$500 refrigerator parts and labor. Better than $1000-2400 for a new one.

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Oooooh I want to see this so much.

I’m 25 minutes early for my showing. First time in a theater since Before! So far no one else is in the auditorium, so that’s nice. Walking through the mall and being amongst the other customers in the lobby was weird but ok. The mall now has a tattoo parlor and what looks like a go kart course. I feel like a more knowledgeable and insightful person would be able to draw a lot of interesting conclusions from the differences between walking-through-the-mall-before-the-movie now and 30-40 years ago.

Congrats on the fridge repair, msbelle!

I hope it keeps mild, Sheryl. Did you have holiday plans?

I have a third viewing of EEAaW tonight. Woo!

I was sharing pieces from the store with Ple as we were there. Prompting her to gasp "Furniture porn! What is this place?"

You were torturing me with beaaaaaautiful thing! Torturing!

Poor L lost the bulk of her spring break (and her birthday) to... a cold. Not, thank goodness, COVID (multiple negative tests, including PCR, and same for the person who she caught it from), just a damn cold, but apparently, if you haven't had one for a few years, they hit like a damn truck. So that's been fun. (She said this morning that she feels like she's been speedrunning being sick. Went from meh to miserable Tuesday, better than meh to miserable with a slightly damp cough yesterday, and is now at "well, the cough is better and the fever's pretty much gone, but now my nose is stuffy AF" stage.

Aw, bummer! Though, glad all tests were negative.

We were supposed to go to my MIL's for the first seder, but now Gary's going to pick up food from her and I guess we do a Zoom seder.

Boo colds! I did multiple covid tests and I think I just had a mild allergy to east coast spring, and even that little bit was enough to remind me I hate being sick and have not missed it these past two years!

I am on my way to a soccer game but it is collllld out!

Enjoy the movie t!

Msbelle, $500 still sucks though. Sorry.

I am glad Toddson is being looked after, but it is scary as a singleton who is aging.

Man, I was having this conversation with one of my freshman advisees recently, about how figuring out what style writing the professor is looking for can be half the battle, and there is no good way to know! Sucks.

There is a way! It is called a rubric! It is called Instructional Design. Although I would not be lying if I said that my strength as a student was figuring out which professors liked word vomit and which professors like good citations! But it is my job helping professors figure this out.

ETA: you can’t take away subjectivity, but it you see someone give more weight to “original thought” than proper citation, at least you can make a guess.

...it is scary as a singleton who is aging.

Yeah.
