Career bookseller, that guy with the loud shirt from Cody’s, when it was. I’ve left Threads and the Twitterverse, so life is a little simpler these days. I firmly believe life should have a soundtrack.
It was this, or Eileen’s cover of These Boots Were Made for Walking, from Orphan Black.

But, in the end, this is the OG of German covers.

I love the fact that she accessorized her dress to the chair.

“In the UK” is redundant. It’s a universal truth. Career US bookseller here, confirming this. Looking forward to my next life as a beneficent wealthy donor. Or pampered puppy, either will do.

Hopefully, Carol Day, December 21st, is now a part of your permanent holiday celebration schedule.

I know, I have a surprising number of recent beautiful women with stunning figures and no posts who’ve found and followed me. An occasional “like” would be nice, if you’re going to be there anyway.

Blue & green, the colors of “l’ll nap right here, thank you.”

New thread, 5 concerts where you had no idea what you were walking into but ended up changing your life. Now THATS one that’ll take some thought.

It goes on. Memories, tinnitus, and hearing aides, they were great times.

It would take 10 to do this right, but 5 formative, apologies to the dozens who helped ruin my hearing but live in my heart-

Zappa, Bowie, Ramones, Laurie Anderson, Andre Segovia

& I’m calling this “5 Formative Concerts”, otherwise, it would take 10 to describe me.

But there are stupid people, who won’t listen to your patient answers to their questions, and go off and do what they were going to do anyway.

Making sure you actually got it! They both thought it was way past time, & you might just duck out again.

Gochujang has become our go-to flavor base, for everything. Bigger tubs, more often. That, and chili crisp. Not the fancy gourmet stuff from chefs, cheap stuff from Asian markets.

Turns out, I wasted half my life.

With you on that. A nice Tom Collins in the Nordic glass from that other post would go nicely. Some Ritz crackers with cream cheese & Major Grey’s chutney. Carrot sticks.

Just sticking to the theme.
