Same. When I went to see Chess last week I was like yes, right, this is what it is to feel alive.

And it's not even one of my favorite musicals, there's just something about theater.

I may or may not have forgotten that article club was this evening.

Thanks! I forgot that was a thing. 😂

I don't do podcasts either (can't focus on them for some reason) but I make an exception for The Runthrough as well.

Casa Comida maybe? I was mostly too young to remember their food, I mostly remember Juanitos.

Meanwhile, they were both big into sushi in the 80s and I don't remember ever not knowing what it was.

(Apologies to humanity for being five years old and briefly deciding it would be a great idea to eat all my tuna rolls on hotdog buns drowned in soy sauce, that was unforgivable)

Yeah, I definitely think it was primarily a lack of exposure.

Honestly I don't think there was a single Korean restaurant in our immediate area until after I graduated from college.

Thanks for taking us there because exposing them to Thai food did cause them to try it again and eventually come around.

Which meant I got to eat a lot of good Thai food as a teenager.

Yup. A lovely person. /s

What movie?

Professor Trash Wheel is objectively the best, I do not say this simply because she is my most local trash wheel and has cool glasses.

Mogul Penske’s sneak leak Jay Penske — son of billionaire racing mogul Roger and owner of Web sites Deadline, Movieline and Hollywood Life — was busted with his brother Mark during a wild Nantucket night during which the me…

I'm sorry/ you're welcome.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, so glad This Accident of Being Lost came across my desk for processing when I still worked in a library.

Aw, mine was also Labyrinth and Geocities! But I was twelve or thirteen, which meant I spent all of high school neck deep in fanfic.

My sister went to school with that son. And agreed, it feels very not good.

At least he hasn't been arrested for peeing on a stranger's shoes recently. 🫠

I know nothing about racing, but I look forward to hearing you trash Penske. Grew up around that family and am not a fan.

Absolutely.

Same, this feels weird.

Finally saw Chess and am apparently now going to have Endgame in my head forever.

Also Nicholas Christopher is amazing, holy hell.

Quoi

I feel so pandered to! Ahhhhh

Don't remember there being any cows on Amtrak's NE Regional route, but if I see any I will say hi.

I! Am on! A train!!!

I just really love train travel, y'all.

Oh fun, Amtrak's entire booking system is down. 🫠

I often miss working in academic libraries, but then I think about having to do library instruction in this environment and I think I got out just in time.

Things I am supposed to this evening: Dinner with parents

Things I want to do this evening: Sleep.

Is Sasha being uncharacteristically well behaved in S's absence?

And I didn't think I could love it any more than I already did. 🤣

Kaori Sakamoto takes a selfie of her and the full gala cast as they close out their time at the Olympics.

Did the results always match what I wanted? No. Yet this was still infinitely better than anything that happened in Beijing where the mood was insurmountably awful. Here’s hoping 2030 can continue the upwards trend. But who will take the selfies?🥲

How convenient, a bathroom break in between Ilia's program and Mikhail's. Too bad nobody won the gold medal in ice dance this year.
