3 clinically depressed Ikea food products and one with a mysterious energy

Kids successfully deposited at CTY; since I have a couple hours to kill before flying home I decided to come to the plane spotting beach at the end of the LAX runways. 10/10 nerd shit and great party vibes here

Thankfully Covid has not prevented me from taking the kids to CTY in LA today. They’re pumped for three weeks of cryptology nerd math class (Kai) and marine ecology (Miro)

This is incredible context for the newest entries to my running “English loan words spotted in the wild in italiano” (“stalker” also making an appearance here)

The silver lining to this is that TIL that the Italian word for hater is hater.

And they are DELICIOUS, an all time favorite of mine. You can (and should) buy them from literal nuns at I Segreti del Chiostro in Palermo

Or sometimes you're Sicilian and think it's totally appropriate to eat virgin's tits with your nanna:

Cassatella di sant'Agata - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Just imagine this being the last thing you see in life and you’ll know how the random moths and flies around our house feel (well, when she doesn’t miss, which is actually kinda rare bless her heart)

I always feel like an absolute jackass when I order pasta for delivery from a restaurant bc I can easily cook circles around any pasta place that does delivery in this whole damn town. But on some days one simply Cannot and a large pile of carbs is the only real solution

I really like this room in my house very very much especially at this light angle on a sunny day

We had to back out of the Oregon Country Fair this year due to familial Covid nonsense, which is deeply profoundly heartbreaking and crappy. I’m soothing my utter heartbreak by allowing puppy fever to fully consume me

One week from TODAY until HIMMMMM

important: an explosive known as the 'fish riding cat' was manufactured in the late 19th century by Hirayama Fireworks

I would say Beavis & Butt-head but tbh I don’t find it embarrassing at all, that show was comedy genius and I’ll die on that hill any day

what’s the most embarrassing show you nevertheless like? for me, it’s the considerable shame I feel about enjoying Big Mouth

reskeet if owls not like us

Look, I wouldn’t want to do hard labor in these conditions… but my backyard weather station says it’s 94.9F, there’s a light breeze, I’m in the shade, and I have a cool beverage. For a lizard like me this is essentially a perfect situation

Fun fact: Anthias joined our family at age 2 so I have never really raised a puppy before, but I am thoroughly confident that it won’t be that difficult if I keep my wits about me and my shit together. (I felt the same way about toddlers and basically found it to pan out well.) Guess we’ll see

Despite having almost 500 recipes saved in the NYT Cooking app and using it almost daily, I'm pissed off enough that I'm gonna cancel this last vestige of a subscription. (I killed my regular NYT sub in 2017.) So help me I'll export every goddamn one individually and never give them another dime

Post an image from one movie with a line from a completely different movie.

Amidst the grim march of World News I have some pure joy. This little fella, a 2.5 month old silken windhound, is gonna come live with me forever in just 13 days. Name TBD. He is sweet and gentle and happy and I can’t wait; I hope yall are prepared for wall to wall puppy spam pics

if I could only take one post with me to the afterlife it'd be this one

reskeet with a tweet you still think about

Kai: What do you think is the country that the most Americans don’t know? Me: Gosh, I don’t know. Maybe a newly renamed one like Eswatini? Miro, derisively: Of COURSE people know that, it’s the one almost entirely surrounded by South Africa! Me: …I suggest you lower your expectations considerably

This morning as I was laying in bed being confused about the time (brain: 1 AM; clock: 9 AM) I decided that what we really need for jet lag is a sort of anti-melatonin pill. A wake-you-up drug, as it were. It took an embarrassingly large number of seconds before I remembered about coffee

Not super related to this post specifically, but having seen My Fuji for the first time with my own eyes a few days ago, wow- this photo really illustrates why folks used to compare them. 🗻

USGS: "Earthquake activity at Mount St. Helens was not monitored by seismologists until seismometers were installed near the volcano in 1972. From January 1975 through early 1980, only 44 earthquakes were located within 35km (22 mi) of the volcano."

This was my second favorite store to go to growing up in Longview, second only to the Pet Works. Bob’s had EVERYTHING.

Thanks, Bob's.

Anyway, time to catch up on the ol’ skyline after 15 hours of planes and,, oh geez oh oh dear ugh

I sat down outside in my newly fresh clothes and she RAN over, squeaked at me a bunch, then drooled all over my lap. It’s nice to know that she does actually like, notice us
