My future mother in law sent our no-way-anyone-buys-this registry gift, so we have an espresso machine and will be unstoppable from here on out. We got home around 7:30 tonight which was the first time I had a moment to set it up. And yes, I made a latte. And yes, I am now Supercharged and Awake.

I know I've been looking at the computer too long, becuase I just read an email subject like as "$400k turkey in [town name]" and was utterly befuddled. Turnkey. A *turnkey* home.

BTW I get at least 3 calls/week from their clients, and do not answer. It's my personal fucking cell phone, & if they cared about continuity of service they would've given me a work one. But who they'd give THAT to I can't say, because I have it from a reliable source that they won't replace me.

Our wedding centerpieces are: bundles of books, jack-o-lanterns, dried flowers in antique glass bottles, little art bits and bobs, warty squash, and candles. Tonight, I got all the bottles wrapped in ribbon with little wax seals on the fronts. The seals, of course, are bees.

I hate generative AI with a passion. But if you see a nonprofit or a group in your area that is actually DOING GOOD, using AI to make a flyer or a graphic online.... maybe chill the fuck out. If you're so mad about it, maybe see if you or a friend can volunteer to help them with making materials.

Also I fucking HATE the stock tank pool

Tell me more


I don’t want to do it anymore and I just want to join a swim club. The end You are welcome to try to fix it but I’m done I’m not doing a single thing more to it 

I can try 

The new filter a pain in the ass?

Sorry had to get in the shower and scream 

It won’t get up to pressure and it’s probably the hose fittings and I just can’t be fucked to tighten this shit anymore my wrists hurt 

I took a shower, drank a glass of wine, and processed my rage. Tightened two screws and now the filter works

I got my Invisalign trays today. I got my first filling ever in my life in March and have not been able to stop touching it with my tongue ever since. I should’ve know. Plastic molded to my teeth would be… problematic. I am suffering and so is my gag reflex.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Loved the idiotic, long, self-aggrandizing whine fest CEO of my former workplace sent me after in response to my resignation letter in which I harshly outlined the reasons I was leaving. Made sure to brag he didn’t fire anyone over COVID, insisted he’s a good business guy with a good business brain.

Let's see. I've worked at my job for almost exactly 4 yrs. This role was a career change and jump up for me by about $12k a year, salary-wise. I desperately needed it. Starting salary was not a lot as a single mom in a city, but it was enough when I added in child support. I was thrilled to get it.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

Man, some days... Found out that a dear old coworker died last night. She was undergoing cancer treatment, but had not indicated things were in any way precarious - I don't know what happened. And also found out that a fandom mainstay, cesare/almostnever has also passed. It's all very unfair.

Guys I got a spray tan just to try it, just to see if I want to do something very lowkey and subtle for wedding time, you know, for fun. Uhhhh.... I got the lightest shade. I don't look orange or bad or anything but the difference in the spray tanned area and the non-spray tanned area is SHOCKING.

I took Alex with me to the nail salon so he could get a pedicure while I got my nails done. I could hear him chatting away to the technician and other people but I have gone to the same nail lady for most of a year so I was busy yapping with her.

My daughter just saw me leave the bathroom after a very long bath, book in hand, and asked me if I had been READING in the BATH. I confirmed this, and she was AMAZED to learn this was an option. Go forth, my child. Self care to the max.
