My library has it! This is going to be good. I have been doing more complex knitting of garments and it requires looking at what you're doing, so not the greatest for TV (especially the amount of subtitled TV I watch). But books? Including the 1001 books on the "read it someday" list?! OMG...

Phoebe

Wow, the surface texture and detail is so much nicer than expected!

Phoebe

It's like the Pilgrim's Progress of our times, morality tales for the young.

Phoebe

Okay, this recipe is fun and useful to have in your back pocket when leftover mashed potato is available. You can also bake a couple potatoes and mash their contents - my grandma used to do it this way sometimes. LITTLE HOOVES (dumplings): 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 cup flour, plus a bit for hands and...

Phoebe

Revelatory experience with Gravy: Made roast. Everyone was ready to eat. The plates were being passed. GRAVY, GRAVY, GRAVY! they all shouted, menacingly! Not exactly like that but we're getting an ambiance here. I am not the greatest at gravies, historically, due to impatience and improvisation tend...

Phoebe

Our church like others has taken up the practice of having a different kind of holiday ceremony on the Solstice or otherwise pre-holidays - a Christmas for those who are feeling sad or something in that bucket over the holidays. For many it's grief and loss, loneliness, or whatever else is causing t...

Phoebe

My new years' resolution is to have more audiobooks in my life. The idea is to replace television with them, because so much TV sucks - there is good, yes, but rarely good enough to surpass a book being read to you - and I can do so many other things with an audiobook playing. I already have the Dou...

Phoebe

Due to not having to drive much lately, I was able to drink a little but never enough. Have lost the ability to drink anything beyond 1 and possibly 2 standard drinks with alcohol. It truly sucks. Slight amounts of alcohol produce much stronger effects than they used to, and larger amounts generally...

Phoebe

I remember last summer when these two albums came out, Pete was like, which one? and I reported listening to Lizzo and not as much the Beyonce album. Hindsight has taught us - and no offense to Lizzo here because I think she would even agree, and her album is a beautiful, amazing artwork - I was not...

Phoebe

Very interesting. I wonder if one should go with what you're built for or try to stir it up with its opposite, for fitness purposes? Needless to say a "sprinter" gene as you describe would explain my entire sports and fitness essence. Very fast, very muscle, minimal endurance. I have been ...

Phoebe

Happy birthday! Well wait, it's belated now! Keep celebrating today!

Cold enough that the dogs don't even want to bark at the squirrel. Basically arctic.

Phoebe

Restless early morning dream about waking up and trying to make pigs in a blanket with pancakes and little turkey sausages. Distress: where are the little sausages? In the dream I'm trying to teach my kid how to make pigs in a blanket and you can't do it without the little piggies, even if they are ...

Phoebe

OCD fantasia last night: I dreamed my husband bought me a surprise gift I had never seen before for Christmas: A *house*! I did not want to give up my current house, at all! It was a most unwelcome gift! The new house was enormous and had at one time, about 1962, been fabulous. It had not been updat...

Phoebe

Now he just deleting accounts for any journalist he doesn't like because they investigated him and wrote an unfavorable piece. Free speech! I feel cheated out of being banned because I don't have a Twitter. I've disliked this man for 15 years; I feel like I should get an honorary ban.

Phoebe

Elon had a scare with a stalker and decided the solution was to ban a bunch of journalists from Twitter, supposedly for distributing doxxing info about him. This is because they reported on the story about the kid who tracks Elon's private jet, and apparently even reporting on that is a no-no. Twitt...

Phoebe

I like the meatloaf recipe!
Everyone here was measurably better yesterday, be it in behavior or homework or mood or steps forward. Big relief when all are going the right direction.

Phoebe

They're reviewing grid security now, everywhere. When it gets cold or very hot, we have much of Midwest and California vulnerable to shutdowns anyway, and Texas has its own problem. I want a backup generator for Christmas, sheesh. That's the current MO in Ukraine as well: assault on power grid. We j...

Phoebe

Getting older:
Is it an emergency or is it back pain, migraine, carpal tunnel, teeth grinding, acid reflux, the bad knee, stress?
How much does a water heater cost?
Why can't I go back to sleep?!

Phoebe

Reminded that James Brown is dead. Have dementia I guess. Hope this problem doesn't spread to other cases!

Also the answer is indeed Prince.

Phoebe

Very cool, a different style from what I woul have expected!

