That is awesome and I am glad you are posting some of it, because that was great!!!

Phoebe

It brought other images to mind, unpleasant ones.

For whoever needs this info: apparently the covid dementia is a real thing. Most of us are having cognitive problems, to the extent that we are not exposing our brains to most of what it was accustomed to in previous years. I guess we can handle some changes but we can't handle a radical change to o...

That sounds worse than it probably was.

I am stupefied by this spectacle.

Phoebe

Does it make a difference if it's on a flat surface or inclined in one direction or another?

It's not something I would do but it's admittedly impressive!

Phoebe

My life was seriously bereft and diminished due to the lack of bts the last two weeks, as have been busy and distracted from putting on music. Listening to combo of Dynamite and ON is restorative, seriously. J-Hope is somehow the human embodiment of Hope, not sure how/why.

Phoebe

Today a new day! No idea how we will fix the things, but at least a new day. Marking the passage of pandemic time by morning coffee, a daily highlight, and evening tea. At least I fixed my beverages. That's not nothing. Maybe can fix like half dozen things today, realistically. Shit is falling apart...

Phoebe

I'm so sorry, that has to be very frustrating! If it is any help, I have heard (from real experts here) that Moderna is less likely to cause allergic reaction in people with anaphylaxis reactions (to anything) than Pfizer, if they have any choice in which one they get; also Catholics here have been ...

Debbie Gibson was legit yes.

Phoebe

I have lost my laptop somewhere within my own house. It's not worth going into all the other straws but this is the last straw and I have given up on pretty much everything. Does it ever trouble you that you have to wake up each day and live it as yourself, because you really have no other choices a...

In Atlanta every road is a variation of peach tree and none of them follow any type of normal directionality. Perhaps you need to go Northwest for a while if you want to end up going East, ultimately. Just little things like that. While you're trying to figure out what's going on, you are stuck in a...

Same.

Phoebe

It does indeed! Here in Xanadu the roads spiral skyward in complex formations, with two-way patterns changing suddenly to one-way patterns, roundabouts, five-way stops, and multiple-lane promenades that forbid left turns, with lanes that might go north at one hour of day and south at another. If you...

Phoebe

Oh seriously, that's the truth.

Phoebe

Or they just don't need one marked there to warn one another, e.g. in the way they would need to be warned that a 59 is present? I would accept this theory about faulty generalizations from anecdotal evidence if there were no fundamental distinction in the kinds of traffic or traffic laws in these d...

Phoebe

Happy as a pig in slop. That's the one I hear most often - along with $#!& - which implies that slop is what brings joy to the pig's heart. I guess it depends what's in the slop? We also hear things like happier than a Corgi on stilts or a camel on hump day. These innovations are intriguing, an...

Phoebe

Same.

Phoebe

From Merriam-Webster: "Sometimes the pig is happy in mud, and sometimes it is muck that brings joy to the porcine heart. In the 1860s it was common to see happy as a pig in clover, or happy as a pig in a puddle. The important thing is, should you have a pig, that you figure out what causes this...

Okay but if you need your enthusiasm to be tempered just remember he was one of the many full adults at that time having sex with 15-year-old girls.

Phoebe

To the extent that these songs continued to be played on the radio or are from huge artists, then I know them, but oddly I have no clue what a lot of this pop music from my teenage years is supposed to be. By this point I was listening to something totally different. Whereas the pop music when I'm 1...

Phoebe

Apparently my therapist can sense through the ether that I'm a troubled soul because he actually called AND emailed to see if I happen to want to see him, since my approach is generally to drop in once in a blue moon for a quick Band-Aid and then jump back into the trench. Y'all, don't be calling hi...

Phoebe

It's not just that we needed the audiobook autobiography of John Oates; it's that we needed Kyle's recap of the same. It's better than reading the book.

Phoebe

I do not know how to say the -s- in Illinois. Is it like Mayonnaise or a dudebro saying Noice! ? Yes we should try to say the place names correctly like they say it in the place - why not? If you don't know how, then OK, but if enough people did it then it might spread around that way. People are a ...

