overheard tonight, "...to be fair, Snowball was a working dog..."

extracted more info, one bit at a time - the cape is green colored with this giant graphic on it, about knee length, with some body to it, no "proper cape clasp" just tied around the neck

Unclear.

bf keeps mentioning this guy who was at an event, "...he wore a Hegel cape, but not any Hegel cape, The Science of Logic cape"
are capes like sweatshirts now, a capelet with an iron on graphic, or is this guy the coolest person ever in a floor length velvet appliqué Hegel cape with silk lining

I'm out of the loop, but why are we asking about grandpas only

Career military, school teacher, photojournalist, mom's mom worked in telecommunications and oversaw a telephone station for a mid-size city as her last job in the late 80s

these useless scallion trefoils

someone had to stage 9 lbs of cooked sea cucumbers on a charcuterie board, in a colander and a baking dish for it to become the crown jewel of this cursed Costco spring deals spread

would love to figure out a non-chaotic way to display my treasures, previously they were piled on a stone platter on a window cill

I'm so good at organizing, in the box labeled " ̶m̶a̶s̶k̶s̶ ̶" were stored not masks!

I guess another reason I loved it because it has Robinson Crusoe elements, reading about his clay pots is my happy place

Marshmallow Fluff

Caught up on most of the recent movies (except The Testament of Ann Lee), and Predator:Badlands was the one that stood out (I will watch anything from the Alien universe, the same way I will play any Zelda game) but I really didn't expect it to be a Pixar buddy adventure movie

I had to go from Frankfurt to Dusseldorf suburb back to Frankfurt, then to Paris to go back basically to Frankfurt to go to Strasbourg in the span of 3 days. Bless the direct trains

I'm back from my romp through France and Germany while managing 2 sets of contractors, client experience, + handling all data/video capture ALONE. I lived to tell the tale even though it involved a car crash, rental canceling the car an hour before we were supposed to leave, and pointless itinerary

It's in the top ten of total # of speakers and even higher as the # of native speakers, to me rare is like Tajik, Korean or Italian is significantly more rare than Russian

The translator in France, he was freshly out of school and wasn't that great, actually spoke some Russian because he picked it as his "rare" language 💀

clients are trying to send me abroad alone without a return ticket (still figuring out what country) because of their cheapness and lack of planning. I'm leaving on Saturday for 2 weeks and my next priority is to get a nail appointment in because my current 2-week growth in 2 weeks will be nasty

I think I missed one of the Aruba (...) Montego loops, but it's so unsatisfying that you DON'T end up in Kokomo after the 5th trip to Bermuda

I haven't seen one battle after another yet, just haven't been in the mood, maybe this weekend while hunkering, I'll give it a go, maybe I'll like it too

for a week I was in 900s in the fantasy movie league ranking, but then Sinners with its 16 noms put me back into 1200s, I picked really well overall, but Eddington has dragged me down (the only movie I actually liked this year)

warm weather - Sicilian sushi, citrus salad, pavlova for dessert. cold weather - gougeres, aigo bouido with fancy cheese/good read grilled cheese, some kind of poached pear for dessert

as expected I need a follow up mam, it's scheduled but I have an intense fear now from how painful it was the first time. HCPs here act like you're a criminal drug seeking slut when you bring up pain when all you're asking is not to crank it to 11 immediately flattening the tit and maybe go slower

I watched home alone yesterday and today I have a tic where every list has to be A), 2), and D)

symmetric rash is 🏆

ok, I knew mammograms were very uncomfortable, I wasn't prepared for "sweating from pain" level though

also for my birthday I'm getting my first mammogram, the last couple of years have been crazy so I'm way overdue

Julia Child’s Garlic Soup Julia Child knew how to make a Garlic Soup and this recipe is so restorative and tasty. A simple, elegant, classic French recipe. #garlic #soup

I have been making aigo bouido with grilled cheese for my birthday for at least 5 years now, it's magical, how can water and mayo be so good ramshacklepantry.com/garlic-soup-... the few whole cloves are key

got both a flu and a covid shot yesterday and I can't lift my arms

I haven't been traveling much last year (by choice) and beginning of 2026 it's like floodgates have opened. Starting the year by going to CES semi on a whim, might lose my will to live entirely though after 4784786743th something-something-AI booth
