Nepo baby blessings

Was talking to an ex-coworker who’s currently having some damned good craic right now and he had only this to say about our resident nepo baby:

Admitting is Step 1

I was at Pilates earlier and the instructor was talking about lighter springs and I said, “I’m okay, I like easy!”

Without missing a beat she goes, “You don’t like easy, you’re trying to do a pull-up. People who who like easy don’t do those things.”

Telegram temptation

My Monday’s been really productive. HBU?

Me: Man some of these emoji reactions are questionable af
Me: Hot dog and strawberry one 100000% sus
Me: When would you EVER use that
P: There are very few food emojis that wouldn’t DIRECTLY be used for innuendo
Me: Like that hot dog is SLIDING up and down in the bun
P: …oh come on now!
Me: Strawberry had some weird turn/squirt animation
Me: Like WHY

P: There goes my day

The end of this year would mark two decades of World of Warcraft charting my life into strange places.

Goddamn, I’m old.

Clear liquid diet

I thought I wouldn’t last the 24 hours just sipping on coconut water. It wasn’t actually too bad compared to the bowel-prep cleanse that came after.

“Pleasant passion fruit flavor” my ass.

Loss inspo

“You’re too talented to just be maintaining a website. You should realize your potential… elsewhere.”

Was not expecting to hear this today, but it’s probably something I needed to hear for awhile now.

Trusting the process

Sometimes we create things that seem like rubbish at the time.

But strangely, they come in handy and swoop in for a creative rescue a few weeks and/or months down the road.

It’s a fine line between psychic powers and a mental illness of compulsive hoarding.

Storytelling distilled

There is a line that’s uttered in Interview with the Vampire that goes, “Every human thought boils down to three things… I want food, I want sex, I want to go home.”

It’s so primitive and simplistic but amazingly accurate.
