Full House of the Dragon

I woke up feeling like refried ass. Body aches, the whole thing. Covid/ flu/ rsv negative. Anyone else have some kind of mutant cold?

In a different, more perfect world, Bourdain and Dine With Kent are collaborating.

What sticks out to me about political ghouls who won't retire is RETIREMENT IS MY GREATEST WISH. I've been a breadwinner/ wife/ mom forever and I love my family but I am ready. How can anyone who is rich NOT want to just...exist? Hang with family? Travel? Privilege is wasted on so many people.

I just saw the "kiss my male bestie to see what happens" trend videos and y'all watch out, that is how I got a whole ass husband.

Since we all loved The Last Kingdom so much I am reading the Saxon Stories and I don't know if I like Book Uhtred. It is pretty funny that he's grumpy pretty much all the time.

This is a tough one, but probably collards. The ones I make myself.

Oh man. I think "this is your brain on drugs" maybe had more reach/ was more popular overall, but "I learned it from watching you" is the one we repeat at home.

I'm under the weather and sometimes that means I crave junk food. I got McD's for lunch. Sallie Dawg LOVES fries. Then a little later, in comes kiddo with...McDs. Sallie had the best day ever.

And a new post of the human we created. (She's stated she doesn't mind if I post.) West End, London, this summer, Phantom. She's a theatre kid through and through. We are still so grateful for this family trip.

Will add that we are about to send this one to college and @brocktoon.bsky.social has been a stellar father.

Maga BBQ place deciding to have a location in downtown Durham certainly is a choice.

This day in 1992. Kiddo is eating up Twin Peaks with her dad for their David Lynch journey. Maybe Gen X movie night next...this and Reality Bites? Kids these days will never get Bridget Fonda "not caring if he calls" with the landline phone cord all stretched out so she can hear it on the patio.

I am the Grocery Whisperer. A dude came up to me today and sheepishly asked me about red wine vinegar. Then he proclaimed, "Oh! Here it is!" I had to explain that it was Kraft red wine vinaigrette. Don't worry, I helped him. This keeps happening to me. I will let you guess the demographic.

People don't like when you point out that a white liberal feminist icon was a CIA plant, who knew

Photos of X Files build, which has earned a permanent spot on display even in our small space. Y'all, they included the pencils in the ceiling.

Took the kid out to Waraji for beginning of senior year, and also because I needed eel. Locals, go get their new bone marrow app. It's seriously good.

Kiddo and I have been watching Last Kingdom outtakes and BTS videos and I want to be friends with the whole cast, but especially Eliza Butterworth. Yes, Aelswith. She's hilarious.

I am not okay, shut everything down

I am less okay than I thought I would be. Time sure is wild.

There was a car with hazard lights on as I went to the grocery store earlier. I went around. He had the door open and was urgently combing his long blond hair upside down. I hope he's OK and what the fuck

Can confirm. My husband is a menace.

Like cmon y'all the northern end of the Appalachian mountains is the Outer Hebrides. What we know as mountain tops were the bottoms of the valleys when they were young. Their age is fathomless, lay some respect on their name.

I like Pattinson, just a weirdo who can act and do whatever

Kiddo finished her 3 week conservatory at Burning Coal and was excellent in Newsies! Theatre really seems to be her happy place.

I have had easier times getting a toddler to sleep than this beast. Kept smacking me for more pets, finally sighed and settled all pouty. Love her all the same.
