There's a sort of fun in having some bit of hardware break in a way which would have been completely fatal, if not for the trivially easy fix (in this case drilling a single hole and inserting one screw) someone posted online, like, sixteen years ago.

Earlier today, I actually liked how I looked in the mirror. Enough to take a picture!
But the picture didn't capture the thing I liked, and I accidentally destroyed the effect by running my fingers through my beard, and now it will never happen again!

(I looked like Marx. It was great!)

My niece has proclaimed that my brother's new cat's name shall be Captain Meow Meow.

Our A/C stopped working sometime last night. The only silver lining is that it happened in our first week of 80-degree weather rather than during the 100+ streak of over two months this summer.

Some days are just days when you go out to buy motor oil but come back with a one kilo bag of frozen clams.

We were at the bank forwarding some Christmas monies to folks and as we were leaving, a short lady walking in turned to us and said "Hey you guys want to see something cute!" and before we could have the chance to be confused she unzipped her rather large purse/tote and a lil green-eyed yellow-tone tabby poked their face out and d'awwww.

I'm not sure I've ever been so randomly yet perfectly targeted before. SHOW ME ALL THE KITTIES AND DOGGOS, YES.

why can't that happen to meeeeeeeee

As an early Christmas present, kiddo and I both got that cold that's been going around lately.

I was taking the bus home and a little kid in a corner seat tilted his head skyward and just blurted out a brobdingnagian AWOOOOOO. After getting scolded by him mom he stopped... for a few seconds, before continuing quietly.

I had my mask on so all you could really see were my smiling eyes, but I'm sure I didn't help by looking at the kid and similarly tilting my head upwards in "reply" each time he awoooo'd.

I'd like to know who decided the best way to change the headlight for a 2008 Honda Fit was to go through a cramped little hole peeled open in the wheel well lining. I thought we learned our lesson with the Dodge Intrepid, but I guess time is a nightmare and nothing is ever learned.

sliced my finger open badly enough that i had to go get four stitches put in

it is pretty unpleasant

i am probably going to be typing in all lowercase for a while because hitting the shift key is something i normally do with the finger that's in a splint right now

my finger be bussin, no caps fr fr

You know I've had a decent life by many measures, and there's so many worse things to endure*, but all the same I think we've kind of had enough of this "Get the rona once a year or so, haha." shit.

(too bad it's never going to stooooop)

*including the rona without four vaccinations in us.

Yeaaaaah, this shit ^ can fuck right off.

I don't know precisely how, but as far as I'm aware I've managed to never get Covid. Probably helped by the fact that I'm antisocial, don't go out in public often, and I've been masked most of the time that I do go out.

Pretty much the same, but that doesn't seem to have saved us here.
