On the scale of creepy to wet, Hellraiser is: wet as fuck.

If I put the, like, two and a half hour-long pirate/nautical playlist I made on youtube or something, would that be of interest to anyone? I think I can probably find all the tracks I used on there.

It is and remains deeply funny when asshats on facebook take my profile photo, an image I uploaded on purpose and made publicly visible because I like it and it makes me happy, and post it in reply to one of my comments as though it’s some sort of gotcha.

Entering age thirty-five as I intend to continue it: composing poetry in my head, planning to Get Worse, and, yep, still thinking about Songxuexiao.

Today in annoying posts I had to block out of the Yi City tag because someone censored “sex” as “sxx”: if you can’t even bring yourself to say the word SEX, your claim that masturbating “too much” is evidence that someone can’t find fulfilment in other areas of life has negative credibility.

Sometimes I read a fic and I’m like, hm, yes, this was well-written and compelling and the smut was hot. I don’t think I know who these characters are though. This is someone’s original fiction with the serial numbers pasted on.

Alex has been playing Dredge, which means that all day I've been periodically hearing from the other room some combination of 1. a relieved exhale 2. a quietly hissed "shit" or 3. a low "oh fuck oh fuck I don't like that thing oh fuck not a fan."

Perhaps the most annoying sewing task I have ever attempted to accomplish (which is saying something considering how much I dislike sewing): sewing patches to the outside layer of my jean jacket WITHOUT also sewing them to the lining.

The perils of reading fic where parts of the canon are set in Ottawa: sometimes the hotel where Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are hooking up is the same hotel as the one where your brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner is happening in six days, and you just have to live with that.

The fact that there’s a new grocery place that recently opened near me that has Turkish imports and enables me to get actual decent-quality lokum with pistachios and rose petals… dangerous. Very dangerous.

Me and my favourite coworker were supposed to get some training from the graphics specialist today, so duly we called in to the meeting, waited for her for ten minutes, went to message her, and discovered that when our boss set up the training she had neglected to invite the graphics specialist.

Ottawa house flying a Toronto Blue Jays flag also has a sign up supporting Mark Sutcliffe for mayor, that checks out. This won’t make sense to basically anyone on my feed but I promise it’s highly derogatory.

Thinking about the time I helped a narrative podcast writer come up with a fictional generic and brand name for an in-universe werewolf suppressant medication… that was so much fun I want to do that again.

Drinking leftovers of the (dealcoholized) red wine I bought to cook with from one of my grandma’s fancy cut crystal wine glasses alongside my very mature snack of peanut butter crackers served on a melamine plate decorated with a picture of a lion.

We picked up A WHOLE-ASS ELECTRIC DRUM KIT for free off the street yesterday to give to a friend. It was put outside with a sign that said “free—I have been assured that it works but have not been able to make it make sound.” Yeah. The volume was turned all the way down.

Oh damn guy is playing a Pirates of the Caribbean medley. Relatedly did you know the main Pirates of the Caribbean theme is in 7/8 time and if you’re playing it tuned for band (rather than orchestra) the orchestra part has like SIX FUCKING SHARPS IN IT.

Guy hooked up to an amp playing genuinely quite good violin pieces along with a backing track at the mall entrance across from this bus stop. There is certainly worse nonsense that has occurred on this part of Rideau Street in my day.

Some people judge when seasons start by the solstices and equinoxes. Some people judge by the months. I judge by the first day it really FEELS like the new season. It is the first day of fall in Ottawa and it’s a beautiful one today.

Anyway. Everyone get your damn vaccines. Stay boosted. Practice safe sex. Get your flu shots annually. Protect your ill, elderly, infant, allergic, and immunocompromised community members who can’t get vaccines or build effective immune responses. And mask up. You can always start again.

One of my colleagues caught something over the weekend from her daughter who’s back in school. She’s been referring to it as “a cold.” She was laid up all weekend, took Monday off, was coughing and getting choked up at our meeting on Tuesday, and has been intermittently taking time off all week.
