Baltimore dilettante with a photogenic dog
Biggest lesson for Baltimore folks: watch out for shared sallyports as your QOL may to some degree be affected by how hellish the neighbors might be.
Tbird@coupedetat.bsky.social · yesterdayThe rowhouse next door has been a low-key nightmare for over a decade, due to terrible management. Now the BC rental license has lapsed and it's for sale - hoping someone less awful than the current slumlord will buy it.

Someone took the Royal Tenenbaum quote to heart in my neighborhood for a cybertruck with VA plates that was left in an accessible parking spot (no placard) for days and days ....love to see it
Turns out @spavel.bsky.social is as funny in person as he is on here
Friend couldn’t make it, so I canceled our dinner reservation, and now I’m the performative dipshit reading their book at the bar.
That hail was SO loud. And I thought Enzo disliked storms before this
Celebrated the bar's 4th anniversary this weekend. All the ups and downs and trials and tribulations - very glad we've made it this far.
Had such a great time on NYC transit, especially the buses: clean, on time, COLD a/c!
The search for comfy shoes continues got a pair of Chacos, seemed promising, but the toe loop hurts
reminds me of a past roommate, the most robotic person I ever met. Harvard grad and made sure we all knew it. Took the cheapest room in our rowhome, refused to help clean but would fly to Ireland for the weekend. Too early for AI - instead she started a venture-backed senior care company

Enzo and I met a Pyr puppy on the morning walk (sorry no pics). Five months old and already huge.
There was a little Wes Anderson intro to Days and Nights in the Forest at this morning's screening - I didn't know he helped initiate the preservation/restoration project.
Y’all. It picked up. 😅 This is why I try not to post much about this. Because who the hell knows how it all shakes out.

My partner is in a 'narrative non-fiction' books phase. So far he's read: - every single book Erik Larson's ever written - The Wager, and Killers of the Flower Moon, by David Grann - and is currently on The Burning, by Tim Madigan Any other recs?
sometimes all you can do is go along with the idea for a Point Break night with meatball subs
The jerseys you paid a premium for as part of your ticket aren’t here, but don’t worry, you can pay an additional amount of money for a separate T-shirt
One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to have things to look forward to
The power went out. After a weekend of heat, thunderstorm, and fireworks misery. And right in the middle of coloring my hair. Everything is gross
A previous iteration of our bar had this painting on the wall 25 years ago, and I am obsessed with it, even though all I have is a single blurry pic:
Damn, tix for Turnstile night at Camden Yards sure are pricey.
Lent out this dress for a friend to wear to a wedding this weekend. They've been so generous with time and hosting so it felt rly good to 'give back' just a bit via this.
Tbird@coupedetat.bsky.social · 2mo agoI obsessively researched for the perfect dress to attend my friends' wedding. Probably veered into overthinking/Doing Too Much, but I sincerely wanted to honor them and their ceremony with wearing attire that followed their palette and the atmosphere they were creating. And tbh I nailed it.
Baltimore: fireworks now at 10pm! Prep your dogs' drugs accordingly.
I may not ever be "from" Baltimore because I was not born here, but I am a Baltimorean in my heart and I know this because I have a million old petty grudges
One of our smaller scale, interactive drinks comes with a little scientific glassware beaker, and you know what, here's to borosilicate glass - they really kept on trucking. Years later, I finally have to order more, & it's b/c they got stolen, not broken.
