Hospital cafeteria food is exactly as dire as it looks on tv. I arrived at opening and the coffee is cold. This egg sandwich is limp enough that I need to fold it like a slice of New York pizza. I yearn for a Macdonald’s. #ChroniclesOfWaiting

Someday I will become able to identify a hangover earlier than ‘5 hours into the day wondering why my stomach feels so tragic.’
Today my boss referred to a vendor as ‘those fuckers’ three times in one conversation so you can guess how the contract negotiations are going. (SO glad that’s not my job.)
YES I napped on @temvald.bsky.social’s shoulder between acts, NO I am not sorry.

Hello and welcome to the Friday Drunk Wife Guy Opinion Hour. Today’s opinion number 1: soap shouldn’t smell like anything. Number 2: when someone is wrapped up in blankets like a burrito you have no choice but to love them, I don’t make the rules. That’s all for tonight, Drunk Wife Guy OUT.

ah yes i forgot about Augustine's De Civitate Dei Contra Snoozos
Have just encountered Meta AI glasses in the wild (corporate office elevator) for the first time. Man wearing them to his friend: “It’s great because on the golf course you can go ‘hey Meta, how far is that hole?’” I’ve never seen a face so punchable.
Hey has anyone made a good oral history of the founding of AO3? I was just thinking about the very patchy memories I have of how it got started (I was friends of friends of friends of people who started it, EXTREMELY ignorant) and I wondered if someone's already done the work of...well archiving lol

leupagus@leupagus.bsky.social · 2w agoSee, this is a "get to know me" meme I can get behind! Loot that drops after defeating me: *crystal nail file *travel-sized sunscreen stick *double-ended knitting needle bent in a U to use as a hairpin *tube of anti-chafing gel *pair of wool socks *flask-shaped water bottle
Had a professional cleaning service to come in after the plaster dust situation and friends, my house has never been so clean. Possibly cleaner than when we moved in. My jaw fucking dropped.
Am delighted (and unsurprised) to discover that both @temvald.bsky.social and I can sing along with every word to Weird Al’s The Saga Begins.
Overheard: “A premium cocktail is THIRTY FOUR dollars?” Oh sweet child, this is the TD Garden, I’m surprised the Bud Light isn’t $34. (The Bud Light is $18.99)
