i really wonder if there's some people in sports league board rooms who are ready to say "you know, we should give the 'jacking off the military' stuff a rest for a while"

call your congressperson and tell them that bassists and other people who have to keep their fingernails short should be allowed to carry knives on planes so they can open oranges without asking for help.

dug out the refrigerator manual and looked up how i should be setting the sliders on the crisper drawers in the fridge, and what i should be putting in each. being an instructions guy is great.

we could get a lower interest rate on the loan for these burritos if we put down a larger down payment, or we can pay points, but that won't go toward the equity in the burritos.

created a grilled cheese sandwich called a "hot stinker". if your child asks for a hot stinker, it's cheddar, habanero jack, and garlic-cheddar. the garlic cheddar smells terrible.

there was a girl i'd drive home from school once in a while and her dad had a 1st gen cougar with flip up headlights. i'd sure like to ask her about that car.

there was that period in the real early 2000s when they named them after artists - klee was one, and the ellington. nothing says "orchestra" to me like a 380 sq ft studio apartment.

saw a movie with a coin operated gas meter. they've come up in books i've read from time to time, but i think it's the first time i saw one in a movie. i was thrilled, to put it mildly.

lay down some grey flooring and put up a couple of neon signs that say "good vibes only" and "rise and grind" and call it "a quiet retreat nestled in an overlooked pocket of the city". it will be so busy you won't have a chance to hose it out between bookings.

we're at the 3/4 pole of bean year. i took some time away from it when i had a sick tummy, but rice and lentils with sauteed chard or kale has been a favorite dish lately, just with some sherry vinegar. good way to eat more greens.

it used to be easy and pretty cheap to buy an ad on exactly one building's elevators for one day. when i got annoyed with someone, i'd put an ad in their building with their picture that said something like "congratulations on 3rd place in the county fair kielbasa eating contest"

in the 2016 movie "rosalie blum", the titular character has these polish pottery mugs, mismatched. i also have some, also mismatched. i think it's supposed to convey a bohemian easy-going-ness, but it's just very hard to find the same mug design twice. good movie, kind of amelie-ish.

there's a bunch of these guys in the 50s and 60s that seemed to just be background actors in tv shows, that guy i remember just because of his name. street scenes are so empty these days - gotta be a seriously lucky s.o.b. to make a buck being cast as "townsman" or "pedestrian"
