Dicky Lovelady is looking pretty limp in his first appearance for the Mets.
I heard he was being sent down for hot prospect Cox Cumpleaser.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Local Hero
Did he recognize the 12th Doctor?
Did he recognize anyone else in the cast?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’ve done jack all on my cleaning list.
Groceries were achieved and I’ve knitted.
Eta, Posting that immediately shamed me into starting the roomba. The least effort of the cleaning, which will allow me to sit and knit more while the temp can drop more.

He's not a Whovian. His nerd realms are: Star Wars, LotR (books and films) and D&D. With some anime.
But he and my niece recognized Peter Reigart from The Mask (not Animal House).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Belated Birthday to all I missed this week!
We did a one-night overnight with Mr. S this weekend.(We had commitments until 5 on Friday.) It was..not great. No 911 calls, no complete meltdowns, but he didn't go to sleep until after 11:30. He, of course, woke us up at 5 because he was hungry, and he needed someone to go down the stairs with him. He woke us up a couple times after that, and we eventually got out of bed at 9:20. (He ended up taking a long nap after breakfast. sigh)

Things I don’t really need Monday morning—for my email to not be working and IT being slow as molasses to respond to chat.

Our wings are not tired.
Boo! Monday mornings are rough enough.
My poor sister had a deer jump into the side of her car this morning. This is, I think, the 4th deer vs car incident in her 50 years living up here. Also, deer are dumb. The last one jumped off the top of a snowbank onto the top of her car when she was driving home.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not a big deal, but the sort of mistake I used to find mortifying in college, so I'm posting this to show I'm not really worried that you picture me dribbling tapioca into a cup because I get titles confused. I got "Local Hero"(Which I don't think I've really seen) mixed up with "Hero", which is summarized here. [link]

I mix shit like that up all the time, erikaj. Now I just lean into it. I also do things like when DH and I were watching West Wing last year, I called it "White House," and I still do. The Last of Us is "The Rest of us," to me (and then I always think, "Festivus!") It can be good, silly fun up in my head sometimes, I tell you what.
Took my aunt in for some eye surgery this morning, which went well, and we're chilling now. I'm spending the night just for, ya' know, company. She's super duper independent, but sometimes it's still nice to have a body around. Biopsy should come back in ten or so days to see whether she will need a Mohs procedure. Crossing fingers not, but she says the consensus seems to be she probably will. Meanwhile, I'm ignoring consensus in favor of actual biopsy. As you do.
Also, it's freaking hot, and I'd like to not go outside again today.
