The President of the United States is a liar.

Hosting a brunch yesterday really was lovely. My sitcom set of a home is happier when people visit a bit more frequently than they have of late.

$5.50 well spent.

A way to gauge how much grayer I got compared to last year: Last night when I dyed my hair black it just became a brown. The same dye at least held for a few weeks last year!

Gibson, The New Yorker, and cat.

You know, I was in a good mood all week, not highly stressed, and I look forward to particulars of my upcoming calendar.

So, for now, we mark the moment while listening to Connie Francis.

Mamdani skipping the Met Gala? Fuck yes.

When the smell of seltzer attracts your cat, you can surmise his sense of smell is unusually strong.

My cat got on a bookshelf and shifted one of the volumes of Julie Andrews' autobiography. "You made Julie Andrew's flop!" I told him. "I should have called you 'Star!'"

Grazie!

This boy.

New glasses arrived today.

But also, 38% are watching this and saying “yup, there’s a clear plan”??!!!

Cozy boy.

Not proud of myself for leaving a candle lit when I went out for lunch, but glad to smell a cookie-like scent and see no erroneous flames upon my return home.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Pope Leo says 'delusion of omnipotence' is fueling U.S.-Israeli war in Iran In the first weeks of the war, the Chicago-born Leo was initially reluctant to publicly condemn the violence and limited his comments to muted appeals for peace and dialogue. But Leo stepped up his criticism starting on Palm Sunday.

The photo I snapped accidentally before reversing it to capture the cat, as intended.

I guess it is my turn in the game of fake mouse fetch.

"Trump's not conservative"

Oh no you don't. No no no no no.

I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that.

But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

The star of the evening in my view.

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

... okay.

Today my cat helped me install some westherstripping over lunch. We're bonded more, it seems, as he regards me differently. Am I a giant cat who also plays with string-like objects? Time will tell how he answers this query. (I'll probably be a blob of nourishment who doesn't play enough again soon.)

*applies generally

I look forward to following up on this period.

Whether it happens 6 hours from now, 6 days from now, 6 weeks from now, 6 months from now, or 6 years from now, it will be one of the largest worldwide celebrations in the history of the human race.

To will myself to stay up for "SNL," I am making sauce.

A touch of disappointment from which I can recover quickly? No problem. One evening of a bit of self indulgence? Sure.

Thankful for the rain breaking 88% humidity, which was starting to make an early spring evening suddenly feel oppressive.

Cooking dinner.
