Context: fake books are the only way my father plays, and thus are a primary way that I play due to having stacks of them in the house. But it feels like every time I mention them outside my family I have to explain what they are...
Taking an informal poll:
If you play the piano (any level), have you heard of a fake book? If yes, have you used one?

The opening sequence of Werckmeister Harmonies is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Maybe I'll make a bunch of my coworkers watch it with me today.
At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!
On a student evaluation: Frau [LastName] is the worst thing to ever happen to the German language.
Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney Animated, or Pixar.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
1000% recommend Jenny's recaps. Not only are they extremely entertaining, but I've also learned a lot about what goes into good writing.
And Blood of Hercules is so bad...makes for excellent hating 😁
With my very limited spare time and energy I've decided to attempt to acquire a new practice based skill. This particular skill comes with a lot of emotional baggage for me.
Why do I do this to myself?
Wait you still have the same phone number you had in high school? I was about to say that's shocking to me, but I just realized my sister has my old phone number still. Weird.
Outrageously cute! Wow I wonder if I have appropriate colors in my stash to make one quick 🤔
Monday morning playlist: synth heavy 90s remixes. Trying to lift my mood enough to make it through the day.
Seriously, manicure day is always the best day. It's an expense that past me would be judging present me very harshly for, but past me doesn't know what she's missing.
A still from the Star Trek episode The Man Trap. Captain Kirk and Nancy/the salt monster are in his quarters. Her hands are on his face.
Happy birthday to Star Trek. Did you ask them about salt?
it's called re-sleep. it's the hottest new trend. it's where you go back to sleep.
Say less. Nonograms Katana is free and has so many user submitted puzzles. I just did a quick search and turned up 90 for Final Fantasy.
I have promised myself that if I keep doodling in the tiny journal, I may buy myself whatever extravagant planner I wish for 2026. So far this is working extremely well. Now the hard part is deciding which planner I shall fixate on.

And how can one exchange currency for those buttons? I need a small horde. Badly.
Today's small piece of joy: unearthing my wet ink pens, cleaning them, and playing around a little.
Last night I dreamt I had returned to grad school, and my new dissertation advisor gave me a stupid nickname and a hideous tattoo without my consent.
So yeah, it would seem that I'm still not over that whole situation 🫠
You are not "shoes bound." You are not "car bound." If you have use for one, having a wheelchair is way better than not having one. You go places in it.
You want a real icon of disabled suffering? Your buildings that aren't accessible.
If I’m being truly honest,
then yes, I am tired
of wearing a mask
of taking precautions
of reading health studies
yes, I am tired,
but what exhausts me
what truly exhausts me
is being asked
if I’m tired of those things
by people who wonder
why they keep getting sick.
Watched The Haunting (1963 version) for the first time tonight. I'm not a horror person in general but WOW that film is an absolute masterpiece. Every beat, every shot - sheer perfection. Going to need a rewatch soon!
90% of the time if I get a compliment on my jewelry, it's something from @wyrdingstudios.com Gorgeous, shockingly affordable, and now with bonus coupons!

a plastic snap clip for a strap or belt. it has an uncanny resemblance to the previous picture of a spaceship for some reason.
A speedy little clipper ship from the rust belt. 🐱
Age verification: I've done the Macarena on rollerblades during glow skate.
I eat almost all leftovers straight out of the fridge. Pizza of course, but also corn on the cob, quiche, baked pasta, curry (with or without rice), bean patties...the list goes on and on.
The only exception is certain soups...I do occasionally reheat soup.
Decided tonight was the night to rewatch Das Leben der Anderen. It really hits differently now vs. 2006 🫠
It's literally sitting next to me right now! Going to start it tomorrow 😁
