I used to like Lady Gaga so much but cannot find any excitement over her output in the last few years. It's not that the Rain on Me song is bad - I was delighted to discover that it existed and she had surprised me with a new album full of songs. But after listening I was like, meh. Meh. I don't thi...

Phoebe

Apparently watching people play video games is a thing - a BIG thing at which people make money. I knew of Pat and Jen and had only begun to grasp that they are now separated, which many children (including one of mine) took far too personally. I understood their appeal to kids who are learning a ga...

PewDiePie, my Google not-so-helpfully chooses to inform me, has won some sort of good looking face contest (even worse, the contest also includes personality factors like grace among its criteria). Given the long arc of the Republican party over the course of my lifetime, and the current sewer in wh...

Phoebe

I love this song so much! So much!!! It is new!!! I think V is our jazz icon for the same reasons he is so odd in behavior and reactions. He's just functioning on his own plane and it works for the jazzy songs. Plus the husky voice. Elements of this song are already familiar, in that a grab bag of t...

Phoebe

Nice, that's a pretty good ending regardless! Let me check this new list. Okay here's what I've discovered so far: The deck is kind of stacked because Mahalia Jackson is not human but divine, and there's not much anyone else can do about it, no matter how good their song might be as a song. I also d...

Phoebe

Kid Michael Jackson was just so amazing, and it's so sad that he couldn't be left alone to have a normal life. Maybe he would have turned out just the same but you never know, maybe things would have been better.

Phoebe

I'm glad you're doing this because I had never heard either of these! Apart from Dua Lipa, this is another song I remembered liking in the car, and I was very pleased to figure it out because I already liked both Wale and Jeremih independently of this! Maybe this is a 2019? I don't know that it coun...

Phoebe

I don't know who the you is supposed to be but I'm assuming it's Eliahad, and that he was called pork chop in college. In the effort to edit I realize things went wrong on so many levels, like I had totally missed the change to Champ.

Phoebe

No 3D glasses? I have watched, via piecing together various English subtitled clips, a Korean reality show from about 5 years ago, American Hustle Life, featuring BTS going to Los Angeles for training in hip hop - dance, singing, beatbox, culture, etc. It was a great joy and also managed to disgust ...

Phoebe

I am shocked at how few of these songs I know by name. I attribute some of that to not driving every day three times a day during the past year. All I have is a radio so I listen to a lot of radio there, and that's the only place I encounter new stuff unless my kids present it. Or Lizzo which I got ...

Phoebe

I have had some tracers of Dua Lipa today that give me hope for someday breaking free from the comprehensive BTS obsession. In the meantime, I will cook Korean food and listen to the RM back catalog:

Phoebe

Thank you, I think I am medium way up in the hole, so that's good! Update: peace in the valley is partially restored. Bad month, bad year. I'm mentally, physically, emotionally exhausted by this peak experience of constantly trying to do things for everyone for which they are not only very much not ...

Phoebe

I think I have totally misunderstood the nature of this thread, and I want to make clear that "pork chomps" had nothing to do with breasts. Well, human breasts; no idea what sort of pork is involved in the product.

But how could pork chomps disappoint you?

I am afraid?

This post is a lie.

Dingleberries does sound like something festive, and I think it's just your speciesism preventing you from seeing how festive it really is for some other non-humans. If it's festive for any humans I don't want to hear about them.

Phoebe

We discussed gap year this AM. I don't think she wants to do it but it may be the best option. Just don't know yet. We are at "one hour at a time" here, as opposed to even "one day at a time". Just one hour, let's see. Next hour. Let's see. I'm to a point of exhaustion. It all co...

This is so amazing - video of the new lava flows from helicopter and even the park overlook where it can be viewed (in fact in the video they're concerned about too many maskless people gathering to watch!). I wonder how much lava will flow in? It was coming along pretty quickly and I wonder if it w...

Phoebe

Happy Birthday!

Phoebe

I'm sad that this had less airplay than you'd expect from Beyonce, while her Savage remix with Megan Thee Stallion was played approx every twenty minutes for a while there. It's okay though - I only listen to BTS now, still. The conjunction of the planets and the solstice and Kyle's birthday have ch...

Phoebe

Just say nothing and let people draw their own conclusions? That's how we're going to think of you, in our minds.

Phoebe

Have been very into something called "Pork Chomps" lately, not for myself, but for the serenity of the home.

Phoebe

Oh, you are so nice to let me vote - I really don't have a Twitter and fear it on a fundamental level, but if the voting remains tied, I like All Shook Up better, and You Send Me.

Phoebe

I have other things I need Akiva to solve, but now that you've mentioned dried snot, how do we go forward? Why do kids put their dried snot on the wall? Maybe that's one of the things Akiva can solve.

Phoebe

I figure it's because of money but who knows. I would like to have a clearer assessment of what damage can be caused. Congress should take action at this point.

