The Substance is hard to watch, even as someone who doesn’t have too many anxieties about the aesthetics of aging.

I am so mad. We have to do a government shutdown, go through all manner of layoffs.

And we don’t even get a year off Fleet Week?

Those look like the perfect chewy insides with crispy edges.

And clean my living area?

Do I just shove all the mess into the bedroom?

Another case of nostalgia being better than the real thing.

I’d like to think legitimate cinnabons taste better. But I’m waiting until it’s damned convenient to test out this theory.

Wendy’s changed their fries and nobody told me???

I realize I’m working with like 10 year old information. But I am still disappointed. They had the fries that held up best going all the way home.

I’ve done my entire tax filing on my iPad. Including researching all my health costs because therapy is a GIANT deduction for me.

I kinda feel like, as a tax professional I should be more… professional?

But getting on the computer during the weekend should be illegal.

Don’t get me wrong. He’s absolutely gross at actually listening to people, especially the manager. Wants to make her job so miserable she quits. Or fired if unsuccessful. Wants to hire his ex-wife, a REALTOR, to be our property manager.

So he’s got a long way to go.

OMG. The annoying Board Member actually made some good points.

Not in an argument. Just listing the questions we need to go over with our attorney - so a lot of questions other Board Members would bring up.

But I’m still a little proud that he’s learning how to work with people, not at people.

Okay. I did. Mentally subtracting the absurd up-charge to my monthly savings of not having a car.

Still coming out on top.

Apparently Wendy’s (which is too far to get to, but not DoorDash) has the pull apart Cinnabon cups.

Then to figure out what else you order and then figure out the correct order to eat it all based on freshness.

I will probably not do it. But I am making plans for the next time.

When I visit Sam & Dee we’ll go to Olive Garden or Applebees.

Of course I’m always disappointed Applebees is a poor substitute for Chilis.

I am usually glad I can live somewhere without needing a car.

Then I get a hankering from some real suburban shit. That is not on any bus line.

Today it is Cinnabon. And if someone else in the Bay Area wants to go, I can comp you up to eleventy Cinnabons.

I was like, I should get an inflatable costume. For politics.

And then I briefly imagined being trapped in one and died. I would spend the entire time taking it off and putting it back on, just to prove I wasn’t stuck.

Oh you mean serious Chris Parnell.

Staying up past bedtime watching Freaky Tales.

Nice slice of Oakland for those not all in at Pedro Pascal.

I specifically spent 5 minutes looking at some chocolate chip cookie dough before moving on.

Past Rachelle was a stupid bitch. I am not speaking to her again.

Another thing about L & O forces Hugh Dancy to play a monster without being interesting in any way.

Aww. I thought they were planning on 5.

But hopefully it’s enough time to land the plane.

I can’t decide what I’m in the mood for so I’m switching between grapes and leftover pizza.

You would be correct if your assessment was “Those can’t possibly pair well together.”

Aww. Thanks. I think it’s more the estrangement side of things that freak me out.

I just realized my name could be spookified as reich hell.

But that might be too dark for the times.
