Work in progress update: almost done round 75. (Had to stand on a chair to get a decent angle. 😂) 🧶

Boob squish done for another year or two. This time was much faster and less painful than last time; the mammogram technician makes all the difference. Today’s was exceedingly competent. (Last time was awful, the technician made me hold my own non-squished boob out of the way. G-cup problems etc…)

Yikes

Tonight Husband and I finally finished watching The Expanse.

How your email finds me today.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“That is not per contract.”
(What I wish I could say: “The collective agreement is not your bitch.”)

I’m seeing all these adds for AI on CBC Gem Olympics coverage, and not a single use case advertised makes me want to use Gemini or any other AI product. Am I the weird one? (No, it’s the children who must be wrong etc…)

I’m not sure which is more bonkers, feet first and you can’t really look where you’re going, or face first and seeing everything rush by at top speed. 😂

We’re watching luge. I assume they’re piloted but that’s an interesting question.

Watching Olympics luge coverage and two things: 1) how does a person get into luge? And 2) holy fuck skilled drone pilot.

I just realized I can make gnocchi with the roasted butternut squash and/or yams in my fridge right now so that’s dinner, sorted.

I’ve been working at reducing expenses, canceling subscriptions etc, but I think as a little gift to myself I will subscribe to F1TV so I can watch the races. I used to be religious about it but after we canceled cable back in 2010 I got out of the habit.

Like, why did it make sense in my brain then and then cause so much resentment now?? 😂

Thank you!! It’s a gift for my niece. :)

Six-months-ago-me booked now-me a dentist appointment at 8am today and I would like to know what six-months-ago-me’s problem was.

Five: F1. Reminded me why I used to get up at 4am to watch the European races live. Kid was surprised/impressed with my expertise in the sport/rules/strategies etc, and including recognizing the voice of Martin Brundle and knowing most of the driver names. 😂

If you google heated rivalry there’s a fun little thing that happens at the top of the results page.

Have you considered making bad Art?

It's literally better than making nothing and crying about it.

No AI needed. There's all kinds of mediums. If you don't click with any of them make a new one up cuz that also is Art.

So awful. And the weird it’s a poncho but it’s not shape doesn’t help either.

She is magnificent.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS:

THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

My reaction exactly lol

Their poncho situation was fugly

Yes, I was VERY pleased!

My Taiwanese friend says mine compare favourably with their favourite night market stand in Taipei. I need to make some this weekend!

Payday today. It was nice to have money in my account for that brief shining moment before I paid all the bills.

I snortlaughed.

Now I want scallion pancakes.

Making chocolate sauce as my contribution to waffle day in the office. We’ll have the Olympics opening ceremony on the big screen and waffles for all. (This is not a Severance reference.)

Thanks, Angela!
