Never tried an infusion! I keep a big patch of goldenrod in a little section of my yard.

This is the best bonus I've gotten since my happy meal came with toy hotcakes that transformed into a little robot.

This is actually just the tip of the "Too read" iceberg, maybe another 20 books from series I've started and about 60 old sci-fi books I inherited with names like "The Space Egg" and "The Stars are Ours!" from long dead publishers.

Yes! It's gone into my little vocab notebook I keep. The first insult to make it.

Since books are sexy, here's my current reading list. It's gifts from friends and recommendations and me revisiting some childhood reads. Just finished my current fantasy book so time to select a new one.
My Christmas Godzilla sneaking in on the left, and several books I haven't read yet or haven't read since I was a teen.

They are also extremely caustic and will burn your skin until they are fried in oil if I remember correctly.

Oh and aeration just breaks up the ground a bit by pulling out little plugs. It's like microtilling.

I think nothing is supposed to grow in a solid homogenous blanket. We are fighting nature for that effect so we have to do unnatural things. Good lawn grasses are domesticated and completely different than their wild counterparts. If I started mowing most of my natives they'd be ugly as hell.

Wait till he discovers what actual armor looked like. He'll have an aneurysm. "These 15th century armorers and their woke agenda!"

I can't imagine anything good is coming out of a group of 50 guys on Snapchat. You don't have that group to chat fantasy football.

I got gak as a kid and this was exciting for like ten minutes and then I was like, oh I actually have no idea what to do with it now that I'm done making fart noises.

Wife and I were on feeld for a few years and what some Dom dudes thought was an ok opener was crazy. Just say hello.

My blind ass thought you tossed the donuts into a smoothy and I was wondering if that would be good or not.... I may try it now though.

Doing a background check and it accused an innocent dude of millions in fraud against NY. The only thing I could find that linked the company I was working with and the fraud company was the presidents had the first name. It will try to find what you search for even if it has to make shit up.

Welcome to the world, you picked kind of a shitty day to come out though. Should I bring it flowers/breakfast?

This time of year, someplace quiet in the Adirondacks. One day to hike into mountains, one day to enjoy, one day to hike back.

The poet in me says we want to touch the stars, even if just once will burn us up. The pessimist in me says those men are assholes and it's not about you, but about how you make those men feel. They could care less about failing you. I'm not a great poet, pretty good pessimist.

Hopefully all the physical activity burns off all the ridiculous food and drink I'd be consuming with this ability.

Having a black cat will gaslight you. Think i see a cat run into my closet. Don't want them in there so I go to hunt it down. Lights on, looking, looking, nothing, just camping gear. "Maybe I just saw things." Hours later she comes slinking out. How?

Yesss! I do all my notes in handwriting, with a fountain pen, because I like the way it feels and writes. You can also buy pretty notebooks. I remember written notes better too. Stuff I type can be like a blackout.

Work computer took 5 minutes to save a PDF. In that time ADHD had me scroll here. Pet a cat. Get up to bother my wife. Eat an entire meal. Forget what I was in the middle of doing.

No! They've taken so much from us. I was handed beers by strangers multiple times on LIR, so it's kinda like a bar car. Fun fact, the New Haven line is partially responsible for me and my wife finally getting together!

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
This was 8 am on a Monday... I later learned day drinking on the LIR was so common it felt encouraged but at the time I was just a baby New Yorker and it was wild to me.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I could write a book. Let's go with a fun train one to stick with the theme: My first day going to NYC on LIR for my new job, only the second day I've ever been to NYC, we pull in to Penn and the guy next to me does the sign of the cross, reaches into his sports coat pulls out a flask and downs it.

I rarely read something that causes my face to contort as I read them, but I could feel my lips trying to pull off my face and my eyebrows trying to drop down to replace them. Fucking terrible.

Took the books I have bought and haven't read yet and stacked them and it is 4 feet tall.... So maybe I need to work on the tower of shame. (Doesn't include the digital stuff.)

I am between books so I'm just gonna stalk this for recommendations (rereading the Hobbit but that feels like it doesn't count).

I spent an hour and a half in a Spirit Halloween and the closest I got to buying anything was a hot dog costume for my dog. Couldn't find XS for him. His sister doesn't wear costumes. Otherwise it was just fun to wander.
Small dog and smaller dog.

... and I just realized this is the perfect gift for a friend so I picked up another book.

Almost died doing it in a bathtub once, I'd have to put away dishes for the counter, cars a little awkward cause I'm a big guy, soooo... chair! Or I could try bathtub again if my partner knew CPR.

You are absolutely right, that is what happened. Like two months ago my wife described hearing someone in her class say they felt their shoulders were too weak and changed the class to work them extra hard. It's out of love.

Lol that's my Doug. I think I had them blended in my memory.

Sometimes when I'm mowing recognize a native plant coming up and mow around it, creating random little patches of growth in my yard. I've been avoiding this aster for about 3 months now and it finally bloomed after falling over. Worth it.
Asters! White flowers that kinda look like an egg with yolk in the middle, and my shadow because I wasn't paying attention while taking the picture.

I did the no front teeth thing when I was like ten, no thanks to that experience again. With some creativity you could probably get your name and it's position to look cool, instead of Times New Roman, 18 point font, dead center.