Phoebe

Don't we have a movie thread somewhere? Anyway it turned out that the show I had been starting to watch is a movie! It is called I Care a Lot, how about that? But most importantly, One of the villains of our story is played by Peter Dinklage, and he is all the things at once: hilarious, intense, omi...

Phoebe

The pondering IS the action!

Phoebe

Have had the song Convoy in my head for a few days now, which is hilarious and great but also a ridiculous mental state that should not be further encouraged by linking it. Instead, I will observe we once had a President whose favorite music was this:

Phoebe

I find this vaguely irritating as well. More pet peeves in the category of pet: I really hate it when people let their dogs roam off leash, in areas where it's not appropriate to do this, because they so sincerely believe their dog is a great dog who would never do anything wrong. Well that's nice. ...

Phoebe

And why should they be ashamed? If it meant sacrificing the music it would be one thing, but they kept pushing out the catchy tunes. I like the BTS embraces this about themselves as well - if your goal is to bring joy and comfort to people through your music and you have a positive message of inclus...

Phoebe

I am told the ship of Theseus comes into this thing and now it's all over and I need to pay to watch.

Phoebe

Aha, I see! Stan's looks pretty promising in that regard. I like this one because of the phenomenal title - can you imagine a better title for just about anything? - but also because at least one of the songs he wrote is my favorite Who song, and it's amusing when you've got these great geniuses wri...

Phoebe

Anyone except the people who share a toothbrush or never even got to the point of toothbrush relevance!

But seriously I think their songs do have this universal appeal and it's interesting that they put some intention behind it.

She's Gone is nice, yeahhhh! It's kind of hilarious that it's about a person he dated one time and failed to date the second time, when you assume it's some kind of big relationship thing, lol!

Phoebe

:D I get myself into a horizontal position and attempt to grasp my hugger pillow before I actually pass out cold. It takes usually less than 5 to 10 seconds. 20 seconds at the outside. Sometimes I fall asleep to the sound of my own inner voice of the mind saying things like, "I hear the commoti...

Finished typing, felt vaguely bolstered by getting it all shook out, and decided to make renewed efforts to resolve work task. Work task was then interrupted for no reason at all when computer failure occurred, not on my end. So, I had been trying to obtain a washing machine. The earliest I can get ...

Phoebe

It's going to be weird after this for a long while, for sure. Apparently the anniversary effect has cropped up with respect to the pandemic, too, and various people who were doing OK are kind of losing their shit lately as they run across whatever their own personal version of Quarantine, Day 1 regi...

Phoebe

Wow, I still loathe that song as much as ever! Re: Pete information above, noted with pleasure and I accept it's a friendly Pandoras sendup of Bangles. As opposed to DESTRUCTION! But I enjoy it. The Bangles are like the fluffy, fancy version of the snarly, snarky Pandoras. That's my take anyway. Sel...

She snatched her own wig off so she can do whatever.

The agoraphobia thing is real. One of my kids is deeply averse to going out of the house for almost any reason. Going for a drive is okay as long as there's no danger of having to go through a drive-thru or end up in a place where there are people. This is not bode well for going back to places wher...

Since I have to sweep and mop my floor multiple times throughout the day if I don't want to live in abject filth, I decided to take matters into my hands. I spend an hour last night washing the dog, a task that required every bit of my mental and physical and emotional resources to accomplish, by lu...

Phoebe

Whoa! I did not imagine that the beginnings of Hall & Oates were so violent!

Phoebe

Ooof, so sad. Musically it grows on you and is well suited to the lyrics, but those sad lyrics!

Since I am fighting the anxiety right now, I will attempt the 540 on this:

Phoebe

Who Are The Options, STAN? Who? You have to read his comment in the most passionately urgent tones as well. I read DMDarcs suggestion to him. I don't think he stopped replying at all; I just went off to do a load of laundry by hand in the sink and missed the rest.
