Casio improved the F-91W and gave us a 40.5 mm watch with Bluetooth and steptracker, for all those kinds of folks. It has a working backlight, a countdown timer, and dual time. But also, I can't stress this enough: over 40 mm. Finally, an F-91W for people who aren't children. Looks great!

A vintage style Casio digital watch on my wrist. Like the iconic F-91W, but noticeably bigger and with more functions.

Ok, I exaggerated. There's also some Polar Diet Birch Beer in there and a Brita water pitcher.

My refrigerator with very little inside of it.

I started off my morning knocking over a full, unopened bottle of red wine that exploded next to the refrigerator, so I just had to mop the kitchen floor—including having to move the fridge to clean under it.

British people need to come up with a better response to Americans not pronouncing the H in 'herb' than just "oi mate there's a HAYTCH in there!" Pronounce hour and honour for me. Go ahead, do it, I dare you. I DARE YOU. OPEN THE DOOR AND PRONOUNCE HOUR AND HONOUR FOR ME!

I mean, fair enough, but this is kind of a trite observation. How many people are in such a bubble that excludes knowledge of Mozart's operas or the goth stylings of The Sisters of Mercy? We all live in such kinds of bubbles of pop culture knowledge, what exactly is the utility of such observations?

Someone posting:

"well I don't have a TV or a radio so it's not surprising I haven't heard the song"
You live in a bubble. What you're describing is a self-curated bubble. If you haven't heard the song that's been no. 1 on the charts for 23 weeks, you live in a bubble and you should probably be aware of that.

About half of it is in Irish. I did a bit of a translation of my own, but I don't speak Irish, so buyer beware. There are a few things I'm not 100% sure about.

English Translation:
Craving for your nose I've got something for that
I've got a sweater for you 'cause it's cold at the top
Keep your mouth shut, never know when there's a rat
Take a sale, make a sound when you see there's a cop

Mo Chara (the artist’s stage name) walks in, tell me did I hit you
But I don't have a clue who you are or what's your craic (what’s your deal)?
The king is back on the bag, it's a fact
Had some time to relax
I'm back
Give it stacks
Seen your text, did yas all miss me?
I haven't been on the road of the falls for a while, busy
I've eaten, I've gone to a different city
But tonight back dancing, shimmy
There's a new person in me
Down the local (pub or bar), feeling social, got notions
A couple of pints in me and a pocket fulla potions
Homecoming for the messiah, I'm tryna get stocious
And exaggerate all my stories, coke's braggadocious
My back in the face of the wall cos I'm paro (paranoid)
Think I'm top dog tonight, I'll have the fear tomorrow
Until then I've got more beer to swallow
Who wants to hear me name-drop and pick it up from the ground?

Craving for your nose I've got something for that
I've got a sweater for you 'cause it's cold at the top
Keep your mouth shut, never know when there's a rat
Take a sale, make a sound when you see there's a cop

First stop, we'll make a recce (a visit) to the little house
To find out who's here, who's not
Oh, look at me Mo Chara at the table already with a couple pints of Guinness, whiskey
Sweet
No problem, split the G
Two more baby double G's
We're going home I promise you my heart
Before that get the bag, get the key
First you and then me
How the night changes
A look at her we won't be here for long
Reassured her, yes, no bother

English Translation:

Things to do tomorrow
I don't want to be rough
But that's the hardest thing about Ard na Bhfeá (a famous Irish-speaking neighbourhood in Belfast)
There doesn't have to be a cause or a reason
Partying all the time
Drinks at the door, bangs at night
We won't be going to bed
This happens every time we go out
Kitchen philosopher, but nobody is listening
I fill them in the local lore
The white snuff (cocaine) is Michelin (it’s top notch)

Craving for your nose I've got something for that
I have a sweater for you 'cause it's cold at the top
Keep your mouth shut, never know when there's a rat
Take a sell, make a sound when you see there's a cop

I've got a pep in my step
Showing off, naming all the famous people I've met
They'll be jealous
They'll be upset
I'm so full of myself, I'm so full of shit
Smiling all the way through the pain
I'll tell you one of my stories, then I'll tell you again
My new best mate, but I forget your name
Because I only listen to myself

He winked at me he gave a wink
I know very well what that is, that's another drink at least
No going to bed, that's the plain truth
There's evidence for a very long wild night
So make way for the sly leader
The same wise gentleman who always buys
Second stop at the dog's house
My middle-sized bed
I'm happy to be home when the bag is finished

Craving for your nose I've got something for that
I've got a sweater for you 'cause it's cold at the top
Keep your mouth shut, never know when there's a rat
Take a sale, make a sound when you see there's a cop

YouTube occasionally thinks I'm a man due to my watch collection. Because of this, I have been introduced to the "everyday carry" community. They carry more than I do in my handbag, so maybe I *am* more traditionally masculine than this community and deserve to see male-oriented videos.

Rapunzel everyday carries things in her handbag, just as I do.

What does it say about Liberty University that they want to hire adjuncts at a measly $800 per credit hour to be music education dissertation committee chairs? And you need us to have a "biblically informed Christian worldview"? How about a biblically informed salary, cheapskates?

A job posting for Liberty University as per my post. The job description says, "Adjuncts are easential to Liberty University's mission of training champions for Christ. It is expected that an adjuct member models a personal commitment to the goals and values of Liberty University, engage in an active commitment to, and experience of, personal spiritual formation within a Biblically informed Christian worldview..."

They also call chips chips, but only when it's with fried fish, otherwise they call them fries. And they call crisps chips, except when it's a certain brand or on the island of Nantucket, where they are called crisps.

@epicciuto.bsky.social I was browsing YouTube shorts and this just randomly popped up and I did a double take! Seems you've been screencapped.

A YouTube short consisting a tweet lifted off of Elizabeth Picciuto's account that says, "Instead of one of the debates, I would be interested to see candidates get five hours to make a monthly budget for a family of four on a $60k income, including a specific place to rent, an actual grocery list, transportation, utilities, etc."

My New Englander bona fides are coming through. Although I kind of cheated for this because I'm a notorious code-switcher (letting my Welshness come through sometimes), but I answered the questions as if I were to code switch into the local dialect.

A dialect map pegging me squarely in New England, saying I talk most like someone from Massachusetts (with Boston and Portland, Maine being closest, though Rhode Island was winning for a while too, which makes sense because I grew up in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and the Worcester and Providence dialects are notoriously similar).

It's always nice to look into my accounts and see that I have more money than I thought after having to buy a new car. I guess I'm bad at maths. I like my Hyundai, but I'm still sore about this cost. Why do your continuously variable transmissions cost $8000, Suburu? Are they made out of gold?

It's a cheap bass, but very reliable! I want to get white pickups, too, to complete the apple blossom colour look.
