the smile and the jelly fish are giving me life!

We've all been there haha - call it a cremation win maybe?

Beautiful. Even if I wasn't lusting after her strand of amber beads in the cover art, the lyricism is gorgeous and the instrumentation is so playful. Please stop exporting your soulful trad twinks to American music markets. We aren't built to withstand them. Plus y'all keep putting them in smart suits?? No. Feed them at least one sandwich and absolutely do not let them keep shooting each other smoldering looks as they play! It is always Florence O'clock. I personally subscribe to the theory that she is the Unseelie cognate to Hozier's undeniable elfin prince thang. Cherished meme below, and one I need to re-read more often.

Kristen Schaal is a goddess. A strange goddess of strange humors, voice to some of our favorite characters, and a wild muse. I could list her many accomplishments but I am only one man, and her accolades are so heavy. The clips below of her stand-up, they're fucking weird . Fair warning. The slayer goddess befuddling us for 8:41 in her set from 2022. Schaal slaying for 21:14 at Comedy Central's full set "Making Love to George Washington. 2010ish I think??

Writing letters to elected officials (likely a useless gesture), and volunteering in local queer groups, but sobbing over news and social media isn't helping anything. Korean food is amazing, and I had Jap Chae after a mediocre convention I visited last weekend. The convention was mostly an excuse for people to try beat sabers, but I hate people so even that was mostly an annoying thing to suffer through while waiting for delicious sweet potato noodles and Korean beef.

In defense of goblin days, sometimes they happen. Dunno the science behind needing the occasional day of your id driving your dietary decisions, but personally I think 1 or 2 days in 30 is a nice balance for me. 🤷‍♂️

Congrats on being decisive and kind to yourself. Fingers crossed for ob-gyn surgery!!

Sorry about the fatigue and congrats on the gorgeous puppy. Funny how those two always go together. Can you share your dogfood recipe?

Paula Poundstone is a mostly forgotten slayer who made her mark in the post-cold war era of American political humor. If Hoodo Hersi is the face of Zennial comedy, Paula Poundstone is a Gen X old guard who slayed in the shadow of Jay Leno, George Carlin, and Robin Williams. A trailblazer for slayers, but sadly her 80's and 90's stand-up don't translate well anymore; jokes about airline food and LA traffic did well in their day but we've mostly moved on. I had mentally re-assigned her to a successful second career in comedy podcasts and voice acting, until I found her brilliant 2006 special. 18 years isn't exactly contemporary, but it at least translates beautifully and her crowd work kills me. Our slayer's 43:49 special from 2006, "Look What the Cat Dragged In" Our slayer's breakthrough 5:31 set on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1987.

Kept it light and wore sweats to give my leg more padding post-tattoo, just in case, but the bar contact happens over the adductors more than the quads with sumo style and I felt golden. I'm annoyed at the aphorism, "keep meditating until you can meditate," Annoyed because it's mostly accurate. After 30ish days of forced sitting, things are starting to feel good when I'm sitting. I'm grateful but I'll express that gratitude as grumbling. Weltschmerz is real. I'm open to the idea that brain chemistry post-lexapro has a non-zero amount of responsibility, but things in the news are bad.

Drum circle is amazing! Got a gen x hospice nurse that runs it and she brings a lovely grounded note to us wooly woo-enthusiasts. Houses are all potential while Liam is job hunting, but waiting doesn't feel hard while we watch American housing prices and interests rates climb to ridiculous levels; there's a planned interest rate cut in July, and a forecasted housing market price drop in November after the American Presidential election. 🤷‍♂️ Absolutely! Right?? Relatable as hell.

Beautiful plants! Latés and legends is quality. It's not like, a plotty book, or one you have to think hard about; instead it's deeply wholesome and cozy and gentle. It will make you want biscotti, fair warning.

Also, in honor of the cyber truck recall and the very concept of schadenfreude:

Micky Overman is a Dutch comedian, writer, and slayer who works as a nanny in the UK. She slays with her unique perspective on all things British, even having lived in the commonwealth for a bit where her Vancouver improv experience gave a slightly Canadian edge to her English accent. An accomplished slayer, she was a finalist in Funny Women and Leicester Square New Comedian in 2016, and in 2018 she was a Chortle Best Newcomer Nominee, and then wrote and performed her first solo show 'Role Model' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. About her career, she writes: "When I was 3 years old, I tried to impress my sister's friend Jesse by falling off my chair. I like to think my passion for comedy was ignited at the same time as my passion for boys, and as Jesse did not respond to my advances in any way, both are firmly rooted in failure."

First leg day in two weeks on Tuesday. The doms are still real, 3 days later. da fuq Cutting my duolingo-by-noon goal for the rest of the challenge. Still a behavior I want as a habit, but I'd rather enjoy the success of the other habits that are going green this month, and wait until May to work on the early duolingo habit. Went to see a cute and v modest little house on Wednesday, but our poor realtor was still recovering from a cold and accidentally walked us through a mansion that we could never afford. The raw pornography of how much space that place had, all three of us got slightly drunk on the feeling. When we finally got to the modest little house afterwards, it had no yard ✅, was across the street from Liam's jujitsu gym ✅, and was walking distance from a great park and great coffee and my drum circle ✅. Plus the neighborhood is safe enough for Laura to walk the dogs at night, if she feels like it ✅ (our dogs are pad trained so Laura can take care of them if the boys are out of town and she has an FMS flareup). Buuut it's over the boundary line into the more posh area, so it's also a budget stretch. Still nice to see the different options well before we plan to make an offer on a house later this summer. Bury Me Beneath the Willows - getting used to more rounded picks lately and enjoying the softer feel but it's def an adjustment. Banjo bob says that me learning to have a more assertive sound is pulling my beginner banjo strings out of tune mid set, and that I've maybe outgrown my beginner banjo. Makes me happy to hear but now I need to save pennies for a better banjo. Good news is with Bob's connections, I'll pay half price on a performance banjo once I have a little nest egg. Liam is at a Chicago event this weekend and I'm a bachelor. I'm torn between binging Solasta or Pillars of Eternity I. Hrm.....

been there. Sucks losing talk time but I still prefer it over the 60 mins of commuting round trip. last time I BG1’d, i did a Druid and I didn’t mind the sprite options for the class.

sigh, correct athousandwords is correct I'd wear that T-shirt
