I’m in denial about the end of summer, which is easy to do when it’s sweaty-three degrees at ten in the morning, but the calendar puts us about eight or nine weeks out from that first morning where you wake up and think “it’s a bit chilly this morning” and reach for the hoodie instead of the shorts.

I spent five hours last night hacking together a thing to do a thing I don’t actually need to but it’s fine because my hobby is solving problems I don’t have so that I don’t have time to dwell on the problems I do.

It turns out that I just had to keep reading the book and she eventually got around to yeeting the dude to the curb so I didn’t have to figure out manifesting him into a ditch on the other side of the world and that was nice.

I was trying to work out plans for a very bad idea (go see Chvrches in Seattle, Portland, Spokane, and maybe Boise in a few weeks) but couldn’t swing the logistics and that’s probably for the best since I’m probably about to spend a bunch of money filling tech gadget shaped holes in my soul.

I got a text back from my brother a few weeks ago. Life changing news, let’s catch up, etc. Radio silence. Life, the universe, and everything and all that. So it goes.

It’s a weird time over here. Hope you’re doing all right.

really trying to focus on the less shitty aspects of the dark season like being outside at sunset more often since it’s so goddamn early in the day and it only being a couple months until the days start getting longer again I started last night’s nonsense around midnight so it was like five am when I went to bed and at 0730 my brain was like ‘hey boss it’s seven thirty you wanna wake up?’ and I’m like fuuuuukk youuuuu but only managed a couple more hours it also turns out there’s a sequel coming out where she’s maybe actually bi? (I’m talking about the book from last week from which the dude was yeet [yeeted?]) a weird time existentially anyhow

Me: Please include a fork so I don’t have to eat the salad with my hands.
Panera: If you cared about the planet you wouldn’t but okay, sure, whatever.
Also Panera: Here’s your giant plastic container of salad with two plastic cups of dressing and your fucking plastic wrapped plastic fork, and here, have a plastic wrapped plastic knife and plastic wrapped plastic spoon too. Oh, and your large plastic cup with plastic lid and plastic straw.

100% of this post is a complaint about Panera (not the food. the salad was fine. but the messaging in their app was 🙄) how about getting your own 'unnecessary waste' in check before giving me grief about asking for utensils
