The Smithereens (with Belinda Carlisle): “Blue Period”

A criminally under-appreciated band.

@flexghost Not the original version, but she absolutely crushes it. Such a wonderful voice. https://youtu.be/Kp9G0zkorio

@flexghost I have always loved this song: Bad Company’s “Silver, Blue, and Gold”. https://youtu.be/xdvI4G11eBk

Hopefully this will be my last one tonight.

The AirBnB we’re renting has fleas in the carpets. The host is here spraying them and the area rugs. I am not loving this.

At my in-laws’ house getting started on the long process of clearing it out. Found this gem from 1998 being used as a monitor stand. It’s about 2.5” (65mm) thick and holds dozens of literal bookmarks.

Side view to give some sense of scale to just how thick the book is.
Dozens of bookmarks visible along the top edge.

I can parallel park like a fucking boss, but when I’m comes to backing in like this, I’m useless. We still talk about this incident.

Today, I submitted my book 367 days after signing the contract. It has been an intense, exciting, boring, distressing, depressing, and uplifting process. A bit of everything over a year, but I'm so proud of myself for pushing through. The book will be out in 2025.

Now, to figure out what to do with my time and my hands...

@kristiedegaris Drums seem like a good (and remarkably convenient) idea for keeping your hands—and feet—busy.

Normalize using the lesser-known but perfectly acceptable counterparts of common words, all of which are in Merriam-Webster:

feckful, the opposite of feckless. "chiefly Scottish," but let's change that.

ruthful, the opposite of ruthless

trepid, the opposite of intrepid

@eribosot When asked “How are you” my standard answer has always been “Wonderless”.

The Somerset Patriots is a minor league baseball team in north Jersey. For three games this summer they are changing their name to celebrate one the things for which is best known: The Jersey Diners. It’s a brilliant piece of marketing that I could not help but get behind. I ordered a cap and pin and they threw in a paper hat for free—just like the kind that is traditionally worn by diner staff. It’s also what their mascot wears (see my cap). Nice touch, folks!

@skrishna I hear ya. That was me last week. Days 1 and 2 were bad enough, but day 3 (and half of day 4) flattened me. Everything hurt, coughing all the time, sneezing, and fatigue. Tested negative for COVID all the way through. After six days I was finally past it. Hopefully your bout will be more merciful to you!

    For those of you who are in the 'lunch' timezone, what are you having ? For me, it's a hot bowl of minestrone soup.

    @dancinyogi My breakfast was late enough to qualify as brunch, so: vegetarian sausage & cheese sandwich and a lovely cup of coffee. It’s my last sick day before going back to work, so I’m kinda indulging.

    Now has come the time in my recovery where I begin to liberate much of the “material” that had settled along the walls of my upper respiratory tract, one mighty coughing fit at a time.
