New rule: for some N TBD, if a show/film wants to do an Nth season/sequel, regardless of genre, setting, story so far, or anything else, that season/sequel must be about a sentient cheeseburger who drives a '77 Pacer, runs a multinational conglomerate, and develops an obsession with the lead.

I upgraded the firmware on Floorence the Machine the other day and she's finishing about 30% more quickly. This *might* be a positive side effect of some nav improvements, but here's the thing. She isn't updating the cleaning map so I can verify she's hitting everything. If this were a heist film,

I knew I worded this poorly when writing it but opted to be lazy and not fix it and on reread that was a dumb choice. I was trying to say that not having any interaction at all, online or real, is fine by me, but psychology disagrees. Hence me using social media.
A big reason I use social media is because if I don't, it basically doesn't occur to me to interact with anyone outside of this house. Fine by me, but the psychology party line is that's Really Bad, so I defer to the so-called experts because what do I know. But should I?

I love auto-generated video captions. "Surprisingly, he also told investigators he had a living girlfriend at the time."

Why must 90% of my ideas be ludicrously far outside my brain's competency? Why must I spend so much time every day taunting myself with a need for fulfillment I'll never be able to achieve?

Hello Kitty's new pickup.

Except the new pickup is still sitting on the workbench. This is the same model, but white, and I didn't realize I had it. I apparently installed it in her 9 years ago and replaced it 3 weeks later because???

The other day I ran into someone I haven't seen since before Brain Went South. I feel like shit after those conversations. "What have you been up to?" "Oh, you know, having a blast being nothing but a shell of a person, just trying to keep myself distracted until the earth reclaims me."

I was going through my guitar parts stash looking for a volume pot and...you know that new pickup I bought for Hello Kitty the other day? I found that same model of pickup. According to receipts and photos I apparently bought it 9 years ago, installed it in HK, and swapped it out 3 weeks later?

I see people complaining all day every day about how unusable google search is and how it keeps failing them. As someone who stopped using it in 2018 for that reason, I feel like I'm missing something. Do these people all have a gun pointed at their head forcing them to use google for search?

The more closely I look at parts of Hello Kitty where wood was removed, the more convinced I am that a lot of this guitar was made by a beaver.

They were made in Indonesia, which is the absolute cheapest of the cheap Fender/Squier factories. That just makes me love her character more.

I don't have any treatment-resistant problems with the traditional parts of my bipolar, but I'm still amused at the idea of shrooming to help my cognition. I'd have to stock up on some more Ozric Tentacles albums first.

One of the cons of having a lot of hobbies and interests is I see an awful lot of people traveling the hobby-to-religion pipeline.

My thoughts feel so incredibly clear and organized and important until I start putting them into words and then I'm like, nope, it's all huurrrrr durrrrr. They are profoundly inconsequential to humanity. Which doesn't actually bother me, I just wish I could stop having them in that case.

I had assumed that Hello Kitty's new pickup would go in without fuss, but I ran into a couple of snags. Fixed the first one, but now I'm gonna have to route the pickup cavity deeper in order to properly seat the pickup. Do I still have a router? I don't know! It's been years.

Last view of Hello Kitty with her current pickup. It's been fun having her wired up for several years to be \m/ ~metal~ \m/, but her musical tastes are maturing and she needs more depth and range to her sound.

I can never remember the name of the place where I buy my ebooks, so I just call it Kokomo.
I can never remember the name of the place we buy our music from, so I just call it Qdoba.

Watching a video involving a girl with one of those heaven-spelled-backwards names. I feel that's really phoning in child naming. At least do an anagram or something. Take, i dunno, Stephanie, and transform that into...uh...Hate Penis. OK maybe not that one. What about... Anti Sheep.

Going out tomorrow for new Hello Kitty pickup. It's merely a coincidence that one of the very few models this company makes available in white (and thus goes well with HK's face) is the one I actually want anyway.