Phoebe

"He could not “be up or down at any hour”"
Hehh, in his defense it's a disorder. My kid is unwake-able, so... Grim laughter.

Phoebe

Could see no planets from here. Boo.

Phoebe

Watched some dumb Christmas movie on Prime that began with very bad acting, and a scene where the guy tells the gal's kid that Santa isn't real. It was at this juncture I realized I was watching the movie with my kid in the room, because he asked, "why is that man telling that girl such a mean ...

Putin offered to take the password for free if Trump would move all our troops out of Syria and Afghanistan and hand over a quarter of our vaccine order, and Trump knows a good deal when he sees one, so he agreed.

Phoebe

My husband is fond of pointing out that morning people attach a moral virtue to their own naturally preferred behaviors. Y'all are nothing if you can't be up and down at any hour among the 24, ready to jump into the car or clean up vomit.

Phoebe

That'll Be the Day Walkin After Midnight Lucille 'Round Midnight vs. You Send Me - no preference Do we need Twitter to vote? Ahhh I lack the Twitter. I know enough to know that Twitter is the wrong venue for me. Aphorisms or insults. It's the same reason I try not to go places where people can appro...

Phoebe

If you have Amazon prime there is some HBO add-on which apparently we have - is that the same as HBO max or something different? It's getting complicated and Netflix stopped having good British historical dramas, so here we are. Actually looking forward to a slothful period of TV.

Phoebe

Aha, allergic to shellfish! That explains it. But really, fish and fish sauces can work well as the flavor base in a lot of these things, particularly if you don't have to cut out all sugars. One thing I NEVER would have thought to do in the past is use fish skin in cooking, but it is really nice ge...

Phoebe

Not saying she's dumb, but she's certainly proof that the system is skewed. Rich private prep school grad goes to private schools for rich people; emerges with no morals whatsoever.

Phoebe

Stan what is the occasional K drama worth watching? Or Chinese drama? I need to know. I can do subtitles!
I just figured out while Christmas shopping that I can make a profile for Amazon Prime JUST FOR ME, what a victory, hahahahaaa! I have loaded it up with every period drama I could find.

Phoebe

Thanks to the inimitable Bette Midler, the information that Kaylie? Kayla? Kay--- McEnany? McMenamy? McEnemy? graduated from there too has bubbled to the surface. But the best was when the anonymous author of the news tidbit got in a little dagger in the last paragraph - she also attended Georgetown...

Phoebe

Can you eat rice noodles and Barilla red lentil pasta / Banza pasta, and stuff like Miso or Ramen broth? Or is there still gluten contamination in that stuff? How about coconut milk? Eggs or egg whites? Though we are FAR from vegan over here, given the central role of ice cream, milk, and cheese in ...

Phoebe

That is an unforeseen silver lining - it will really help some kids and I hope yours ends up being one of them! My kid happens to have really good test scores, and it's pretty bogus that the window this gives on her suitability for college will be so narrow yet so influential, in a year when a lot o...

Phoebe

Hey, this is one of the perks of surviving a bout! Don't discuss or all the crazies I know will be out there having more Covid parties.

Phoebe

On my last Costco trip in person before big quarantine period in spring, lots of people were crowding in for big last-minute runs because the toilet paper shortage was beginning in earnest. I saw an odd pair of white people, one older man, one younger woman, pushing a cart with two small girls in it...

Phoebe

Can you maybe get that level of acceptance for the sprouts choosing their own directions into a capsule form so I can pop it like a pill along with two extra strength ibuprofen and a wee dram of something?

Phoebe

I need to be willing to accept this as one of the outcomes. You are the second person to tell me this - or rather I should say, the first person to suggest it simply wanted to know what would happen if she did fail, like would it be the worst thing in the world for her to just work for a year until ...

Phoebe

What the heck? She moves out and then is like by the way... In case you had not guessed it, I'm a psychopath who had covid and just didn't tell you about it despite moving into your home! Surprise.
Honestly what the hell is wrong with people?

Phoebe

Oh my goodness, so excited. I really don't have time to fix my character sheet because as soon as I get my computer back here in a minute I have to go straight back to work all day. But I am so happy this is coming soon.

Phoebe

This thing could actually destroy my life for a significant period. I'm obsessed with the colors of these creatures, because if you just shifted the turquoise one over a little bit to the left and made it yellow, the colors would match the sizes and voice depth of the Teletubbies. I feel like these ...

Phoebe

I do appreciate the advice and I agree with you both on this; I think I did a bad job of explaining my issue, because the issue is not that she doesn't want to go, it's that she's not doing the needful things to go. But if you say things like, you have to do this thing and you have to do it today, o...

You could get him a reel horse, if you think he's one of the real heroes:

I have another parenting challenge for you. No the challenge is not how to get my child to put proper clothes on; I don't know that anybody can solve that. Nor are you going to do any better than I am at keeping cleanliness. But I do think most of you would be better at this problem than I am: I wan...
