Local McDonald's was out of Squishmallows, so went to Ikea for an alternate thing to celebrate with. Didn't realize the markers weren't in a resealable case until I tried to open them, which seems like a weird choice.

Finally! A dead body!* I was beginning to think I'd been mistaken about this book's genre *If you ignore the saint that they're trying to get for a relic

Why is it always "you need to learn how to take a joke," and never "I need to learn to read the fucking room"?

No, audiobook, I do not need you to read me the back cover blurb during the intro. I already decided to read this book. Its copyrighted is 1991, so it's not even for someone who's listening to a preview. This thing was probably on cassettes originally.

You remember James Frey as the confabulator who faked a memoir and got humiliated by Oprah for it; I remember him as the book packager who egregiously exploited young writers with an outrageously bad ghost writing contract. He's always been fucking terrible. whatever.scalzi.com/2010/11/13/t...

Have been mistaken for a senior twice in the last two days by bus drivers. Given senior bus fare is almost a dollar cheaper, I haven't felt the urge to argue with them.

I've used Stoicism as a tool to deal with a lot of shit, but scrolling through a Google AI "summary" of an email thread that was longer then the actual thread this morning just to *get* to the thread, I'd like to think Marcus Aurelius would've sewn techbros into a bag and tossed them into the Tiber.

"If they have to do it, they should do it in private." "Yeah!" "It's not right, doing it in the open where kids can see." "Yeah! It's not like they have to, it's something they choose to do." "True. Hate is a lifestyle choice." "Absol- Hate?" "Yeah. What did you think we were talking about?"

The cat just managed to induce the windows box to start screen-reading everything This includes a window hidden behind the lock screen. That’s just terrible security design. (Also, anybody know how to turn it off?)

Haven't even tried going anywhere and I already miss my bus pass. Didn't end up going everywhere I planned to check out the route to, since May decided to be an endless sea of rain. Maybe I'll save up and buy one for July or August, when the urge to go places with AC is strong.

Have spent $4 acquiring five books. I love library book sales.

If there’s a more bone chilling sentence for one screenwriter to hear from another than “Oh, he’s one of those current execs who thinks he’s a writer” … seriously. I’d rather hear a clown laugh from under my bed at 2 am.

*sigh* Looks like I'm going to have another round of "Yes, I understand you don't have a later appointment available that day, but I'm coming by bus, so it's not happening." with a scheduler.

Was going to go to bed, then I remembered I have a couple of pills I need to take after 9 and that I'm doing laundry. Adulthood is overrated

Bus trip planner: You need to catch this bus, that's heading the other way, transfer to this other bus, then take this third bus for a two zone ride Me: Or? BTP: Wait six minutes and catch the bus going in the right direction.
