You gave your crush a mixtape; I curated a 240-minute guided sonic experience with skits and interludes on MiniDisc for my best friend that required her to also carry around a MiniDisc player. We are not the same.

The Artemis crew landing is going to be like a reverse-Harambe and things will start to get better.

Everything's fine, they're adding five more minutes to the Doomsday Clock. It's currently 11:62

There were like five years in my 20's when all my friends were getting married I had a suit but now that I'm in the funeral era I don't bother. I'm being flown up to MA to testify in court next month for my dad's trial and I'm 50/50 whether I'm even going to wear a dress shirt.
I'll bring one of our famous Potomac river perch to the reading!
Only food from home I genuinely miss is a Steak and Cheese from D'angelos and that's just because the worst D'angelos is better than the best sandwich place here in DC (that's not an invitation for people to pipe up with DC places; I've been here for 20 years and I've had every goddamned one.)
