"Ordering now? We can deliver overnight between 4am-8am"

Me: "I do *not* need my label maker delivered at 4am.........."

(I did once order something with a "deliver between 7am-9am" slot, not realizing the delivery guy would be mad I didn't answer the door at 7am.......so never again...)

I will forever miss the old Entenmann's Halloween cupcakes (with the candy corn on them), but since they stopped making them I discovered the local bakery makes good cupcakes for Halloween

They're (obviously) way better than the Entenmann's ones 😊

Apparently YouTube TV dropped ABC and some other stuff and also axed any ABC-related DVR recordings

I wouldn't have noticed, but my mom texted me like "...does Hulu have my show?"

Yes, they do (this would have never happened in the VCR days)

Oh look, one of the series I will not shut up about next season, #YouAndIArePolarOpposites

(The manga is ADORABLE and it looks like they've done a good job, at least in the trailer, of translating the adorableness to anime?)

I almost forgot about Jimi Halloween because there's not as many Japanese accounts over here.....

Thankfully on the other hell site one of the accounts I follow posted some along with the hashtag?

*Finishes reading new, much-awaited, spicy salaryman manga*

Me: "Huh, these other guys in the book are different guys than the OTHER salaryman one sensei did....wonder if they have a side story"

THEY HAVE A SEPARATE WHOLE BOOK (that predates this one)

WHERE BOOK? 🥺

Ok, I think I got a saved search set up that mostly does the same thing.......

But I do kind of hate that if I put it in grid view I can't easily open the separate results in new tabs to see the details before requesting.....

Oh boo, did NYPL get rid of the really nice new title lists?

I liked the grid view and had my filters fine-tuned to just show me print comics in English.......

One of the WEIRDEST songs to have heard ON THE RADIO in the 90s (and then I finally saw the music video when VH1 Classic was a thing)

And now I'm going to be signing that chorus to myself all night 😆

Finally off the train where a weirdo kept trying to pick fights with one of the other passengers for some reason, only to end up on a rare "local to the end, even though it's rush hour" train 😑

So happy I *don't* have to go again tomorrow?

........We haven't used library barcodes for off-campus access since at least I've been here

Why do we *still* get tickets from people asking us about their library barcodes for databases?

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE BARCODES ANYMORE?? (Digital IDs lack them, we use their student ID # instead)

Heading a small task force that doesn't have an official name

So every time I refer to it I'm kind of like "...we're thinking of changing the name..." 😆

How bad is my seiyuu brain rot? I saw last night that Amazon had Battle Royale on streaming and was like "I wonder if they have the apparently terrible sequel?" 😆

Dr. Sensei: "Why?"
Me: "Fave is in it...😅"

Dr. Sensei and I are watching some episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and what strikes me is how BIZARRE and darkly humorous the segments when Hitchcock are?

Still working on catching up to the end of last season

While this arc of #CallOfTheNight didn't hit as well as the first (and I know the story gets even meatier after this)...this line was just too great

(And add to it that it's a Sugita-voiced weirdo with English thrown in for good measure...)

I don't want to be the asshole who spams the annoying listserv... but if I was one of those people...

Same!

Yeah....

The first season was so fun.... the second kind of dragged weird? But I felt bad not liking it....

I figured was something not loading on my end ... guessing now that it just didn't upload properly?

Also bad: I kind of expected it wasn't showing up by dinner time, so I put my one veggie peeler in the dishwasher

....at least the carrots looked pretty ok? (I'm not good at peeling with a knife and was crunched for time)

Good: my meal kit box showed up just as I was like "if it's not here by the time I finish this one task...I guess I'll figure out something else tonight"

Bad: Somehow I accidentally ordered one of the meals twice? So I had 2x all of the ingredients? Not sure how that even happened....

At least there is WAY LESS to watch this season...so catching up won't be too bad....

Rebecca is trying this place out @ninjashisho.bsky.social · 5d

Fell behind with the end of last season, so I'm finally getting around to finishing up last season's stuff so then I can start the new stuff 😅

(Was working my way though SMTV....)

Mmmm, I've been thinking about scones.......

I think I may need to try that base recipe you posted.....

Poe thing was pretty cool

They had actors doing readings of several Poe works (and they were really good!)

Did wish the final cocktail didn't have milk in it so I could have had it (the mocktail they had for last didn't, so I had that one)

Also, we joked that the MC was paid by-the-Poe-pun 😅
