artist who created the "actually" design, esp since the rat artist is named anyway, props to julia kim smith for keeping tongues wagging for years and supporting the library juliakimsmith.com/about

Please don't ask to take engagement photos in our bar when you have never been in before, b/c we have learned from previous experience that you will take the photos adn then never be in again puzzling behavior

Gardeners continue to be On One Them: oh the fish fertilizer is a little stinky lol Actuality: this is a bioweapon straight from Satans butthole. My rose better pop tf off after this

Had a mandatory two-day work retreat and I am peopled out for the next 5-7 business days

A tiny spot in Hampden now has a stream-of-consciousness monthly newsletter from the owner and it’s a touch on the delightfully unhinged side of things. Made better by it arriving in the ol’ inbox after not getting food from there for years

Attending a wedding with a “funky formal” dress code and suggested color palette, and I think I have found (and ordered) a perfect dress.

I'd say a cocktail bar but well, we've already gone and done it.

Enzo says ciao

It’s my favorite coworker’s last day. 😔 I’ve been quietly cheering her on in her job search. Happy for her but sad for me.

Trying, and failing, to get pals to go to the Herzog IMAX screening with me

Neighbor pals have gotten into vinyl and audio stuff, so they came over yesterday to 'optimize' my record player and audio stuff. Having my home system be a little mid is what has kept me from fully falling down the rabbit hole of record collecting. I'm not sure about these recent developments.

My favorite lip balm is both old-fashioned scented and being discontinued.

Got a hit of nostalgia for back in the day (when fells was weird) with this Ford Falcon wagon.

Grinch feet are in full effect

A tiny bummer: something happened to my Charles Theatre account and my years of movie purchases got wiped. :(

Awww, they got Clancy to narrate the City Connect video, I like that.

Time for the bougiest thing we do: a vet home visit for Enzo, who still doesn't care for the car.

Well, at least one being can escape anxiety in this house

this is a whole survival strategy, it's just that the actual success factor may vary

Cursed with expensive taste and that taste right now longs for British Cadbury Easter candy

We got caught in the rain and now everyone is back home and uncomfortably damp

My friend has long nails so Enzo especially appreciates head scratches from her in particular

Likes are down on Bluesky? Better post more Enzo pics

Pimm's Cup going back on the menu means spring is really here.

UX designer job descriptions are getting a little ridiculous these days

I pay for the Enzo cuteness in thunderstorm coddling

A happy pup to cheer me (and you) up

Well, none of the semifinalists from Baltimore progressed in the JBF noms, including us. Still honored and this will be meaningful forever.

It ruled to hear this through the radio

And yet a trace of the true self exists in the false self

Wish I had could be at the yard this year for Opening Day, but then I remember that I was only there last year bc the civic tech decimation freed up my schedule and a lot of other peoples too, and boy howdy it’s nice to be employed.

It’s a key. The …Francis Scott Key. It’s the Francis Scott Key, Key.

Neighbor kid (same one who needed St Patrick’s Day green stuff) needed an orioles shirt or orange gear for school tomorrow you’re in luck, kid - not only have we been going through the trials and tribulations of being O’s fans for years, we also have a bar and Aperol makes swag

serves us right for getting slop bowls from one of the slop bowl companies but lunch was ruined b/c the chicken was spoiled. we reported it to corporate and I hope they took quick action.

Baltimore friends, if you ever want to walk and yap with me and Enzo, it’s on offer. Long walks with the fluffy guy have been the only way I have survived this absolute bullshit year.

Hey folks, this got a bunch of interest, and now it's time for me to circle back and follow up. Still interested? Please email [email protected] - that's our official email. Many thanks.

Do I have any Philly mutuals? Or Baltimore people who might be up for the trip: I have Mary Lattimore/Juliana Barwick tickets I can’t use tonight. Does anyone want them?

The founder(?) at one of my jobs announced we would be “moving our office to the Metaverse“. Our team got the headsets in lieu of a holiday bonus. We had precisely one work meeting in the metaverse. Everyone got seasick. I had to lie down on the floor for a while.

Used to get Boxty at the Swallow every year with a pal who moved far away. Missing my friend today.

Searched my house for some green stuff for the neighbor kid next door to borrow. Here’s what i dug up: - A green camo Battles band shirt (youth size) -A green knit Cynar hat -V beat up green down vest from my high school job at an outdoorsy store, older than he is