RMs album is good... I am liking the collabs. Here's another one with Paak:

Phoebe

Media not helpful on this, now reporting on attempted attacks on power stations in the Pacific Northwest and all kinds of other problems. Why you do this? I don't even have time to go to the store to pick up milk and cereal and apples much less stock up on life giving water and protein bars. Ugh.

Phoebe

I want to have fitness and I do not have fitness and my blood pressure is going up for many reasons. Fitness is going to be necessary.

Phoebe

They say elan doesn't want the account that tracks his flights to be seen anymore on Twitter lol. "Absolutism"!

Phoebe

This seems crazy - is this the responsibility of the school principal or vice principal?! I can tell you far worse punishments are meted out at our grade school for far less wrongdoing! Geez wth. I guess that's stupid because of course anything is worse than nothing? I mean punishments are meted out.

Phoebe

I think it was on NPR, they showed a clip of him giving his own memorial to Mr. Cooper in a scene with Big Bird et alia. He was all choked up and then we all mimicked this while watching. So sad. Childhood.

Phoebe

Surely there is a Chuck Norris meme about this.

Phoebe

Manifest - show on Netflix about people on a flight that glitches or something and it appears they have time traveled. I'm 99% sure the rule for the rest of my life is going to be that we don't watch shows about time travel at all besides the singular exception of old Star Trek and its variants. I'm...

Phoebe

It angers me so I usually click on whatever my own last post was, and some people reacted (so I assume those are the people that are logging into Facebook recently), and then I click on their names and see what they have posted. The algorithm is probably still deciding who sees the stuff I post but ...

Phoebe

On the one hand, that sucks because nobody wants the treadmill to break, but on the other hand, you've run so much that you have destroyed a treadmill and that's kind of effing impressive! If it turns out some of us are Cylons, well, we all know where to look.

Phoebe

Have enjoyed a few different books by Temple Grandin for sure - she's terrific. I went to see her speak once and she is also hilarious. Jennifer Egan I assume OK for teenagers? This looks like a holiday shopping list possibility - always struggling to find that new interesting book for people. Chuck...

Very glad they released her, what a horrible ordeal she has suffered! Cannot imagine. The way they used her as a rhetorical target to stir up hate was also horrible. I would prefer to think it was just Russian bots leading the chorus of do the crime do the time that we saw afterward, but for some re...

Phoebe

In theory, a lot of people are going to be shocked to discover that there is a keystone oil pipeline currently in operation, much less that it just made a nasty leak atop the waters. This fact was causing some confusion already this morning on the news.

Phoebe

Brittney griner released from detention!

Phoebe

My God, how awful!

Phoebe

This is the quality content that improves our day.

Phoebe

Wait a stinkin minute... What's this all about? Different story, same dictionary, different definition cited?! This is why people cannot trust the media and democracy is being eroded. "Merriam-Webster named “gaslighting” the word of the year. Searches for the word on Merriam-Webster.com surged ...

Phoebe

The good thing: I have a 16 oz container of homemade (by an actual Korean Grandma, not by me) kimchi. It's basically a whole week of happiness or at least about 4 days.

Phoebe

Applause, that is great!!

Phoebe

A very strange phrase that has been used in the past is "crotch goblin" to mean one's own offspring! I feel about that much the same way I feel about women's use of crude slang terms to describe their own body parts. Like this thing is yours, why are you making it something gross?!

Phoebe

Urgent Music Alert:

Amazing! Totally worth going down the rabbit hole with the artist Yun Hyong-Keun apparently referred to here with the opening quote. I'm so happy this exists.

Rice Krispies have changed their formula. I wasn't sure if we just got certain unlucky boxes but now we have a new box and it's the same weird new formulation of the crispies. What is this world coming to.

Phoebe

NPR is very taken and charmed with the notion of "goblin mode", a new hip and popular word with those youngins on Twitter and Tiktok now entering the English lexicon. Goblin mode! They were very excited to explore the various things that might be considered goblin mode, like raiding the fr...

Oh my God that hoodie is amazing!!!

I've been reading some stories where people are interviewed about these lava flow concerns. Although they obviously would prefer to avoid serious inconvenience or destruction of homes and such, they also express such accepting attitudes about the inevitability of whatever the volcano chooses to do, ...

Three divergent options: Indian matchmaking - normally my kind of thing but it's so scattered and meandering! Boo! By the time you start caring about one of the people, they abandon the story and you never find out what happened. Unforgiven in a supposedly cute show about matchmaking! Plus the degre...

The lava is creeping down to the big road going straight across the island and Havoc will ensue if it is blocked and people can only go around the outside of the volcanoes to traverse the island. Hoping for them.
