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

Happy birthday, amyparker!

Looks like we're getting a respite from the rain for a few days.

I fed Matilda dinner after she got off work and I made her watch the 70s screwball comedy "What's Up Doc?" starring Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, and debuting Madaline Kahn. It's a movie I discovered on TV as a kid and it's still incredibly funny. But now it's almost as fascinating to see as time capsule of early 70s San Francisco.

One of my main parasocial places is coming to an end as my two friends that work at the comic book store are leaving. I'm feeling bereft about it but I'll drop by today and distribute some fancy chocolate.

It's one off the linchpins of my city walks, though, and my routine will be fully disrupted. Boo.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry that your friends are leaving and hope that hole will be filled with new friendships soon.

One of my comic store friends will be available for lunch and cocktails, so I'm hoping that can be a friendship that deepens.

And I've successfully launched a new friendship with my Pilates teacher and we've been hanging out periodically out of the studio and that's been really fun.

I fucking love new friendships!

Happy Birthday amyparker!

New friendships themselves are great, it's the awkward process of getting out and finding people to have them with that I dislike.

I was making spinach dip for the family holiday dinner tonight and discovered that the fresh dill I bought for it was covered in wispy mold. There was none to be had at the grocery store nearest me, so I'm making do with dried dill weed flakes and an extra pouch of vegetable soup seasoning. It's not awful, but not up to my usual standard either.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I'm with you, Matt. (And the whole "What happened? Can they do anything?" thing with a new abled person doesn't make it easier, either.) Which would make abled people think "Well, focus on disabled people, then." Which sounds logical, but you do outnumber us, and you know how they say the hometown crowd is the hardest...double that.(also, pretty much that means I always pay. Which can get harder as we go along, because "Better off," doesn't mean "rich", right?) Mom was very generous so I just signed up for a zoom fiction workshop...I have to decide which thing to show by 1/11.
