It strikes me that between the death of the phone book and the long-ago rise of web search as the primary means of finding local services, there’s a whole generation of people who surely have no idea why there are businesses called things like “AAA-A KEY LOCKSMITH,” etc.

The other day, I realized that I didn’t have a slow cooker, but that it could actually be really useful for me… but what I didn’t wanna do was buy a brand new one with timers, electronic displays , bells, whistles, Wi-Fi connectivity, etc… I just wanted a reliable old Crock Pot.

I was promised a cold front and drier air, and I regret to inform you that it is currently 81° with a dew point of 70° in Orlando, Florida right now.

OK, I just finally read about this Western Massachusetts lesbian bar, and I was genuinely dumbfounded until I read that the bar was apparently opened as part of a Hampshire College capstone project. Now it kind of makes sense.

I woke up this morning to find Theodore stretched out and sleeping on my chest, with his little face pressed up against my cheek, and I can think of absolutely no better way to start the day.

For this, I tried to focus on games that I played in my childhood and teenage years that were in some way meaningful, or formative and influential in determining the sorts of games I would play for the rest of my life. 🕹️ My9games.net/

Just got served an ad on IG for a paint by numbers kit featuring an image of a hunk & a twink in a sexy romance-novel-esque embrace in some creepy Gothic castle. And while I would never actually hang this finished work in my home, the specificity with which I was targeted for this is still eerie. 😂

I sincerely don’t care if elected officials get a little ahh freaky because who am I to judge? — UNLESS you’re a nasty, anti-gay, moralizing piece of shit. Then I have an issue with you (a female legislator) scissoring your (female) chief of staff on the regular. Also, the HR violation of it all!

I keep buying sweaters in anticipation of when the weather finally turns here, despite the fact that I know we’re still 4-6 weeks away from that happening. But anyway, the first one is real 80s vintage, the others are all brand new. And I love every single one of them.

Franklin decided to inspect the vintage trick-or-treating bucket to see if there might be some candy inside.

I just love these videos people post like “Here’s how to make easy, inexpensive, vintage-looking Halloween decorations,” and step two is always “With an inhumanly steady hand, draw this elaborate design — freehand — with 7 different acrylic paint pens.” So easy! 😅

Went to the big aerialist/pyrotechnic show at Halloween Horror Nights this evening, and I was SO distracted by the fact that one of the shirtless sexy boy vampires had a big tattoo of a cross on his back, and this raised so many questions for me about what effect that would have on a vampire.

Franklin likes to imagine himself as a giant cat kaiju, stomping through my little Halloween village and causing mayhem. Last night as I stood up from my desk, I found that a small, candy corn-colored bottlebrush tree had been carried down the hall and placed gently on the floor behind me.

I do not need an AI chatbot to tell me what I’d have looked like in the 80s, because I lived through ~87% of the 80s and this is what I actually looked like then. (Featuring a cameo by Samantha the goat).

I think this will finally be the time that I actually finish Ocarina of Time. 😅 I never owned a Nintendo 64, and in all honesty every game I’ve tried to play from that generation (even “remasters”) has been the ugliest, jankiest thing imaginable in the absence of any nostalgia. (Sorry lol)

I’ve been feeling a little off for the past few days, but today I had a little edible and a whole box of little caffeine-infused chocolates before I was forced to leave the house for a hair appointment and now I feel ready to CONQUER THE WORLD. Funny how that works.

I finally finished playing Persona 3 Reload today, and while I do love a Persona game, I am so very pleased that it’s finally DONE. All done. Over. New Game+? No, no thank you. I’m done.
