Update: this post was prompted by a conversation with my sister about the same. Her toddler plays with the Hess trucks that belonged to his dad as a kid. I said that I’d always wanted one and promptly forgot the entire conversation - she got me one for Christmas ☺️
The Christmas Hess truck jingle was the single most effective marketing campaign in making me want something that I’d never ordinarily have wanted as a kid.

My infant niece was thrilled to be read to from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, may make an Arthuriana aficionado out of her yet 😉

It turns out that all it takes to manipulate me into eating raisins - which I despise, which have probably not passed my unwilling lips in 20 years - is a happy toddler insisting, ‘Auntie Susu, *cookie!*’ The things I do for you, kid 😂

These days, the dad from ‘Gullah Gullah Island’ is selling homemade bundt cakes on Etsy. Sometimes I remember that and I feel like the world might be okay, eventually.

I have a much younger cousin who is trans, who was at today’s family party - as well as older relative(s) who haven’t been in touch in over a decade & had no clue who he was when they saw him. Had to bust out one of my favorite phrases, “You don’t have to understand, you just have to be respectful.”

I’m not much of a kid person, but I gotta say, it does feel kinda gooey when a little kid trusts and loves you implicitly and wants to include you in their shenanigans. This message brought to you by my nephew’s 2nd birthday party today.

This probably sounds goofy, but I’m absolutely terrified of the traffic patterns in the town I just moved to this weekend, so I waited til stupid o’clock so there wouldn’t be any traffic to take a little joyride up the main road and try to shake off my driving nerves a bit. I think it helped! Bleh.

My brother in law thought it would be funny to ‘challenge’ me to put Pepper X sauce in my lunch. Son, I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, I’ll drink it if you wanna test me 😁

My sister: “Anything special you want at Thanksgiving dinner?”
Me: “Oh I’m happy with whatever you wanna do, all that matters to me is my annual opportunity to evangelize to your children about Concorde.”

Taking what is probably my last-ever trip on the LIRR and somebody poured absolutely an entire large hazelnut coffee all over every possible inch of the floor of this train car. Watching everybody doing duck waddles trying to get through to a seat without becoming coated in it. Delightful. Stunning.

My mom was the one who put me on to the Beastie Boys - she grew up in NYC at the same time they came up, and they had a big influence on her. She died shortly before MCA did, and I said that it was just as well, because she wouldn’t want to live in a world without the Beasties - only kind of a joke.

Beastie Boys’ 2004 “To The 5 Boroughs” is largely a criticism of Bush-era political garbage, and I love it with all my heart, but listening to it now is making me so sad about where we are today. Anyway, MCA forever 🩷

I am so, so grateful to have been a kid in school before chromebooks/laptops were a thing, let alone a requirement; I remember teachers beginning projects by asking, show of hands, how many of you have internet access at home? to plan computer lab time.

In researching life in the town I’m about to be moving to, I’ve found out that there’s an official LFC supporters chapter that meets up like 20 minutes from my new place - but they seem to coordinate exclusively via Facebook 😭

I’ve been consistent in my position that, while I found some fans’ treatment of TAA *while he was still with us* frustrating, that it would be a totally different story if/when he ever came to show his face at Anfield as part of Real Madrid. Real shame he didn’t put up today, eh? ;) | #LFC #YNWA

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

Choosing movies to watch tonight and thinking about how poetic it is that Takashi Miike made ‘Audition,’ a fucked up torture movie that makes me wanna barf, ‘One Missed Call,’ one of my all-time favorite slightly goofy gems, and the live-action Gyakuten Saiban. Truly a man who contains multitudes.

A language quirk I ❤️ is how many languages don’t have separate words for “lemon” and “lime.” Lemons are lemons, limes are also lemons -green lemons if you need specificity- which I did know but was reminded of while enjoying a frosty Diet Coke Lime & had it commented on by one of my ESL homies 😄🍋 🍋🟩
