Made it in and out of an absolutely slammed Safeway quickly with the only downside being "Feliz Navidad" playing as I walked out of the store. It will now occupy my brain during any quiet moments for the foreseeable future.

If the spices and presentation are more in line with kruidnoten (gingerbread adjacent and definitely no anise) but the consistency is more pepernoten (chewy, which kruidnoten definitely is not), which do I call it?
This will bother me until all of the cookies are gone.

I know the season isn't even halfway through, but I'm delighted to see Hearts at the top of the table. I'm honestly just thrilled not to see Celtic or Rangers.

Just lying here watching the sky towards town light up like a lightning storm and waiting for one of the neighbor's trees (because it's always one specific neighbor's trees) to knock out our power.

If the road at Ecola State Park doesn't close due to a landslide, was it really a rain event? 🤔

Archival research feels like it’s full of these, but then there’s always one throwback archive with a microfiche machine or a paper catalogue (or, indeed: NARA)

I'm not sure exactly what hard mode would be for me, as we had two VCRs by the time I was six (and a video rental store was one of the first businesses when entering town), which means I'd seen more than one movie six times by the age of seven.

Having been asleep most of the last four days, I just started up the MLS cup match. Watched twenty seconds straight of nothing but Messi's fucking face and, knowing the outcome of the match, deleted the recording.

Awhile back some mutual somewhere in my feeds was all FUCK YEAH CHEAP CHEX AT SAFEWAY (emphasis possibly mine) and just FYI, if you add all of the relevant digital coupons this week you can get four boxes for five dollars.
Which seems good?

This did hold true as Love & Rockets and Tones on Trail bookended the Top 5. I did not listen to music on Spotify much after March, so the two days I listened to Radiohead's output chronologically last February was enough to put them in fourth. Also Depeche Mode and The Walkmen because of course.
Pretty sure that if my annual Spotify Top 5 were calculated right now it would look like I have the biggest hard on for Daniel Ash.

One of those weird things I do is check in on the Deep Space Network as I find watching us still communicating with the Voyager spacecraft to be oddly comforting and uplifting.

What happened to the Tombstone camera?
WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?!?
I know it was offline a few weeks ago so I gave it awhile to be fixed and now it's GONE FROM THE MAP.
I am lying on the couch gesturing wildly in the air with anguish this is not ok I hate it.

Early autumn: cannons (vineyards), frogs.
Mid autumn: leaf blowers & chainsaws (burn season).
Late autumn: helicopters (Christmas tree harvest).
This is not a complaint, though the leaf blowers and that one neighbor's lawn mower can get fucked.
