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. #YeahRight

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. #Relic #SoDusty

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

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”.

@NanoRaptor I’ve been dragging this around with me for the last forty years. I’m afraid the disks are looooooong gone.

@CaptainFlab@libretooth.gr avatar

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 #NewJersey 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! #NJ

@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. #Ewwwww
