I like self-service checkout machines, because it means the staff can sit and gossip to themselves while getting paid, and not judge me for buying "Bluey" stickers.
(I put @sachajudd.com's sticker with my stack of Bluey stickers because this is all about my love. Of shiny metallic sad Bingo.)

Welp, I'm a casualty of #ffconf. That fall I took on the stairs on my way to the afterparty has wrecked my knee. Time for knee supports, pain killers, and a lot of swearing.

Tonight I watched "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act" (1972), the TV movie that kicked off "Emergency!".
