Happy Birthday sj!
And I’ve missed so many other birthdays. Happy Belateds!!
Dogs not sleeping in is bumming me out. I may actually take a nap today. Generally naps are a no for me.
I have people coming over tomorrow so I need to clean and go shop for some food.
I guess I should get up and get going. Farmer’s market, hardware store, and pool are waiting.
Naomi Novik is an asshat? I had not heard this, though I don’t follow book world gossip. Why?
I am still lying in bed but trying to convince myself to go to the fancy bakery and stand in line for fancy treats.
meara-she's not an asshat she's astolat...her fandom name
Phew, that gave me a moment of autocorrect fear!
I'm LOLing.
The fannish drama that almost was.
Happy birthday, sj!
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday sj!
We went to the National Building Museum. They have an area where kids can build with foam blocks of various shapes and sizes.(Including ones that look a bit like Tinkertoys) Mr. S had fun there, as did Gary. Of course, once we got home Mr. S started going wild again.
Ha, ha, ha re: Naomi Novik and asshat. It's like a game of telephone on the board!
Went to a party at a former boss's house today. Knew NO ONE, and it wasn't an especially socially adept crowd, so we said our goodbyes about an hour in and found a restaurant on the way home. Lovely Bayside home, though, and I added an osprey to my bird life list! So, that was a win.
Also, we have a chipmunk in our yard now. Holy hell, is it cute
I did not know Naomi Novak was astolat. I mean, I knew there was a connection, but not the specifics..
I feel weird because I was so scared of TWOP back in the day, and now with podcasts I interract with so many of the OG TWOP people, Sarah D Bunting (sars) in particular because of true crime. I actually talked to her on zoom and I was verklempt! But it is so weird to be like, I feel like I have known you for over 20 years, but I am a lurker. And also I totally understand why TWOP, which is so big, had to be really hard as against natter, but of course natter is what I am here for! But so weird tat 20 years later, my podcasts are authored by the old TWOP crew…. Including NPR and Slate.
Happy birthday, sj!
