"How did I lose a stitch on that row? I counted three times!"

Who me, hyperfixate on last night's half time show? Bah! Also, read this thread, it's fabulous and talks about a lot of the little details those of us not from PR missed.

As I set dessert in front of the judges, I hum a few bars, and the fiddle-shaped cake turns red and begins to hiss. It was supposed to turn gold & play Johnny's part, but I think I used the wrong kind of cocoa powder in the devil's food cake.

Oh, dear.

This is Miss Daisy Mae, who we lost suddenly last year. She was me in cat form and decidedly my cat - full of anxiety and always one to give love, with a high EQ and an impeccable sense of when someone might need a cat. I miss her mightily.

3! That would be marvelous.

Ways in which my autism is unexpectedly helpful: walking my mother through connecting her new Bluetooth headphones to her phone after they were connected to her computer. Naturally breaking things down step by step is really useful for that kind of thing, and also, oof, I'm tired. #techsupport

QWERTY is sleeping the sleep of the kitty who has only gotten 15 hours of sleep today, and is utterly exhausted.

Because I apparently forgot earlier today, I'm asking all of you - did you remember to take your meds?

It's been ten years since we lost Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU) and the last of the Discworld books, The Shepherd's Crown, was published. It's time for a Discworld re-read that will end with finally reading the last Discworld book. insertscenehere.blogspot.com/2025/09/grea...

Well now I know what my next goal/reward will be. If I ever get something accepted for publication, I want a basket of snacks.

I saw that the summer before my senior year (the year you write your thesis at my school), and I made a point of telling every other senior and junior about it. It was 2003, and I ended up backing up on disc, CD, paper, sent a copy to my mother, kept a hard copy in the fridge...

When it's been less than a week since the last WorldCon ended and the next WorldCon already has to make a statement of apology, it's not looking so good for the convention scene.

Cautionary tale time! In college, I worked in the library and was organizing the thesis tower one summer (meaning skimming through the theses written by graduates from the ~100 years the school has been around). Came upon a Philosophy thesis of ~30 pages, which is SHORT. 1/2

I love this. Going to look for a Mexican flag magnet right now.
