yan can cook! and i loved it!

they're around here and there but the food network used to be chock a block with them. i miss that. and the travel channel.

you know what blows my mind? Julia Child and MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING was a tv staple for decades and now you'd be hard pressed to find a cooking tv show that isn't a competition

This is a horror.

i love the book i'm writing just SO MUCH, i am scared outta my mind it's gonna die on query/sub

one day, i will stop doing the thing where i prefer to be sad about missing out on stuff because i'm afraid that if i do something, it'll be worse than anticipated. going to events! watching movies! eating pretty food! one day i will actually do a thing and be okay if it's sub-par!

i'm just never gonna be the kind of person who can while away hours, casually, after i have to check out from a hotel room but BEFORE an evening flight. i just go to the airport. it's so much easier.

it was so brutal. i'm so sorry.

she was fighting an absolutely uphill battle, but she is cool as hell.

she was technically a rescue, but i'm pretty certain she was full-blooded chow.

she died in march of 2020, right after lockdown started. she stopped eating suddenly and i couldn't take her to the vet because nothing was open. i miss her so much.

why should they choose my little neighborhood? they shouldn't! but in my heart! i want it!

the dominoes near my house went tits up and i think this is the perfect opportunity for Frank Pepe's to open a west coast location.

Paula and Pauline really don't make the rounds anymore, and it's a damn shame.

I've had to change my main character's name a few times in this draft (which is annoying) but going through popular names lists really makes you realize how few kids there are named Donna anymore.

I had to read a lot of JCO in both high school and college, and talk about someone still fitting for the times!

there are few people in the world who deserve every bad thing that happens to them, and alex jones is one of them

may he experience, at minimum, constant displeasure for the rest of his days

i know exactly what's happening but the lady who was making a doctor's appointment on the phone for me just kept apologizing for it taking so long and i'm like, ma'am! you are doing me a massive service that involves like eight kinds of paperwork! it takes time! i respect you!

random, man-sized holes are ONLY ALLOWED if they are dug by enormous, man-sized gophers! people leavin' man-sized holes everywhere! what is this world coming to!

There's actually a fun story behind this: the guy who was NYC superintendent of school buildings from 1891 to 1923 was an architect who believed in holistic learning, and wanted to inspire kids to rise out of poverty by giving them a sense of the possibility of granduer through construction.

genuinely wonder who saw a reciprocating saw and thought, "holiday dinners just got easier!"

THAT LAST ONE DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!! why would you even attempt that?!?!

i just need one season of THE PITT to take place in the winter to accurately represent just *how many* people put their hands into snowblowers to de-ice them without *turning off the snow blower first*

When Republican complain about Democrats behavior, they aren't doing it in good faith. You do not have to take them seriously.
