GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Have some chilorio simmering in the oven, watching the Brewers and Padres battle it out in the best series so far, going to make some bowls with little cats on them, thinking about how the new Murderbot book has dropped me in the middle of the story. 000
GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The two teams I am now cheering for most in the post season are facing each other. I guess I am cheering for the Brewers the most, but sigh. 000

GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You probably don't need any more suggestions, but we have continued to talk about this question in the family, and wonder if the first few Adrian Mole books might fit the bill as well. They are quite funny. 010
GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I just canvassed the family, and they like all the suggestions made here but further suggested the Discworld books and some of Mary Roach's are very funny (especially the space one) but not sure they would fall under memoir. 100

GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Today we watch the Blue Jays, make crabapple jelly, roll out some clay, do some laundry, make some arepas, and read Dungeon Crawler Carl. 132
GentlyFalling @gentlyfalling1.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Sometimes it is hard to remember those things, so this exercise is always good. I booked a group show at the art gallery for myself and two friends - we have four years to get ready, but it was a big commitment. 120
