The prophecy was real

Watching the start of the Chiefs game because it's on at work & goddamn, is that embarrassingly racist. A bunch of white people banging on a drum, chanting, & doing the chop? Fuuuuuuck.

It's been ages since I've seen it, so it's not like I'm surprised, just bummed.

There was a Friendsgiving last night I was unable to attend due to work, but they sent a plate home with @luckynun.bsky.social & goddamn, I know some great people.

the greatness of the waitresses' "christmas wrapping" "A&P has provided me / With the world's smallest turkey"

This time of year, my brain is always about 10% thinking about "Christmas Wrapping." I haven't heard the song yet in the wild, but it always excites me when I do. A few years ago, I wrote about the song's greatness! anniezaleski.substack.com/p/the-greatn...

OMG portions of this have not aged well.

Oh no drinking at midnight & watching CLERKS 2.

Scene from OFFICE SPACE with Michael Bolton replying to Samir Nagheenanajar: “No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.”

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

Cyanides & "Strychnine" is a little on the nose, but I'll allow it.

Also:

"Gimme a kiss
But don't gimme no lip"

Turbonegro & Shelley, because I contain multitudes.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Well, holiday season weekends are an ass-kicking every shift & tonight saw the actual verbal threat thereof. What a fucking night.

Brace Yourselves, A HOT SPRING SHARK ATTACK Sequel Is Coming Morihito Inoue’s toothy tokusatsu horror-comedy HOT SPRING SHARK ATTACK has a sequel swimming our way.

Oak Park has really leaned in to local stores, as well, and with that and its location, that's why it's still standing.

At work earlier this week, I subjected everyone to an explanation of the Shakespearean aspects of this movie at length.

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT will be tomorrow because casting is being a pain. DO YOU FEAR WHAT I FEAR is such delightful trash, however.

We let Luci listen to NPR and every time I go into the basement, it's a bummer.

Yes, we are watching a Lifetime Christmas thriller because I am a weirdo.

I really fucked something up on the right side of my lower back. Can't cross my leg, getting in & out of seats is a problem, & no amount of fucking stretching will fix it.

Guess we'll try whiskey.

Go get that Sharp Pins LP. It's a fucking gem.

Anybody else have Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December" on permanent repeat in their heads or is it just me? youtu.be/xKHpVuDC7lg?...

Watch the film, read the article with director @kierlajanisse.bsky.social, & you'll be all set for next week's episode.

Plans for this evening: watch a country matinee at the Replay, go home, watch my SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT screener, contemplate getting a trial subscription to watch Lifetime's DO YOU FEAR WHAT I FEAR, pet cats. Probably snacks & drinks in there, too.

Self-care is important.

I had a dude threaten to kick my ass for telling the women next to him to be quiet.

It has come to my attention that some of you may know a few frustrated, overworked, stressed out creative sweeties who are too hard on themselves and who deserve a little treat this holiday season. SaraBenincasa.com/Books

Netflix has completed second round negotiations for the acquisition of W.A.V.E. Productions. The sale is for a reported 1.2 million dollar mix of cash and stock and the first new W.A.V.E. after the sale features Tina Krause shrinking Chris Pratt and adding him to a salad.

Pretty close to snapping today, so that's fun. Fucking electronics, man.

Hey it's *Bandcamp Friday* again. The best day to go find that artist who was top of your Spotify unwrapped and actually buy their music, because all the proceeds go to them today. And by god do musicians need it.

Goodness, I love these books.
