Celebrated American Thanksgiving by finally trying marshmallow sweet potatoes.
They're fine! They also sort of taste like the milk from Golden Grahams cereal.

I've taken my phone off silent for the first time in ~12 years for pregnancy brain reasons (iykyk), and truly some baffling sounds coming out of that thing.

Say what you will about old white people cooking, but they *will* teach you a thing or two about boiling the shit out of some vegetables

Had a stress dream about Severance last night, as if my subconscious mind couldn't help being like 'oh no how can we help Mark S. get out of this one?'

I was flabbergasted to learn my husband doesn't know the Todd Rundgren song 'Bang on the Drum,' but also he grew up without TV and as far as I can figure out, I learned it from a 1997 Toyota Rav-4 commercial

Sometimes I set little reminders in my phone for the benefit of future me, such as 'ask mum about blue sweater' or today's 10 am alert: 'aortic aneurism symptoms'

I mean...maybe in that for a while Pizza Hut China had a pizza with lobster on top?
Because the US gov't has spent 30 years telling us how horrible China is, but....their groceries are cheap, high quality, and plentiful (they're eating lobster and crab on a Monday at lunch, not an anniversary dinner). Their jobs provide incredible, varied, healthy lunches and an hour to eat them..

Thought pregnancy was bringing more curl to my waves and then realised it's just that I'm sleeping with a humidifier pointed directly at my head

I will forgive Bad Sisters many sins but please tell me Joe isn't going to stick around. He is both dumb and boring! Also not particularly hot, just tall!

Got very distracted during Gladiator 2 thinking about sharks represented in media pre-1950 and thank god I can recognize the siren song of a bad decision (grad school round 2) when it's just starting to hum.
