Thank you for this; I hadn't heard The Happy Fits before, but they've been to my catalog :)

Cleaning cat vomit off of painted concrete is easier than you think.

Follow me for more daily affirmations.

I had forgotten how much is involved in moving into a new home. Also, I had no idea I had all these cool comics.

This is who runs this account.

Are we talking Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man," or Bottleneck's "Simple Kinda Man," or a third one that is escaping me?

Parenthetically, there might be an alternate ending where Rocket Man's launch is documented in Bowie's "Major Tom," and his eventual return in Queen's "'39."

Okay, so hear me out. The young man in "Piano Man" (Billy Joel) eventually grows up to be the "Rocket Man" (Elton John), and reflects on his missed opportunities as a father in "Cats in the Cradle" (Harry Chapin). His son eventually grows up to be the father in "Father and Son" (Cat Stevens).

This was fun to see. I was surprised by how many guests stayed through the hour long power outage but even more surprised to see how many people drove over *during* the outage because they wanted to hang out and play in the dark.

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible.

"A modern re-imagination of the 1957 drama 'Zero Hour'"

It’s turtle season at Hilton Head.

When I was a kid, we called this "paranoia."

Today, whilst driving in South Carolina, I discovered the phrase "tarp your load," and I intend to use it in every setting imaginable.

Getting ready to listen to Marc Scibilia. He doesn’t seem to be on Bluesky yet so here’s a link www.marcscibilia.com

I'm back in her good graces after a few scritches.

That's an artifact of the *angle* - that's actually her tail.

My head canon is that The Decemberist’s “The Sporting Life” and Fountains of Wayne’s “All Kinds of Time” are the same game from two different perspectives.

Gracefully resting cat was not interested in me photographing her, so instead we have a photo of her yelling at me.

I think Putin just drunk dialed me.

I hadn't heard of @ilvolo.bsky.social until tonight, but they're concert was incredible. Their rendition of Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" was awesome and completely unexpected.

At the @ilvolo.bsky.social concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. Mom is positively giddy with anticipation.

First in line to donate blood at @meeplemadness.com today, and the van is already getting full with two more in the chairs and three waiting in line.

I'm not the hotstepper,
Nor the lyrical gangster,
No crew ina di area,
Still love you like that.

At GAMA Expo with the lovely Priya. Got to play the second edition of Parks today - the new artwork is beautiful.

And, no, I don't know why I put my hand on my own ass in this photo.

I enjoyed Captain America: Brave New World, but my suspension of disbelief was hindered by some completely unrealistic scenes.

I can accept surfing on missiles, and the altered physics of how a shield bounces, but having politicians accept responsibility for their actions is a bridge too far.

Harvey Danger’s Flagpole Sitta still carries.

Autocorrect keeps changing “Lyft” to “Smurf” and it makes everything awkward.

At the airport and I just overheard someone say “the exclusivity elements of the ideation,” and I can’t stop thinking about what that might mean.

I wonder what the web statistics for Bluesky.com look like after bsky.app arrived on the scene. I know I visit them far more often than I ever intended.

Still, nice planners.
