We are rewatching The Closer and I think this episode might be the best one. Two bodies fell out of a coffin in front of church and then the wedding that’s scheduled can’t go through with their plan and the bride assaults Brenda Leigh. This is just the opening of the episode.

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.

Rolling Stone cover picturing Chappell Roan (in pale white porcelain doll makeup), leaning her head on Olivia Rodrigo's shoulder, with Doechii leaning over Olivia's other shoulder. Olivia has a daisy in her mouth. Sarah McLachlan is leaning over them like she's descending from orbit.

Something on insta reminded me of when a former friend and I were out shopping at IKEA and I picked up a throw pillow that I liked but put it back down since the pattern was one that could trigger my wife’s migraines. My friend asked if I liked and and I explained. Then she looked at me and said…

My wife mentioned around an hour ago that she needed a pair of mules, and so I went hunting online and I got her these, on sale, and selling out. Total score. Calfskin upper.

Blue calfskin mules. Foxy AF.

Really love having some maintenance company come on the property scraping the parking lot with some sort of metal tool and using a leaf blower this time of night. There was also a very loud work vehicle/truck — cannot figure out why it was so loud. A very loud rumble noise.

Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head.
