Welp. I tried. Won't be quitting my day job to work in a cafe anytime soon.

My car is dying. It's lasted 2 years longer than I expected when I got it, but I still ain't ready to pick one. And we are supposed to be buying a new car for the lady right now. And all the advice I am getting amounts to "spend more money". I ain't ready to spend $70k on a car.

That Samara Joy show was heavenly. My only regret is that it was not long enough. I will be adding that live album to my collection next month.

How did we go from "a little too hot" to "freezing somehow" without more nice days in between? I needed at least 3 weeks in the 70s

what this list makes clear is that I don't actually watch much "prestige" tv

I bought a 100% merino wool t-shirt, to see if it could be a wardrobe upgrade and.... this thing looks exactly like a regular cotton poly blend t-shirt, except it cost 3x as much. I think they got me.

The Gentlemen, S2 E6 "The Bells of San Domenico". My mouth fell open at the end of the episode. Heel turn coming.

I wanted a cheeseburger, but I said to myself: no, eat the food we have in the house. Found these in the freezer. And now look at this.

Netflix emailed me to continue watching "The Gentlemen", because I haven't watched tv in two days. Feels like a threat. Like "if you don't finish this show right now, we'll cancel it like we do everything else".

This one in particular. The insides are made of steel. Such a satisfying sound.

CVS now has an AI IVR and it's worse than "press 9 to speak to an operator" because you don't know what options it has to offer that you can choose from. AI is good at some things, but this isn't one of them.

I ripped my Old Navy shorts and the replacement cost is over $30. They have lost their minds. I know damn well I didn't pay that much a few months ago.

Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life album cover. A black silhouette of the Statue of Liberty seen in a full side view, superimposed on an oxblood red silhouette of the statue's head, grown, and raised shoulder, on a lighter red background, with an airplane silhouetted at the top.

The Red Hot Ray Brown Trio with Gene Harris and Mickey Roker album cover. Ray is seen in a cropped portrait while playing the bass, his face lit from the side in yellow-orange light. He's got a slight open mouth grin as he works into the groove.
