LOVE vaudeville. Been told I favor Jodie Foster & Marty Feldman. I'm chuffed about the Feldman. Used to go by Canolli Capalini in another #SecondLife. Became a clockmaker BECAUSE of Miss Olli. she/her

Here is a bit of nice news. Last night my local historical theatre showed NOSFERATU with a live organ score. I went. As did 600 other people. Some wore costumes. Best one I saw was a Bride of Frankenstein & her date, Ash with the chainsaw. Anyway it was a fun night and just wanted you to know.

Also it was nice to be out and around ppl (I masked) who all wanted.. were excited to be in the same place with you. Don’t take my goth card.. I’d never seen the movie. I have now. And it was great, especially with the organ music. and no, the bride of Frankenstein did not win.. she got 2nd.

Just hear me out. Money is tighter. Plus size women clothing choices HAVE been getting slimmer. I love Torrid but their prices have gone up and the clothing has gotten thinner. Have you PRICED LaneBryant/catherines lately? Walmart sucks (in addition to almost completely removing plus sizes)..

🎯 .. is not an option because of their fuckery.. I have a couple prolly sweatshop options on Amazon.. Who the fuck knew JC Penney’s was still in play?? www.jcpenney.com I FINALLY have a pair of corduroy pants THAT FIT ME. They’re going up to 5..6x, pants up to 32w..

Now truthfully the tops are still.. you know .. tunics and shirts that I wouldn’t wear but an affordable option for jeans.. work pants.. omg. I got my rust colored boot cut corduroys and IT IS PERFECT. Suddenly I’m looking at their shoes. OMG y’all!! JC fucking Penney’s.

Look, I'm fluffy.. and the amount of places I can get clothing that fits/isn't hundreds of dollars/decent selection is like.. 2 places. I just re-discovered JC Penneys, and had a mind melting moment of OMG they've upped their plus sizes.. and well, we're giving it a try. I'm genuinely excited..

For some decent, workhorse stable clothing in my sizes.. and I completely forgot they sell reasonable shoes.. so if I can make additions to my wardrobe under 100 dollars?? WIN WIN.. JC Penneys, I'm coming back to ya.. wish you still had the candy counter.

Just saying, getting Covid .. again (I work in healthcare, I am exposed FREQUENTLY), this sucks. However, Paxlovid as a medication, DOES NOT. Get your vaccinations. IF you do get something, take the meds for it. It's not rocket science, kids..

Well to quote Roy Kent… “FUCKKKKK” I thought I was having an attack of allergies, but just tested positive for Covid and have a temp of 101.5. I feel like doo doo.

My introduction to coffee was an ex-boyfriend from 15 years ago, who was fixated on making the perfect cup of coffee. I vacuum packed beans, got the right grinders, used french presses, aero presses, pour overs, timed the water, because.. it was clear that you were drinking BAD coffee if you didn't.

Then our pot at work quit. Still makes hot water, and in a fit of desperation, I borrowed a bit of a coworker's instant.. and it wasn't terrible. Imagine my surprise to find out MOST of the world uses instant coffee. Like.. what? Sighs. No elaborate ritual, process.. just spoon, cup, hot water.

It's JUST as good. Saving those handcrafted special event lattes and art designs for special occasions. Every day now, comes from a jar of crystals and caffeine. *shakes my head*

I got a steamer (which scared me so badly with the jet flying through the kitchen sound, I jerked and it sent scalded milk all over the kitchen, including the ceiling) and never used it again. I've tried to make good coffee for years.. using eco baskets for the keurig at work, etc.

Starting the cleaning of the garage. Put shelves together and filled one tote. Clearing out boxes.. and WOOOOHOOOO I found a Joseph Beth Booksellers gift card, called and it’s got $25 on it!! Wooooo what should I get?!? Choices choices

Look, intellectually I understand there are situations that call for unsalted butter instead of salted butter, but emotionally there is never a time I want to be in one of those situations.

This is a great book and I highly recommend it if you like.. mystery, violence and the idea of being able to call your best friend with ”Hey, uhm.. do you have a shovel?” Absolutely loved it.

Just gonna say.. any store that previously had a dedicated plus size section that has decided “economically” to do away with that section, I will not be buying clothing there at all. It’s following a trend to remove dignity from people in a cruel display of ableism.

Finally got the money, and am getting my dream car fixed (2012 Toyota rav 4. I have SMALL dreams). Gonna be a few hours so walked to the nearest Waffle House. Need coffee. So much coffee for today.

I'll be honest.. travelling and exposure to tv have made this harder for I think, a lot of people.. but yeah, no, that's .. I was born 30 miles south of Dolly so.. that tracks.

Soothing myself from the many slings and arrows that have come with Turkish Delight from a local bakery.. Gotta love Al Taj bakery.

Name five albums that shape you: Sting: Dream of the Blue Turtles Barry Manilow: Greatest Hits Howard Jones: Dream Into Action Nina Simone: anything she did honestly. My god, her voice Brown Bird: Salt for Salt Too many to name. Type O negative, MCR, Tex Ritter, Depeche Mode, just too many

name five albums that helped shape you: Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes Liz Phair: Exile in Guyville Nina Simone: Bittersweet Crass: Best Before 1984 Tie: The Cure, Disintegration & The Violent Femmes, self titled This was very hard

Not to mention there is new music every day.. Iain Elliott, the shakers, Linda Linda’s, Seth abstract, the cure, queen, tracy Chapman, Dwight yoakam, indigo girls, godsmack, a-ha, Metallica, iris dement, professor elemental. I can’t pick one because I am a multitude constantly changing shape…

I got to bring books to read to every class, and when other students complained that they were having to do work and I was just reading, my teachers would hold up my finished work. "When you can finish your work like this, you can read in class too."

Or the kids who were "too smart," shuffled into the Gifted and Talented programs because no one knew what to do with them. Or the kids who finished every reading and math level and needed teachers to give them extra assignments to keep them happy and engaged.

The neighborhood Head Raccoon just left a note asking for a side table to the kiddie pool for snacks, implored us to build a more robust fountain in front yard, and noted that they wld gladly pay in "succulent koi" for a studio apartment in the attic. Is this typical raccoon behavior for Portland?
