It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Our wings are not tired.

By next year, we should be in a house, and Emmett and Kalena will be in this apartment.

That is just so delightful! I love both those visions.

Laura, I'm so sorry, that must be incredibly painful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My Zmayhem-gifted Buffy ornaments have primacy of placement! Buffy guards my tree, with the help of the Scoobies.

And we only have a Drusilla ornament to whisper evil whackadoodle from the tree.

I have made and consumed The Thanksgiving Sandwich, and verily it was good. Great in fact, because instead of gravy there was a layer of mushroom stew. [smek smek..]

And JZ continued Shrimpsgiving when I sauteed some mushrooms, and then reheated the Tacqueria shampies, and then had a side of heirloom tomato drizzled in balsamic, and fresh basil bits all over the plate.

This, after pie for breakfast.

Back at work today after visiting my family yesterday.

I got to listen to story after story about dysfunctional members of my extended family, and the shitty people they associate with. It was like the face-to-face version of doomscrolling; it was all very fascinating to hear, but ultimately left me feeling depressed.

I'm sorry, Tom. That sounds just miserable.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh damn, Sondheim died.
