Just reading this made me tired.

Maybe Starship Troopers was too subtle

Happy birthday! (Love the dress!)

“They” say I eat way too much of it, but I’ve always had low blood pressure, so I don’t see a problem. (I also have a suspicion I might have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.)

The “tarte d’Alsace” is the edible one. I add some garlic, tomatoes, and oregano (and cook it longer than it says to). It’s good as hell.

For the Robert E. Howard and Lovecraft freaks.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

they call him “stephen root” because i’m always “root”ing for him to show up in whatever im watching

Pizza Hut cheese breadsticks, I love you.

I am Very Worried this will happen if I move.

Niche topic(s) but I love to listen to Suzanne Ciani in the bathtub. Makes me feel like a tropical fish.

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

Pleasantly pleased to report that pretty much all the fingers-in-mouths are in the trailer, so I did not have to scream during the motion picture.

“nothing is real until it hurts me” slogan replaces “don’t tread on me” slogan on a Gadseden flag

how we got here

A still from the WUTHERING HEIGHTS (2026) trailer of someone sticking their finger into the mouth of a whole fish suspended in aspic.

For fuck’s sake.

As a person who hates seeing fingers go into mouths, this is going to be a rough ride.

Going to absolutely ruin my afternoon with the new “Wuthering Heights” abomination.

I’m a little surprised the USA isn’t doing better in the Winter Olympics after spending the last year proving how great they are at going downhill

I walked the eastern half of Lady Bird Lake Trail today to see the new wishbone pedestrian bridge(!). I strayed to Rainey Street for some tacos, and one of the bars was gearing up for a Puerto Rico bash. It was a reminder that this town is not all bad all the time. Not even Rainey Street.

I saw a lot of people out today wearing Puerto Rican pride clothing and I thought that was sweet as hell.

Thank you, Super Bowl, for making Central Market as empty as it ever gets so I can pick out fancy fruits in peace. (I’ll watch the halftime show tomorrow as is my custom.) Also: Go, [other] Birds.

I’m waiting for someone else to make the joke but no one is stepping up.

That sounds so satisfying.

Going to say something controversial yet brave:

Hamlet is a great play.

I had to stay in-state and go to OU because they gave me a tuition waiver. I was a first generation college student and was too scared to take on tens of thousands of dollars in loans to finance a freshman year elsewhere. I’d still be paying that off 20 years later.

I am struggling with this as well.

Going to see Suzy Eddie Izzard's one-woman performance of Hamlet tonight. Very interested in how she's going to swordfight with herself. (But if anyone can do it... it's probably her.)

Parker Posey grilling one (1) chicken wing… a queen.

Surely The Answer can be found on microfilm. To the library!
