iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Despite me scaling up the recipe for the big pot of chicken and wild rice soup, there were, yet again, no leftovers. Let’s see what happens with tonight’s cheeseburger casserole. (Is it a hot dish? Unclear to this non-Midwesterner.)

On the one hand, I just withered into dust. On the other, there are some excellent books here!!

“Do you expect them to narrate the whole tapestry?!” I expect them to give it the old college try, yeah. There are plenty of examples of recordings for large, multifaceted works, from the Sistine Chapel to illuminated manuscripts. It is in fact difficult, but it doesn’t mean you get to skimp.

Yes and one of the best analysis I’ve ever read is on tumblr: “Consider the mathematical fucking improbability: a text that maintains identical sentence complexity across two distinct POV characters…” www.tumblr.com/theao3detect...

I have somehow become a person who listens to sports on the radio while doing something else, and this was a fun listen.

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?

Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

OH has declared the six-quart pot does not hold enough food for dinner for the household. (We're having soup.) (He's right.) So I guess from now on we're hauling out the big Le Creuset for dinner cooking. Or the 15" cast iron pan.

I love this series so much. My introduction to Rien Gray (thanks JP!) and every one is a banger, as the young people say.

One thing that’s better now? Dental care. When I was a kid, dentures were standard at some age. My teeth are not great—no fluoride in well water. My kids? Between fluoride in the city water, electric toothbrushes, and fluoride varnish every six months, their cavities are almost nonexistent.

So damn tired of driving down winding two-lane roads and watching the car in front of me swerve all over the road while the driver holds their phone in their left hand and talks for miles. “I can see you in the driver’s side mirror, asshole!”

I have done shameful alterations on these clothes for College Kid. My grandmother would be so disappointed. But that’s what you get when you need business wear tomorrow and I start working at 6pm. At least it doesn’t look like playing dress up anymore 😭

The text messages and emails would make for a *much* longer list. “Why aren’t you writing, Grace?” “Well, see, I’m the household executive function and by the time I sit down in the evening, I’m fucking exhausted.”

Today’s calls so far: 1) while I’m in a mtg, letting me know they’d arrive shortly 2) while I’m in a mtg, the therapist, advising me to call the rehab center 3) me to the rehab center, who, for the second time this month, has no record of the referral. They promised to call me back later today.

Someone told me the other day that they thought most people were generally nice, and I can’t stop thinking about it. What vastly different life experiences we have had.

For National Radio Day, key facts about radio listeners and the radio industry in the U.S.

Yes and this is relevant, I think: "In 2022, 82% of Americans ages 12 and older listened to terrestrial radio in a given week, according to Nielsen Media Research data"

About eight-in-ten Americans ages 12 and older listen to terrestrial radio in a given week.

My mama used to tell me that there was always someone prettier, thinner, smarter, and richer than me, and while that horrifies some people, truly, she did right by me. Oh, the paths I could have trod and did not by the grace of the humility she insisted on.
