not much to report

quiet day
three whole loads of laundry yesterday, whoo ee. Cleaned out the cupboards above the oven. Today the other side of the kitchen. The kitchen table saw me roll out dough for cinnamon buns this morning, but there ain’t no cinnamon, so it’s chocolate-cardamom buns this morning for us. (I’d already put cinnamon on the shopping list, yay ADD)

There is an EXPLOSION THEMED PARK in FINLAND …. every time I think I can’t love Finland more, look what they do. For more details look it up on youtube.

I laughed. @sjvn
Whoever made a gator chase a laser pointer, thank you.
This isn’t funny, but it points out how hard it is to infiltrate anarchists when you’re mostly going to be commuting and making coffee for office workers

scanged from Reddit this morning
Jeff says it doesn’t work. It works fine for me. I tried resaving it under a different name, no joy. So it was a funny fart reference, I don’t know what else to say. [Jeff says: fixed that for you.]
Two loads of laundry and now to run the dishwasher.
cleaned out the storage container cupboard
also the kitchen storage next to the stove.
Weird sort of day. I wrote a bit but couldn’t settle. Also had a hella long nap, probably because I was physically tired from my walks.
Two lovely long convos with Keith and mOm. Keith’s thinking about podcasting, I think he’d be great at it.

ANOTHER walk in the park yesterday, it was lovely, I picked up trash and called the Parks department in Burnaby about maskholes pulling the signs down. Paul said he was going back to the portapotty and then peed in the bushes, TOTALLY STANDARD lol. Lots of maskholes. Piss me off. But the breeze was nice.
Cleaned out the decade+ spices, but I’ll be doing more of that today.
I bought enough fish day before yesterday for Jeff and I to get a supper out of it again, so that was pleasant.
Made cinnamon buns but they were a little doughy.
Gave the landlady the first squash off the pile of squash.
the only possible response
people can’t read
added later:
So there’s signage at Deer Lake Park equivalent to ‘walk this way’ and no, not like Aerosmith, but nobody seems able to read it. Paul and I went for a walk, saw frogs, got halibut and chips and fed ourselves and Jeff lunch.
Today I’m hoping to mount a small shopping expedition.
Advice from @Maria_Tureaud on twitter for a pitch session:
To write a Twitter pitch: 1. Who is your MC? 2. What is their normal? 3. But when X happens, MC faces *stakes so dire* 4. And then MC will/might lose Y/Z
- George
- Hiding
- Not hiding… the world practically blows up
- and then he might lose his kids
eh, doesn’t really work for me

Glorious day
I got ALEX FOR TWO HOURS
He was as good as gold. He whined at the very last minute when he realized his momma bear was going to leave and he wasn’t going to get Xenon HE LOVES XENON, but we made recordings and watched TV and I made him homemade choco milk and we laughed very very hard.
Because
before we made new recordings we listened to all of the old ones, and Alex made some noises that were excruciatingly funny and the two of us nearly choked laughing.
And we have sourdough bread thanks to Katie so YES.
Weather was lovely yesterday, it’s overcast and cooler now, also good.
I got a couple more surfaces cleared off in the kitchen.

SEE YOU IN HELL
above noted is the noted, feted and howlarious burlesque artiste Carrie Finnell. According to twitter’s @WhoresOfYore, “Carrie Finnell (1900-63) was a legend of burlesque. She had complete control of her pectoral muscles & could bounce her boobs out of her dress & move them independently of one another. She called her act ‘The Chestcapades’ & was once the highest paid burlesque act in America.”
Don’t say this isn’t an educational blog, and she’s only mentioned in Wikipedia as a member of the Mutual Burlesque Association, so don’t bother looking her up.

I want to take Lord Stanley down
with a homemade thermal lance
he had his mo’, but he’s got to go
we can’t leave it to chance
Oxy – steel wool – brake line – tubing
Now I’m waiting for the spark
& you will see that statue fall
a mile off in the dark
If you go to youtube, the single most dangerous (but cost effective, big thumbs up!) Do It Yourself thermal lance in history is there to be viewed with awe.
Inspirational!
