Two tuxedo cats, looking expectantly at something out of frame. Probably cheese

These two overheard a conversation about how a friend's cats get "cheese time" in the evenings. Now they want cheese time. I want cheese time. This should be a nightly event.

This is the John Waters “no smoking in the theater” of region warnings

I have a friend whose dad owns a company that was getting audited by the IRS. he removed all the chairs from the entire building and made the IRS guy walk across the street with boxes to do the audit if he wanted to sit down. Needless to say the audit didn’t last long.

Woke up at 10:28. Managed to shower, get dressed, do hair, attend to the cats, and make it to my 11 am acupuncture appointment.

My graphic designer friends - a non-profit I work with is in need of a logo/letterhead design. Something vintage style, like the attached images

If this sounds intriguing to you, please reach out. I'd much prefer to hire someone I know, and someone who would have fun with this.

It's a snow day. Look at all this snow.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

I would like to roadtrip to Pullman and buy all the cheese. Who's with me?

Watching Henry Rollins talking about The Cramps is one of the most unexpectedly wholesome things

Life imitates cat

Today's my one-year hysterversary! Even though I feel a million bajillion times better, I'm still healing -- full recovery can take up to 18 months, so 2/3 of the way there! It's wonderful to be able to just be pain-free.

Clearly AI doesn't understand Burns Night

Welcome to Tuesday

Attempting to get in the habit of using this more and other sites less.

I'm also trying to figure out how to get sweet and sour tofu, tiramisu, and an orange Julius delivered, at 10pm on a Sunday night, without spending more than $20. I fear it's unpossible, but I'm also pretty resourceful, so...

The following tv series ended too soon and I demand graphic novel follow ups: Sunny, The Big Door Prize, Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes, Freaks & Geeks, Mindhunter, Santa Clarita Diet, Pushing Daisies

Is it just me or is the saturation on My Life Is Murder getting bumped to the right a little bit more every episode?

It's so so so good

I cancelled some going to the movie plans tonight so that I could stay in. I love secret cinema nights at the Beacon, but pajamatime at home sounded better.

So I'm catching up on Noirvember films at home. It's queer-noir night tonight, so Desert Fury, Gilda, and The Big Clock are on tap.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

It was bought out by a Russian company a while ago. I know some folks still use it

I keep forgetting about this platform. Honestly, part of me still pines for the glory days of LJ.

Anyway... How are you today?

I do this already! Not all the time; if there are leftover pancakes and I snack on one later, I'll top it with pb and j

If AI can dream it, it should be 3D printable.

I keep forgetting that this is in my socials rotation now. But then, logging into LJ is still in my muscle memory so...

Anyway hi. Currently locked in my bedroom while flooring installation is happening elsewhere in my apartment. Forgot to bring snacks.

Two sleepy cats. They are cuddling and one is sticking his tongue out.

Living in a hotel with cats for a month. Things are already getting weird.

There's a cemetery near me that has all the usual graveyard stuff -- old graves, new graves, gravestones made of rocks -- but it's very uniquely infused with such personality and joy! It's truly a delight to wander through and find something new each time
