This year alone I have thought about about a dozen times that I should quit everything and open a storage facility. They are everywhere but they keep popping up new ones. Off the top of my head I can think of five or six that are within 10 minutes of my house.

When I was with my father on a photo excursion he saw a Sonic and was like a kid. He asked if we could go with childlike wonder in his eyes. Couldn’t say no to that.

I say this often. Usually in front of people who don’t know my sense of humor. Which is fun.

Liz Lemon says “That’s later! Maybe we’ll be dead by then!”

We were putting away laundry and I realized that I wore three different t-shirts with pizza on them (the design, not stains). Then I realized that I have enough shirts with a pizza design to wear every day of the work week. So I’m gonna wear them all one week and see if anyone notices on Zoom.

Every time I watch a legal show or movie and someone objects to something in court I literally have to stop listening and parse what “sustained” and “overruled” means in context of the case and I end up missing the rest of the scene.

Sorry, they told us at work to use AI to write our annual self-evaluation and mine crashed the system. It said I did “too much cool shit” to process.

Everyone talks about Nirvana and grunge how music changed in the 90s but I don’t think enough is said about the hard turn music took in the early 80s. I feel like the 60s/70s blended into each other well, and evolved just as well across popular rock and R&B.

Well, I guess the good thing about my mother not always wearing her hearing aides is that she can’t hear me when I curse so she doesn’t yell at me. I am 45 years old.
