His name is Ranboo and his channel is incomprehensible to me because I am an Internet Old. She is cosplaying his character from Generation Loss which was this three part livestreamed choose your own adventure horror movie.

I'm a full Internet Relic.

My MiL came upstairs and said, "I have a huge favor to ask..."

Me: "Uh huh."

MiL: "Can you trim my hair and take a couple inches off?

Me: "No. I can't do that now. Try Supercuts."

Wow, from you, well I'd feel fully rebuffed. But I haven't been coming back like a cold sore, either, of course. Great Clips does mine.

Me: "No. I can't do that now. Try Supercuts."

Boundary setting FTW.

I was really close to a flat "No" before I decided to ameliorate it.

Internally it was like, "No! Ewww! No!"

Aeryn is at Vidcon this weekend with Ethan, so Dylan and I are on our own and he has decided he wants to make beef Wellington tonight. I talked him out of a full size roast and so instead we have two filet mignons (filets mignon?) ready to be wrapped in mushrooms, prosciutto, and puff pastry.

A is over the moon because her cosplay was well received by a gaggle of other teenagers who are fans of the same youtuber she is dressed up as and now they are all besties and have a group chat.

I love all of this! I have never felt older than few years ago when I asked my friend who her daughter was for Halloween, and it was a YouTuber I had never heard of.

I got the shot! Wooooo!

MiL is leaving today

I skipped over this piece of good news earlier but meant to say, I hope her departure is even more friendly to your blood pressure than the kale.

I can hear her outside talking to the neighbor. She said she was going to leave at 11, dangit!

A brief litany of rude, weird and inappropriate things she said on this trip:

"There are a lot of things I didn't like about your marriage with Jacqueline but I do appreciate that you made her smile."

"Obviously, among the kids [referring to her own three children], T.J. and Lukas have the best marriage."

Her: "I haven't heard from Judy [her sister, not my sister also named Judy] since Jacqueline passed."
Me: "Oh, well, she's contacted me a few times."
Her: "That's because Judy always goes for the men!"

Mil: [shit talking my SiL Angela as usual]
Me: "Well, I had a great time with Angela. I'm always happy to see her."
MiL: "That's because Angela always goes for the men!"

Her: "Well, you know, George [her nephew] is just so unbelievably handsome."
Me: "He is."
Her: "I was telling Elene [George's mother, her SiL] 'Can you imagine what it was like for his wife to look up and see that face while they were having sex?"

ETA: My favorite bit of all-time Narcissism is that she had to gall to say, several times, "I just have to get used to the fact that I'm alone in my family."

This after she has moved from Reno to Portland to be with Chris and Angela and their kids AND her other son, Lukas, and his husband, TJ have sold their house in CT to move to Portland to be nearer to her. Literally she has her whole family pulled into her stupid little orbit.

Anyway, she is now gone.
