Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That's good, Steph, it's not like you have anything going on these days.

Yeah, I did need to fill up today's free time that I otherwise could have used by going to the grocery store.

Happy birthday, flea!

Jeez, Tep, stop hogging all the malady!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Condolences and hugs, PMM. I'm so sorry.

And goddamnit, Ken Dryden slipped away from us last night. Great goaltender, brave politician, and apparently an all-around decent human being. Fuck cancer.

Just trying to fit all I can into the month of September. Maybe I'll get scurvy next.

Unlikely. You need limes for guacamole, and we all need guacamole to live.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Trust me, I don't. I love it, but it does not love me back. (One strange thing I shared with Jacqueline, iirc. being...oil-crossed with avocado.) ETA: in other star-crossed news, hey, Karl. No oil there, either. So far.

You know, I haven’t had guacamole in a while. Maybe that’s the root of my problems.

Mmmmmm, guacamole.

Wishing you easy fixes to your tooth problem, Steph.

Happy Birthday, flea!

The other night I ran across the new-to-me music comedy YouTube channel The Key of Awesome, about a decade and change late: [link]

It has lots of fun musical parodies that I stayed up way too late watching. Though they came with a price—their parody of "One Thing" resulted in the horrifying discovery that I like a One Direction song.

I hope the tooth stuff gets fixed quickly and painlessly, Steph.

I got my COVID and flu vaccinations today. I’m 99.7% sure it’s psychosomatic, but I generally feel loggy after getting my shots. Eh, I had nothing else major to do today.
