Managed to get one thing done. Here's to hoping the second writing thing gets done after a break to make dinner. Seared pork chops with oven roasted potatoes oughtta get on top of something.

Starting my day off by unwillingly rolling out of bed to drive to CVS to get double-vaxxed & ruin my day. At least I get to go get breakfast at Tous les Jours after.

Goat cradles a small gray creature  in his arms, says to hamster “look at this puppy I found. I named him spike” hamster says “that’s a chupacabra. They drink goats’ blood.” Goat holds out his arms, the chupacabra hangs off by its teeth. Goat says “oh. So that’s why Spike’s so bitey.”

When a retail worker asks if you'd like a bag or box, it's a "yes" or "no" question. "That'd be helpful," "if you don't mind," "if you have one," etc. are all unnecessary. Wouldn't offer if I didn't have one – that's just cruel & weird. Some people don't want one, for whatever reason. YES OR NO.

It’s entirely possible to design a curated world where you never encounter Yifftown.jpg: You don’t have a Disney Prime account, you never pause Zootopia at the right moment, you don’t imagine what Judy Hopps smells like. Perhaps there's a deeper reason: Your friends were too embarrassed to repost.

Watching SNL UK back-to-back with the usual version is a letdown. Goddamn does the UK version go weirder & meaner. If nothing else, Weekend Update with Paddy & Ania is perfection.

A football player says "glad you're here in the USA for football season, Junji Ito. Let me show you how to throw a perfect spiral." The football plater throws the ball. Ito is mesmerized. Spirals appear in his eyes and he sweats profusely. We zoom in on his face in an extreme closeup as the intensity of his terror increases.

Related: people often ask "how much did you really lose when the CPB was dissolved?" and the answer is: about $375K annually. So, we have to figure out how to replace that, on top of what we normally had to raise to keep the lights on. It's a challenge.
