I have a customer service job and am usually good at it but today I found myself saying “I disagree with everything you just said” to a customer. Whoops.

I cannot do quilt math in my head and am in awe of people who can. This is me figuring out what size I want to make my mushroom quilt. Not shown: the agony of binding yardage. I know calculators exist and yet.

Mushroom quilt: finished! This one was an emotional journey, with me alternating liking it and wanting to shove it in a bag and pretend I never started it. Now that it’s done and has crinkled, I’m v pleased.

I’m normally a bit squeamish about food made in non-commercial places I don’t know well but so far today I’ve eaten a PB cookie made in someone’s house, eggrolls made in a different house, and pumpkin pie made in a church. Goodbye, goodbye

Last night I watched “The Package” (1989) and tonight “The Fugitive” (1993). Notably one actor is in both movies: the very tall bagpipe-leading guy in the feather bonnet. Is he a Chicago parade celebrity?

I just turned on YouTube on my TV to watch a @thepwhl.com game and immediately was shown an ad in Spanish telling me how to self-deport.

They tried to make us all chant "Let's go Torrent!" but it was definitely half-assed. Quick! Someone smarter than me come up with a better cheer and let's get it out there before the first game. We HAVE to do better than "Let's go Torrent."

The true generational divide is old people like me who have coffee mugs they keep at work (usually hideous) and the younger people who use the work-provided disposable ones.

Well, this leftover Halloween candy isn't going to eat itself. I hope. That would be terrifying.

Baseball, I love you, but you desperately need some new fan chants. There has to be more than "Let's go (team name)" and "oh oh oh-oh oh ohhhhh ohhhh!"

I don’t usually watch live TV, so I find myself fascinated by the commercials — especially the ad for dehydrated food cooked in a dirty pot. It’s for patriots! Patriots who don’t know what QR codes are!

@jimbrunner.bsky.social I'd read your headline today to @olivermoffat.bsky.social in admiration, not realizing it was your piece. Well, I'd shouted it. "DID YOU GIVE WATER TO A BAT AT THE ARBORETUM? IT HAD RABIES!!!!"

One of the best author events I've been to. Scalzi let us vote on if we wanted his reading to be from the novel we had all just bought, or from a new, unpublished, not-even-his-editor-had-read-it-yet book. The man knows how to work a crowd. (I am in this photo but am well hidden.)
