Japanese Word of the Week in the local paper is often fuel for my so-called art. 😝

I’m reading Middlemarch, on recommendation by esteemed author @monizahossain.bsky.social, and I come across mention of the Green Dragon inn or pub, and I thought, that sounds familiar. Well, duh, I know it from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I love little finds like this. Carry on.

Can I interest you in car insurance?

You were right, @barbarabyar.bsky.social to wait for all the A Shop For Killers to drop. Best to sit and binge it in its entirety, if you can.

So, I’ve been wearing my watch in the wrong place on my wrist since I’ve owned it. Sensors and all that. *sigh*

I am on the receiving end of an “old man yells at cloud” rant here at work. Multiple complaints. Yay, me.

This is such a good essay and deserves re-upping every few months. I've referred so many people to it in the past 5+ years.

I do not know that.

“It’s only his outside; a man can be honest in any sort of skin.” I’m reading Moby Dick for the first time.

Ha! Got two, count ‘em, two rejections from @tacobellquarterly.org . I sent a drawing along with my story. Anyhoo… I can’t wait to read the next issue when it come out. Live mas!

Eh? I’m not hiding.

I did not know that potholes rained down from the sky.

I’ve experienced this, and discovered the term for it when I looked up what was happening because I thought it was weird.

Happy April, Friends! 🌷 This song is called "Bound by a Thread". 🧵 It is about the people who have meaningfully impacted our lives, as if you were destined to meet. Haha when I wrote it I realized it was too high for me to sing so I had to stretch my vocal cords in order to reach the high notes! 🤣

Already working up our fall call for subs...watch for that soon. For now though...

Been there.

Had enough of this weather already, thank you.

Me: Did I fart? My cat:

It’s time.

Inspired by a scene I saw while driving down the street the other day.

Haven’t heard from Bose, maybe I’m more Apple’s style. Hey, Apple, I’m available for ad work.

Dear Bose, I’m available for ad work.

I’m probably well over 100. Which could explain why I don’t really know why Spotify is. Eh? What?

Maybe we just need to save the cheerleader.

I am not unreasonably happy that I have leftover Mexican food for lunch. New Mexican style, to be precise.

The recipe is titled 20-Minute Red Lentil Soup. 20 minutes from when? It took me nearly that long to “finely mince” the veggies. But the soup was SOOO good!

Watching the Wales v Japan rugby game with Welsh announcers because that’s all I can find on YouTube.
