LOVE vaudeville. Been told I favor Jodie Foster & Marty Feldman. I'm chuffed about the Feldman. she/her
Can I just say, in Murderbot.. that stunning realization for it, that "I can walk around in regular clothes and no one around me knows." was perfect. It can go live it's life.
Loved the show.

Also, I was wanting something a bit sweetish last night. Looked through the cabinets, and took stock of what I had.
* Box of brownie mix
* Eggs
* tangerines
"Hmmm", says I, thinking how much I like Terry's Chocolate Oranges to go along with my @theirishrovers.bsky.social around Christmas time.

Look, I'm not sure what corporate America has against comfort. I am so much more productive when I can wear my comfy clothes (not pajamas), drink my tea, eat my little snacks, and have my foot massager working, heating my feet.
Why is WFH so wrong? Again, I've gotten MORE DONE. What is the problem?

That's literally the only proper response to that.
Someone just asked “Why waste time reading the book when you can simply watch the movie?” and long story short there comes a time when you must acknowledge that a friendship has run its course.

As I scroll through my azure feeds, I am frequently reminded why I love bluesky.
It's literally populated with Statlers and Waldorfs.. with the occasional Astoria, Fozzy, and Gonzo thrown in. My god the zingers that I see get tossed around.
Love all of you.

Update: These did not work for me, because of my frigging abnormally high arches. I can't get the top of my foot past the bottom of the 'tongue' or past the bottom of the zipper.
They make velcro inserts that screw into the eyelets. That works for me. I can go stompy stompy again.

Also, in my 50's, starting to really teach myself how to stretch because it's time to get the combat boots back out, with my torn sweaters, mohawk and color my hair.. dammit.
Tip: If you are old enough to have some trouble with laces, they make boot zipper inserts that lace in. Just saying.

Also I got my library card (yay public library) and immediately e-checked out Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant.. OMG, I love his books so much. I haven't read this one, but it's following Vimes and the Watch.

So, with the weather coming.. I'm approaching my DnD group about potentially switching to discord for doing the game Friday night remotely.
If this works, would anyone in my mutual friends be interested? Again, I don't care about stats and I throw rules out the windows.

Also, just a side note: It's amazing how quickly you can clean out half of your garage when you see water on the floor. Just saying. Mobilized me to do far more in 2 hours than I've done in 6 months.
UPDATE: I do not have a leak and my water heater is fine.
The neighbor has a leak. We're connected, and their leak is against the wall, and it was seeping into my garage, pooling around the water heater. They were informed (didn't know), it's fixed, all garages are dry.. win win for everyone.

How funny would it be if I moved out of my house on the edge of a flood plain because.. you know.. the flooding.. to get a garage flooded by a hot water heater in an apartment on a hill?

I'm listening to a mixed 80's, 90's & today station, and I've heard Benatar, Jackson, Spears, Seal, REM, and I don't know.
Listening to the actual good music from my childhood and teenage years has helped my brain chemistry today.
Yes, Pat.. Love IS a battlefield, I feel better about the world.

I mean, I know they are, and they're sheepy sheep, but I've never seen an animal that looked so much like a stuffed animal in my life (was raised on a farm).

Annnnnd just realized this morning, the reason the coffee maker was doing the whole "Clean my needle!" every other time is a piece on the bottom of the pod assembly broke off, and is broken.
It is now JUST a hot water dispenser, and a coworker had instant coffee.
Which is fine.

To be clear, the cider I had yesterday was a powder in the cup. It did not go through the coffee machine, just hot water. I have thoroughly washed and rinsed my cup. My second cup of coffee this morning also vaguely tastes of apple.
