Ordered Indian food last night. I shouldn’t have but I love butter chicken.

I’m sleepy, but Paul and I got out for a walk and I ran the dishes and now Jeff and I are going to watch Elementary.
Lentil soup for brekky, and when Paul came over I made him a jalapeño havarti and cucumber toasted bagel, and tea, which he devoured as is his wont.
Starting to think that a trip to Victoria should happen sooner rather than later.
Fanfic is 9400 words. If only I could care about Upsun, but I can’t bring myself to do it.

Katie and Alex came over and we watched the Pompeii short animation, and the five most deadly volcanoes video and he played Xenon (‘the tube shot is my favourite’ he said earnestly) and Katie and I talked for a while and it was lovely lovely lovely and he gave me a little hug on the way out the door and he’s missing his two front teeth and he looks like a wee longhaired pumpkin and he had a Captain America shirt and Minecraft socks.

Heard from Mike last night, it was SO good to hear his voice. I’ve been out of my house more than he has in the last week, which is tragic.
this coffee table book is currently trending on Twitter
mOm and pOp of course recognize it – it’s been floating around their living room since the year it was published. At the time, the concept did not exist – that hundreds of photographers, professional and otherwise, were supposed to go forth and take a picture on the same day for curation and collection as a snapshot of the zeitgeist.
Since then, dozens upon dozens of books have been published along this theme, for dozens of countries. This kind of omnibus album became popular.
People have been posting pics from inside the book and making hilarious, occasionally anxious comments about them. It’s great. And that poor cat. And what is the baseball for? is she going to talk to the priest about his handsiness? it looks like a confirmation dress…
and Canada, it was qwhite something then
Also from social media, figureoutthesea AKA Nicolas Demers on Instagram took this at Deer Lake – quite the action shot eh??? He has tons of amazing bird photos, the abovenoted link goes to his blog with better res pics hint hint mOm.

Me singing “Buy me a beer” at the company Christmas party when I dyed my hair and was still employable.
Lots of Laundry yesterday. A couple of months back I instituted Jeff and I using different hand towels to dry off after we wash our hands, trying not to pass any illnesses that come into the house off to each other. True that COVID is virtually never transferred off objects, but there’s still tons of shit that is hand transferred, especially foodborne stuff. It adds about two minutes to my laundry duties cause there are two washrooms and we both use both of them.
Also, Jeff installed a bidet downstairs. I have dubbed it Neptune’s kiss.
Watching the new Perry Mason show, finding it quite entertaining and better set up than many, many prequels.
Stayed up late last night, I have no idea why. I feel kinda bleary this morning.
Calling the doc tomorrow, trying to start this whole test thing up again.
My new mattress has arrived. I need to open up the box and let it offgas for a while.

Someone really useful on twitter just blocked me because I ‘sexualized their feed’ well THEY WERE THE ONE TALKING ABOUT SLOPPING DOWN FORTY GALLONS OF HUMMUS lands’ sakes. That has nothing to do with this:
Wikipedia editor MN070 is responsible for this gem, which has probably already been edited back out, but isn’t it a sweetie? someone with a lot of neck in Irish slang is a chancer, someone with a lot of nerve, who takes liberties….

I made an online order. They said they delivered the printer ink… it was a yoga mat. I did actually order a yoga mat, but the one they sent is the size of a bum imprint. I am not confused and angry! I am just confused!

Bee democracy. I think I want to read that book. Did I tell you Lois and Bob have bees. They had an empty hive and put attractant in it a couple of years ago, no dice. Then this year a swarm appeared and moved in. Now we know how they made the decision! By consensus!

Okay so in this picture of two merged transit ads, there was a KFC ad underneath and a VW car ad on to…. the mashup, with the corporate logos on either end, reads as follows:
A car powered on ~ free range chickens
& designed by a team ~ of hand picked potatoes
Experience driving on ~ Mushrooms & Coke

I died when I saw this. It’s a picture of a man dressed in ice cream cone – as in, looking exactly like a man sized cartoon-eyed ice cream cone – taking a selfie in the BR store bathroom with the legend “How tf am I essential worker”

ok my knees hurt, but not that much.
Honestly, even though he posts lots of other interesting stuff, the bedrock reason I follow @TheTattooedProf (Kevin Gannon) is because of this darned cute little dog Lulu, the little dog of a mutt&jeff pair. (The other dog is Huge.) The expression on this dog’s face when the smoker is going (MEETS BOX?? MEETS BOX!!) is very funny; they well know that smell is associated with excellently yummy meat.
My current mattress was seven years old YAY I HAVE A BLOG so I can keep track of stuff like this and I want, need and deserve a better mattress and why not, it got fourteen years of wear since I never get out of bed. I
I have already ranted about my complete lack of getting any goddamned testing done today – to mOm, on the phone, but the gist is the req was refused because the doc was insisting I needed a pregnancy test. So all that effort wasted. Walked home, realized I’m almost out of prescribed medication. After a cheering and calming conversationâ„¢ with a pharmacist I will strap muh walkin’ shoes back on in a few minutes and go and get an emergency supply sufficient to get me through until the doc gets back from vacation.
Damn, that salad I made is at peak comestibility. The flavours ran together but the textures stay perky. NOM.
Receipt:
quarter cup sweet onion chopped not too fine
one red pepper de pithed and chopped not too fine but not too big, either, and squarish
half of an english cuke peeled and chopped into palpable bits
as many pitted black olives as look fancy without killing the vibe
as many bocconcini pearls (pearls being the same thing as bocconcini just teeny) as you can bear to part with since the wee fuckers are so damned expensive —— but they make a lovely break from the rest of the textures
a heaping teaspoon of drained capers (optional)
two small tomatoes, deseeded and chopped not too fine because frens I detest tomato seeds. I know without them, no tomatoes, but I dinna wan them in me wame.
Receipt ends:
