I'm watching The Dropout and I love the one Walgreen's guy who just eats food while he looks like he thinks the meeting taking place around him is hilarious.

Go to Kohl's to use my $40 Kohl's cash, earn $50 Kohl's cash to use next week. 😆 (I had to replace my cordless vac I broke cleaning the garage a few weeks ago, so it's fine, just makes me laugh at the endless cycle.)

I am a relatively solitary-leaning person, and have been making friends on the internet for thirty years - sometimes I forget that it's actually nice to talk to people out loud or (on video) face to face.

Making this for dinner - the marinade for the tofu tasted great, and I mixed the dressing with the chickpeas so they can marinate for a while. Tofu is in the oven so I will report back!! www.lazycatkitchen.com/greek-bowls-...

After telling my dad that Perry Mason (the old TV show) is in the Yuletide tagset (I have explained YT before so he knows what it is): Dad: someone should ask for a story that uses as many PM episode tropes as possible, all in one, just for the hilarity Me: that sounds fun enough I might ask for it

not gonna lie, my lack of desire to write anything the last few months has been bumming me out, but the Yuletide tagset is a complete delight of a thousand things I am into so I am tentatively excited about words again

I looked at that Amazon about you page that everyone is posting about and it's very skewed by the fact that I'm always ordering stuff for family members 😆 got the cat right, but also thinks we have a dog? Got me here though:

screenshot reading diet and nutrition, likely prefers bakery treats, especially chocolate snack cakes. it's not wrong there.

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.
