At least he’s acknowledging that he’s a shitty president?

Ah, reality. Reminding me several times daily now that it doesn’t have to stick to the same rules writers need to keep in mind.

I warned everyone. More Blue-throated Goldentail

#hummingbirds #birds #costarica

Small hummingbird perched on a branch, tail fanned to show yellow-orange feathers, iridescent green back, red bill, and soft forest background.

Today was a gorgeous day to get outside and get some fresh air. So glad that I did that!

Given where SNAP is during this shutdown, now might be a great time to donate to your local food bank if you’re able to do so.

Sometimes, despite all your efforts to convince yourself otherwise, you really do have a minor migraine and should go ahead and take the meds and fall asleep.

It me. But at least I got through a work day intact!

Hah, and now it’s in my head too!

I see the parade of horror clowns continues in the world outside my abode.

I often think this about the folks out in the woods on a trail who decide that everyone should hear their music or phone convo. Earbuds are awesome. Please use them.

Wouldn’t that be lovely. Are we sure we’re not in some hell dimension?

Isn’t this why a person uses earbuds?

Today the local crows decided to have their usual chat session outside my abode. Then a hawk started “shouting” over them, and they grew quiet. I can’t help but imagine that the hawk was like, “Can you all keep it down over there?”

Or maybe it was “Stop telling the other birds I’m hunting here!”

Or maybe it was just a nap I needed desperately.

I love this movie!

Early bedtime it is!

I had this wonky dream where dream-me said that within a month, things would be WAY worse than they are now for everyone everywhere. And it was dream-me saying it as if awake-me were listening. (I did say wonky.)

Let’s hope my dream self is just being alarmist.

I mean, could curse them with the bra, too. Heh.

Finally finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Well, not completionist-level finished. But the story part is done.

I kind of savor-played my way through it. Loved it so much.

I’m honestly not sure where this week went. Like, I to-did a lot of to-dos, mainly for work, but hmmm. Time is weird.

Miranda Horner @mirandahorner.bsky.social · 10d

I can’t stop laughing.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

This may have made my night. I can’t stop laughing.

Hah, I lived only a bit away from the road. Over on Slaughter Lane. Google maps was saying it correctly when I moved to MD; I wonder if it still is.

I think you may need an entire massage therapist appointment to help. I know I do.
