Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Omg flea, and I thought the photo fb showed me from 18 years ago of me and the NCistas was old school!! Wow!

Dear Spelling Bee—how was “nuncio” a word yesterday and “milt” is not an acceptable word??? Sure it’s fish sperm but it’s a valid word! Your dictionary is wild!

Spelling Bee seems arbitrary and capricious

Happy sj day! I don't have a fancy teacup to hand but I'll have some tea to celebrate

Good to see you flea. Hold-it-together~ma

Happy Birthday, sj!!!

Hi, flea!

Spelling Bee, you know what you did.

Our wings are not tired.

I do so many varieties of puzzles that I have a deal with Spelling Bee. I do 10 words and move along. I can't justify spending any more time on that one. It does not spark that much joy. Ten and done.

eta: That said, I bombed out on the Wordle today. Too many options.

I'm obsessed with getting to Genius. (Which is definitely not to say that I always do!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I feel like the Yolo County Department of Tourism should really get on this.

You know, I have never considered whether Yolo County had a department of tourism before. I mean, I go there for stuff but I don't need to be advertised to for it, it's right there. Surely they must have something, though. I'm guessing their signs get stolen a lot

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Weed Street here almost never has a sign. Do you think there are frat house basements with both signs?
