Having one of those days where I wonder why I bother. Comparing money spent and effort expended to the results in book sales, I should probably just retire.

Have found a horror movie where Eric Estrada plays a priest. I had no idea it wasn't a comedy, since he plays every scene like he's smouldering Father What-a-waste.

Looking into elder care in Florida. It costs exactly the same to get a visiting caregiver for 15 minutes as it does to get a dog walker. But the care giver will let you go to the bathroom inside.

Why is this so hard to figure out. They were OK with ruining her life. Didn't think twice about that. She is entitled to ruin theirs.

Is running The Patriot on BBC America an example of British irony?

Have launched my most successful ad ever on Meta! It outperforms all of my other ads! 30% of people click through to the project! None of them has followed it. No one wants this book. But damn. Look at the ad.

Flavor of the day at Kopp's Custard in Milwaukee is Bienenstich kuchen. If you are not in Milwaukee? It might not be too late to get on a plane.

One of my streaming services has added Murder at the Gallop. I will be watching the hell out of it and will be deeply disappointed if they don't have the other Margaret Rutherford Miss Marples.

The cat is fed and I am sitting in the recliner, ready to provide the appropriately positioned lap for the post meal, cat digestion, purr session. The rest of my day is unimportant. My true job and duty is to serve the cat.

Tiktok will now show you the exact moment people lose interest in you. That could save a lot of time if it translated to real life conversations.

I’m a character in a book I’ve never read. I’m engaged to a man I never met. And I’m supposed to fight the king of the vampires while wearing a corset. Find me on Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

I just got into a shouting match with an AI assistant. Will this margarita help? Probably not. But I don't think it will do any harm.

not for nothing but of all the Confirmation classes I taught in the early aughts, one of the biggest hits was a session on Revelations it was basically "no we don't believe in the Rapture" / "the Left Behind books are trash" / "if a Catholic starts talking End Times shit to you, run"

I spent fifteen minutes researching the history of the cork screw for a historical book, only to remember that my bottle of champagne wouldn't need one.
