The anaphora in the lyrics of 'Favorite Record' by Fall Out Boy mimics the skipping of a record, in this essay I will.....(A deeper reading emphasizes memory, a song stuck in one's head, and as the duo of repeated words resolved into one, reflecting the past tense of the relationship GO TO WORK JJ)

One of the lifeguards at open swim had a guitar and was strumming along to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack. For reference, open swim has until this point been completely without accompanying music. Amazing night, glad we went.

Fingers crossed that the artist who did my space bee tattoo is interested in my vibes only description of what I want for an upper back piece. I did use the phrase "art deco book cover embossment."

Auto-correct has once again called me out, changing "camp fire" to "vampire." The only problem is, I'm writing werewolves.

Not counting the in-the-oven time. Once I get cooking, I just cook!

Spent an hour pretending I was a baker and made almond blueberry muffins, potato and cheese quiche, and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

Me: I need to listen to some music today that won't make me cry.
*puts on stomachaches*
*gets to "She's the Prettiest Girl at the Party, and She Can Prove It with a Solid Right Hook"*
Me:.......I don't know what I expected.

Yes Granada Holmes is the absolute best, Jeremy Brett nails the cunning and clever without being hateful.

The unhinged noises Babycakes made when I told her the audiobook for the Millicent Quibb sequel came in on Libby.

Second morning of getting up early to write with @thehoyden.bsky.social and then had someone come to the house to do a thing that means I continue to get a good grade in divorce, a thing that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

Spent my full moon mental health walk listening to The Black Parade, fixated on the percussion. Good thing I'm using this ultra-focused observation for something really important - a novel that will have a deeply niche (if any) market.

A fancy drink and a Sunday of story work

Photo of a cluttered desk with a caramel iced coffee, a corner of a computer monitor with an open document, and lots of small whimsical art and decorations clearly made by a child.

I'm not going to lie. I am extremely disappointed to find out that "Helsing SG-1" refers to an autonomous submersible rather than what would have been a gloriously insane crossover TV series.

The Food that Built America. There’s also apparently Toys and Mega Brands series.
