Nice, sj!

Hi Sophia!

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

Speaking of weather, are our left-coast Buffistas okay with the various storms?

Less wind damage in NorCal than last year's storms, but I think more flooding in SoCal this time.

So, maybe I haven’t completely forgotten how to make friends?

I ship it! In a friendship way.

I had plans for this week, and they still exist but they got moved around so that Tuesday is weirdly empty whereas I had it blocked out before. I am futless. (cf. [link]

Every time I think that I am futless (which is pretty often) I remember someone here explaining what it means.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm so sorry about Miley, msbelle.

I am still, thankfully, unscathed by our ... not unseasonable, just rather more dramatic than usual, storms. So far. *Knocks on wood*

  • Remembers she has another PET scan tomorrow* *Knocks on wood for that too*

Fingers crossed for you, Epic!

I don’t know why but I’m having a hard time keeping track of what day of the week it is. I was 100% thinking today was Wednesday and about to text a friend to confirm we are doing trivia, when I read here and remembered it’s Tuesday. Good grief.

Yay making new friend sj!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

The power has been out on our hill in Daly City since Sunday afternoon at 3:30ish -- about 4500 households affected. I braved the first night without power (the same thing happened in January 2023) but when the estimate for return flipped from 8pm last night to 4pm this afternoon, I decided I was done with camping out, and BARTed over to stay with friends in the East Bay. So I woke up this morning warm enough and with my devices charged.

The adventure continues! Further updates as events warrant.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's been chilly and windy here. It's super weird to feel the wall flex behind you in the wind (single-thickness tongue-in-groove).

4 year olds, man. We had a bit of a meltdown (mostly just crying) because I counted... Trying to measure how long he swished his mouthwash and if we were getting closer to 1 minute.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've been tempted by the John Fetterman Body Double t-shirt.

This is a problem I usually have, but today I am getting wrong what week it is. All day long we have been talking about "the second Tuesday of the month" and "week 2" and I've been thinking that's, like, now. It is not.

We had some high winds and flood warnings by me but I the only road closure notices I've seen have been accident related rather than weather. Or maybe accidents caused by weather, who knows? Anyway, it looks like the worst is past for my area and I am fine.
