Damn good shit

#HappyHolidays!

A bottle of Disaronno on the left, a half-drunk glass of amaretto sour on the right.

YESSSS
I have been desperately wanting a copy of this book for literal DECADES

My 25-year-old bootleg version I photocopied back in my undergrad days is literally falling to bits
(This was one of the books I'd included in my planned Grand U.P. Main Library Heist of 2001 before they put in barcodes and doorway scanners)

If you've been involved in #FanStudies for as long as I have, (and also have beef with #Amazon), you know how important this text is.

"Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like we're living in a bad cyberpunk novel from the 1980s?
"It's because these guys read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a dystopia for a road map. They're rich enough to bend reality to reflect their desires."

Watching The Last Voyage of the Demeter on the recommendation of one of my students:

"Oh miss, it's so bad, you're gonna hate it!"

Well, don't threaten me with a good time, then

I'm not even gonna attempt to poke the "BEES. SO MANY BEES" that is the 80-odd years of Israeli-Palestinian "relations", but if this is true, then Bibi Netanyahu and Hamas are even bigger venal, fascist, and corrupt warmongering fools than I ever gave them credit for
I mean, what kind of tit-arsed logic is this insane and CLEARLY unsustainable apartheid policy based on?

/also, US-based news is near-unwatchable at the moment

Back before the apocalypse, my mom and I used to go to all these classical music concerts around the city, because I liked recitals, and she liked recitals, it was Our Thing.

I should start going to recitals again.

When one watches these films or tv shows where the good guy ends up leveling a gun at the bad guy and the bad guy taunts them that they don't have the guts to kill them
Look, all I'm saying that it doesn't have to be this zero-sum moral dilemma
Just shoot them in the kneecaps
Or better yet, the balls

/sorry, just watched too many stupid movies today while incapacitated on my Bed of Pain

Nothing like waking up in the best mood you've ever been in in the past--oh I dunno, 6 weeks?--and making yourself the biggest breakfast of very buttery scrambled eggs and toast, and then actively considering cleaning up the garden you've neglected for the last two months. It's upswing season again!

Spaghetti all'assassina, 1.0. Because the pasta is not pre-boiled but instead tossed directly into the hot pan with garlic and chili flakes in olive oil, the texture is thicker because of the unwashed-away starch, even though it is eventually boiled into pomodoro sauce. Interesting.

That said, needs more spice. And salt.

Yesterday was #StarTrekDay and I MISSED IT 😭

The #LowerDecks season 4 premiere is making me horribly nostalgic and now I must rewatch #Voyager
(which has IMHO the best of all the ST series opening theme tunes FIGHT ME)

So this will be #StarTrek Weekend Bingewatch with Bonus Knit-along instead

Enough yarn for two, quite possibly 3 projects

I could've ordered these online and piecemeal BUT NO, I AM A CHILD THAT WANTS THINGS NOW

NO. EQ. WHATSO. FUCKING. EVER.

Thank you Ms Trey of Gantsilyo Guru Selections for helping me with picking out the right colors AND weight for my rainbow-themed thingy!

I never quite know if #BulwerLytton is actually in earnest or if it's a years-long troll, because some of these are hilarious and I wouldn't mind reading the rest of these

Or maybe I just unironically love bad fiction

"She was a beautiful woman; more specifically she was the kind of beautiful woman who had an hourlong skincare routine that made her look either ethereal or like a glazed donut, depending on how attracted to her you were."

Had a mad idea again and threw out the entire 6th module of my Intro to World Lit class (last minute again, because I live on the edge)

Making it pure SF this time, so because I'm thinking of including #PhilipKDick's short story #WeCanRememberItForYouWholesale on the roster, I'm rewatching #TotalRecall with Arnold Schwarzenegger
(not the soulless 2012 remake, thanks)

1/3 Oho, new-ish BDO bank #scam?

Just got a call from an unknown number +639485042871 🚩 from a woman who asked if I had already received a call from BDO regarding the updating of my credit card, 🚩 informing me that I had P5k worth of unclaimed reward points from cc usage that is convertible to cash 🚩 but to claim them I needed to verify my account by giving her the LAST FOUR DIGITS of my account number 👀👀👀 🚩🚩🚩
