Damnit, got paint matched and mixed and no fucking way is that a match. Too late to go back tonight.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had strawberry shortcake for dinner. Just mass quantities of strawberry shortcake. It was glorious.
(The farm was selling strawberries $7 for one quart, $10 for three quarts, AND I had whipping cream in the fridge already.)

Our wings are not tired.
Mmmm. Strawberries.
My son just picked up juice for his vape and it was strawberry shortcake. One of the pluses of doing vape instead of cigarettes is the vast assortment of flavors.

New-to-me show on PBS tonight -- a black jazz band in England in the 30s, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew Goode, ASH, John Goodman -- it's fun so far.

I saw a bit of it but was too busy to focus. Will have to catch repeats.
Am having the silliest, sweetest 'argument' on nextdoor messenger. So last winter, with the storms, I put together a thread for people who needed digging out but who wouldn't be able to pay. This one dude really stepped up. He's a little odd, but was a machine and has been picking up odd jobs around the hood ever since. Anyway, his mother is in hospice and the bills are overwhelming and he's been asking for work. While I have work (painting) I'm particular about doing it myself, but wanted to help him and so asked if he needed help with anything in particular.They were out of catfood. So I bought catfood. And now we're debating whether he can pay me back. I'm all, you did it this winter, damnit. And he's 'but I was just being neighborly!' And I'm like, AND SO AM I! Heh. I love my hood.

Always Anti-fascist!
I wouldn't mind getting more surprises. My mother hates that stuff.(Also, practical jokes...her ex-bf wanted to pull one on her and I was nice and said "Hell no, not ever)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got home after an 85 hour work week. Exchanging pleasantries with Patti LuPone is part of my life now.

I hate practical jokes too, or at least most of them. Certain kinds of joke that are more theater than classic practical joke I don't mind. For example, I once saw a clip from Candid Camera where someone was told that a butcher shop had the freshest beef in town. So the customer enters the butcher shop and the butcher brings out a live cow with cuts of meat stenciled in appropriate places on its body. I think the customers was Tim Conway, who instantly guessed he was on Candid Camera. Now that I think about it that was more performance art than a classic practical joke . Most practical jokes have a victim...
