When I was *very* small my dad watched Soylent Green on TV. The only video I remember is flowers. But the audio “the scoops are coming!”and “Soylent Green is people” lives in my head today. Means I never would try that protein drink Soylent and am very wary of Tr*mp’s imported “mystery meat.”

I assume that is “RISING FROM THE GRAVE.” But are we talking like Dracula or Jesus? I’m assuming the former.

Kid 1.0 & I saw The Strokes last night. It’s great to see a band that’s been around a while has added younger fans through more than parents. Really wide age range. Sat by some older-teen boys who were as enthusiastic as I’ve ever seen in a seating area. (One in a Lin Knicks jersey.)

Incredibly disappointed in the NYT. (I know, I know: why am I still reading them at all? This is one of those days I wonder why I pay them even $8/month.) That headline does not begin to tell the story here, and journalists should do the work to figure it out. Do better.

Been a minute since I’d been to pay my respects, since I didn’t make it for the 30-yr anniversary. But Kid 2.0 and I were in the neighborhood today, so I took her to see Kurt’s bench. Lot more elaborate than it used to be. Still miss him.

I bought a plush peanut bag charm (faux Jellycat). Kid 2.0 asked his name; I said “Chad.” Since Chad means something very different to kids, I had to explain the 2000 US presidential election. Anyway, here is (Hanging) Chad.

Serious question: is everyone editing the NYT today still drunk from the Knicks’ celebration or are they too hungover to care about reading?

I added “chips” to my Build-a-Bear Mint-Chococat. (Also a custom mint chocolate scent.) Must have come out good because now *both* kids want me to do theirs too. 😂 (It does reduce the offputting weird stare the full-size green Choco has…)

“Lucky” for many Americans, they never step foot out of the country, so they have NO idea how craptacular many things are in the US. They can live in the myth of the “Greatest Country on Earth,” never knowing how primitive our banking system is, or how our foods lack normal flavor and color, or …

Mindless distraction for Thursday. We “needed” a small holiday inflatable for the early months of the year but couldn’t find anything we liked. So we got a pastel skeleton Hello Kitty and have been dressing her to fit the holiday of the month. Here’s Valentine’s Day and St. Paddy’s. Easter up next…
