I stopped studying the cello. I started studying Arabic. I grew up on the other side of the middle of nowhere and am an inveterate urban dweller now. I like mathematics, fountain pens, and TTRPGs. https://sidewalks.meangrape.com

Thank g-d you marked that as satire. I was worried it really happened until I got to the end.

If I can’t have pie then, oddly, pasta sounds good. And I have a bunch of dried pasta in ::goes to count:: eleven different shapes…

Jay. @meangrape.com · 8h

I never have pie when I want pie u less it’s the day after Thanksgiving, or I’m in Manhattan. I could dump sugar on blackberries and eat it with pita, I guess.

Transhuman ship pilot that can only disembark in android bodies. Friendly hive mind that doesn’t understand why you wouldn’t want to be assimilated. Multidimensional building: you go through a door & going back takes you to a different room or a forest. Flashing blue lights are also cool.

I’m at the stage where pseudoephedrine is doing stuff, but it’s not making things better yet, it’s still making them worse

My daughter wears a 13 AAA and it was a multi year quest to get her some that fit. We bought two pairs.

Ok, fountain pen feed, I’ve scrolled back through you to yesterday & that’s all I’m going to catch up with. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything too exciting.

I have about a pound of habaneros. I need to make salsa. It would be good for my sinuses.

My local megamart always has matzah for Pesach, but it’s never kosher l’pesach.

Maybe I’ll take a trip to NYC next year to pick out an etrog.

I would have been right there with you shaking my lulav and etrog

I got up and took some tylenol. I don’t feel any better. This is bullshit.

Jay. @meangrape.com · 1d

I know that getting up to take some tylenol might make me feel better, but getting up to take some tylenol would require a lot of energy. I’m tired of being sick.

I’m just going by the instructions. Poke it with a fork a few time and let’er rip

And then all the air in the squash cavity gets hot, expands, forcefully explodes, and destroys my microwave in an orgy of squashy violence

Not everything needs empirical testing.

I should be able to go to sleep. This is so unfair.
