Hubs and I are watching BtVS "Becoming" tonight, because life is hard and I have to convince myself that when the world asks, "What's left," I still have an answer.

Great Emmy Awards tonight. I maybe think Keri Russell and Sterling K. Brown were robbed a little, but only a little. The competition in all of the acting categories was stiff.

Aw. I hope she protects the wee one's privacy, but I also want to see pictures and know the baby's name, which won't be, but ought to be: Goo Goo Gaga. Enjoy Baby Gaga, Lady Gaga.

I'm not even sure how to word this question. Back in the day, another blogging platform sprang off of LiveJournal. What was it called? Was it Vox? (I know Vox is now a "news" website, but wasn't there some journal-y thing named "Vox" before it?)

Couldn't decide what to watch tonight, so DH & I settled on a Veronica Mars rewatch. We started with S01.E04, because we've seen it all so much. Love this cast. They're ALL so good. In retrospect, it's no surprise Amanda Seyfried turned out to be a massive star. #VM #VeronicaMars #VMars

We spent 4 hours going thru mom's paperwork hoard (no, really), and bills, and 1 of those hours was us writing out 2 checks. It sounds inconsequential, but I'm hopeful this was actually the breakthrough (and that as we repeat it every 2 weeks, it will get easier). She let us help her. That's huge.

In memory of Tim Curry, please enjoy "Tim Curry Visits the Mall," aka "That'll Give You, Er, Bees," aka "That'll Give You Bees," aka "OMGPONIES TIM CURRY." metaquotes.livejournal.com/5989568.html I hate this timeline. Someone needs to smash an amulet and release us from it. #thatllgiveyoubees
Screenshot of text reads:

Tim Curry visits the mall...
...and ame_chan had the good luck to be working in the store he visited.

Sort of.

I rush out of the office and notice "guy in a grey sweatsuit." and sorta "floomph" against the counter fanning myself with a piece of paper and say, "Wow. Ya ever have one of those days?"

And then the penny drops, OMGPONIES TIM CURRY IN MY STORE TIM CURRY OMG.

And he says, "OH indeed."

In that voice.

And I lose all power of thought and speech and I'm just, er, buh. Can't talk. Standing in the store, trying not to have a hyperventilating fangirl moment. Can't. Talk. Forget sampling balsamic vinegar or you know, actually selling to him. TO OMGTIMCURRY. Who TALKED to me. Tim Curry talked to me and he has Voice and I'll be in my bunk and.... *floppy arms* [Story continues in next screenshot.]

Source: https://metaquotes.livejournal.com/5989568.html[Story continued from previous image] Screenshot of text reads:

So he walks over to our display of honey body balms and other wonderful botanicals, and is examining them and I walk over to him, intending to say, "Ah, yes. These wonderful honey botanicals, so fragrant, made by nuns! When we uncap the bottles and spritz the store, they are so fragrant that bees fly into the store looking for the source of the smell. Reallywonderful stuff Mr. OMGPONIES Curry."

What came out of my mouth was, "That'll give you, er, bees."

"That'll GIVE YOU BEES." ya'll. I said. To OMGTIMCURRY. Bees.

He left the store rather rapidly. At which point, I walked behind the counter and sank onto my knees out of sight of the store and was muttering and laughing rather hysterically. Like ya do. After a horrible bee incident.

"BEES." *smacks head*

"FUckin BEES." *smack"

"TIM CURRY." *smack*

Open letter @imdb.bsky.social: please add a music videos tab, so that music vids don't overwhelm someone's acting credits. E.g. I just tried to find Dolly Parton's film and TV credits beyond 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias, and Best Little W-House, however music vid credits overwhelm her "Actress" section.

Fun(?) fact: Ms. Graham's given name is "Darlene," but she spells it Darline, because that's how Lindsey taught her to spell it. Lindsey was nine years older than his sister, so presumably, that was the intentional choice of a teen, rather than a little boy's mistake.

You know what's sad? I don't even care how much these criminals enrich themselves. I just want them gone. Like -- I don't even care if we eventually make them pay. I just... we're in a hole. I want to stop digging. I want them rendered irrelevant.

The week started with the death of my childhood best friend, and ended with a dear cousin suffering a serious stroke. We put on The Big Chill, at my suggestion, which was probably not the brightest choice in retrospect. DH saw me in tears and suggested we change it, but I'm leaning into the wallow.

I sang "This Is the Song that Doesn't End," for my (now 30-year-old, then) 4-year-year old, who freaked out so bad, I had to create an ending on the fly, so I tweaked the end of "The Other Day I Met a Bear." His brother called him out, and that's how I found @enbrown.bsky.social's post.
Screenshot of group text. First text is Elizabeth Nolan Brown's Bluesky post which reads: "My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

Second text from Kid #3 reads: "Isn't this literally [Kid #1's name redacted]"

Third text from Kid #1 reads: "He’s right"Black text on white background reads:

This the end.
There is no more.
This is the end.
There is no more.

If this is real, Senator Mitch McConnell should call Governor Andy Beshear, and update him on his progress. If Gov. Beshear doesn't hear from him, he should plan to visit the senior US Senator from his state, and inquire after his health.

Yes. COINCIDENTALLY, I was always "sick" that day, and my little town was usually too short-staffed to follow up. I think that one year they did follow up, but the school nurse did the exam in her office, which felt like much less of a violation.

Hub just went to bed before me, so I said, "I love you." That's nothing new in 30+ years. But I started thinking about it — this drive to say, "I love you," to people who know we love them. And? I think it might be humanity's last redeeming quality. I do love him. I want him to know it, if I die.

Having finished all of #TheBear, including season 5 which dropped last night, I just want to give a shoutout to Boston native Ayo Edebiri, who's not on here. She's lovely. She's talented. She breathed incredible life into Sydney Adamu, and I cannot wait to see what she does next. #TheBearSeasonFive
The Bear season five key art from FX/Hulu/Disney. The poster features a large (left-facing from our perspective) profile of Carmen Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White). Over it are laid photos of (top to bottom/left to right) Ayo Edebiri as Sydney; Ebon Moss-Bachrach (as Richie); Matty Matheson (as Neil Fak); Lionel Boyce (as Marcus); Liza Colón-Zayas (as Tina); Abby Elliott (as Sugar/Natalie).

DH & I have been having something of a Giles wake tonight (watching Giles-centric, or Giles special episodes of Buffy). My word. Anthony Stewart Head could sing. Also, and only slightly related, I'm a little offended, that his known name is now Anthony Head. He is ASH, dammit. He has a (full) name.
