I would like to be known for my accessible images and my obtuse posts.
There was a local chain here called The Good Egg that got bought up and turned into First Watches. There wasn’t anything special about the menu apart from the abundance of egg puns, but you could get a good, solid plate of huevos rancheros there and you wouldn’t have to eat again until dinner

please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there

I’m making steady progress through Automatic Noodle which does one of my favorite things that a book can do: throw together two things that seem like they shouldn’t work but do. In this case it’s sort of partway between Have You Eaten? and Murderbot.

Come down off the cross, we can use the wheels.
Putting wheels on the cross to make it easier to carry is probably the most MAGA Evangelical thing ever. All of the victimhood but none of the sacrifice.

One of about two or three songs I learned by heart while I spent multiple hours each night pacing the house with a colicky infant in my arms
The booke of love ys long & boringe
No folk kan lyft the damned thinge
Crammid ful of charters & lore & rubrics
And ynstructiouns for daunsing -
But Ich? Ich love it whan thou readest to me;
And thee, thou kanst reade me eny thinge.
("The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields)

No lie, this double feature would sell out in an instant.
I like goofy comedies and incredibly tense and slickly-produced horror flicks.

I will die on the hill that when Apple changed their laptops from “Apple right side up when the user is about to open it” to “Apple right side up when people observe you working on your laptop” is when Apple lost its way

I woke up at 2:30am last night, just awake enough that I couldn’t get back to sleep. So I read about 90 pages of Automatic Noodle and fell back asleep into a dream where I both learned that my father had cancer and was wearing an exceptionally short black skirt. Not sure what to do with that.

I am willing to admit two things about this TTRPG discourse cycle: first that I am wading in with only the barest knowledge of the history of the argument so most of what’s on my mind lacks the full context, and second that I am not going to be able to get my thoughts out while typing with my thumbs

On the other hand, I think that the people who say no are largely the people who don’t want serious critique so they can keep saying “it’s just a game” and slaughtering racially-coded orcs without being questioned about the implications
The “Does system matter” discourse reminds me of the “Are video games art” discourse in that both conversations are incredibly frustrating and limiting, and they prevent further insights by their very existence.
Any serious critique of these mediums has to suppose that the answers are “yes.”

Apropos of nothing, my partner and I wrote our own vows in classic AuDHD fashion in the absolute dead of night the morning before our wedding. We have no recollection of what we wrote or where the file is that we wrote it in. So whenever we need an excuse we say “you have to, it was in our vows.”
Listen, I'll annoy you forever if you let me and I'll do it gladly

I used this as an excuse to get some breakfast at Dunkies and have to admit that the $5 meal deal is still not worth $5. It’s more of s “$5 and you’ll be hungry in an hour” meal.
My oatmeal didn’t oatmeal this morning and I’m not sure why

It occurs to me this morning that what I’m really saying is that I don’t really like my hoodie but owning two hoodies seems excessive when you’re living on the edge of the Sonoran desert
It has occurred to me that I don’t actually dislike this weather, I just get annoyed that there isn’t even enough of it to bother making preparations for. I don’t want three one-week stretches where I have to remember how to dress in layers. Why bother?
