I’m trying to finish this essay here

A brown brindle dog draped over the picture-taker’s legs. There’s a laptop in the picture-taker’s lap, but dammit, the dog is just too cute for any work to be done right now

Wish I could still knit because if I could, I’d make Austin Abrams’s delightful sheep hat from RESIDENT EVIL

Austin Abrams in the 2026 Resident Evil. He’s on the phone, his head tilted down, so you can see that he’s wearing a mustard yellow knit hat with a pom pom on top. The hat is decorated with an intarsia pattern of sheep, mostly white with black faces and legs, but one that’s black with a white faces

Today is Wet Hot American Summer Day and Texas Chain Saw Massacre Day but most importantly it’s my wedding anniversary. Look at these babies.

Sarah and her husband Josh on their wedding day. Sarah is wearing a long one-shouldered white dress that makes her look like a Greek goddess. Josh is wearing a gray suit with a blue bow tie. They’re both crouched into a squat with their hands in the prayer position, and they look like they just shared a joke with each other that they’re not going to tell you.

Truly wacky temperature forecast for today

Once again, Fridays are for the boys

Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman and Bryan Cranston as Walter White. They’re both suited up in yellow suits, respirators pulled back on top of their heads like hats, each one holding a beer and staring at the camera like it’s a TV screen

Highly recommend being married to my husband

A text message exchange.
Two texts from me:
“There’s a guy in here in a red shirt, overalls, a mustache, and a camo baseball hat”
“Ohio Mario”
Followed by a text from my husband:
“MariOH”

We closed out our time in Pittsburgh by visiting the Westinghouse atom smasher

Sarah and her husband Josh, squatting with their hands pressed together and looking straight at the camera, which is resting on the ground. Behind the two is a giant metal bulb covered in rust and graffiti. It’s maybe thirty feet high? It looks bizarre, definitely a relic of the atomic age.

This is my street this evening

A residential street, flooded well past the sidewalks on both sides. You can’t see the curbs because the water is too deep.

Buckwild PSA on the last page of my paperback

A PSA at the back of a trade paperback book. The headline says “REMEMBER IT DOESN’T GROW ON TREES” above an illustration of a tree branch with three back teardrops labeled “OIL” coming off the branch. Under the illustration is another line that says “Energy conservation—it’s your chance to save America.” The PSA is credited to the Department of Energy, USA, and Ballantine Books

I grew these roses and painted the vase

I loved that family of magazines—Spider especially. I remember liking the little characters that populated the margins of the magazine. They gave vocabulary definitions to the readers but also had their own little story arcs for each issue.

The characters from Spider magazine. Spider (a fuzzy little bug eyed spider), Sonya (a dragonfly), Sam (an orange caterpillar), Miro (a mushroom), Ophelia (a praying mantis), and Thistle (a flea, I think). They’re all hand drawn with ink and colored with watercolors

We’ve hit the time of spring where I turn into the ITYSL motorcycle alien, except instead of getting excited about motorcycles I get excited whenever I see a peony bush
