Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I think I would be anxious trying to navigate a new city without a phone, too! Because in this day and age, I would not have prepped myself with transit maps and best routes to get places and restaurants and, and, and like we had to do in the olden days.

Loving the vicarious travel! I hope you get tickets to the immersion installations you were talking about -- I watched the video. So cool.

I shipped out the box of (largely useless) files, etc. from the client that was giving me such agita last month, so a psychic weight is lifted. Ahhhhh.

It's 26 whole-ass degrees here today. Practically balmy!

Our wings are not tired.

It is a delight to see so many posts while I have been giving my eyes a break! Excuse any blatant typos as the world is still pretty bright.

The explanation for Elon's fascist display is that a person can be both autistic and a fucking Nazi.

Clearly

Suela, you’ve been on my mind these past few days. So enraging. I don’t know who else around here (directly, immediately) impacted, besides possibly flea’s DH, but I’m really sorry for all this painful unnecessary and ultimately destructive bullshit you’re dealing with.

I can't say it better. Complete insanity

I am overjoyed at the Smay trip to Japan. DH has so many wonderful memories from his years there. I look forward to reading many update posts!! Yoki kokai wo!

Warm wishes for all the sub-zero folks. I found the plastic window stuff you tighten up with the hair dryer works pretty well for drafts. I think we are supposed to get into the 40s here, which means iguana drops, which is hysterical, but dangerous since people think they are dead.

Good news: the pituitary adenoma has shrunk. Benign neglect for the win!

Well done, body!

My business warehouse is now in an evacuation warning zone. We just told the folks working there to get the heck out.

I hope the predicted rain is the right balance of gentleness to be helpful and not harmful.

Sounds like your surgeries went well, Laura -- can't wait to hear how you like your new view once your eyeballs settle down.

So far so good with the eyeballs. I go again today to check the pressure and such. It has been almost every day! Generally the video switch has been changed from muted/sepia mode to vivid. I've had to turn down the brightness on the computer and phone. I was a big ball of nerves baby for the process itself, but all the subsequent testing is fine.

Yay new eyeballs Laura!! Boo snow and cold in Florida. Very “wolves at the NY library” in that movie whose name I forget.

David do note that you can download Google maps for offline viewing if needed/wanted! Can be very good for low data situations.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Day After Tomorrow?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yep, that's it. Watchable despite the beyond awful science.

I haven't actually seen it, but I remember seeing clips

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Phew, house closing got pushed out another week. Thank you, concrete, for being difficult to pour in cold weather. We are in gear on packing and fixing stuff around the house, but more time is for sure welcome.


JenP - Jan 24, 2025 1:17:38 pm PST #4839 of 5044

Good news, Dana.

I have a very low threshold for quality when it comes to movies like Day After Tomorrow. I love them fairly unconditionally. I don't know why.
