Me, getting ready to leave yesterday: Eh, I'll just wear this loose old t-shirt and shorts and have my hair a muss. It's a hike, who would see? [smash cut to: Every. single. person. I pass on the trails is PREPOSTEROUSLY attractive. And me, a sweaty goblin.]

I mean every person. The stream of athleisure models. The lesbian couple taking photographs. The gaggle of moms with their kids. Every dog owner! Just a non-stop babe parade! And me looking like I'm heading for an audition, description: "Unkempt, sweaty man. Unfashionable."

I have heard not one, but TWO separate instances of Saves the Day in the wild today! It's 2000 again out here.
Wow. 13 years on this hell site. Dang. I mean, when I joined Twitter, George "The W stands for war crimes" Bush was still president. That's... huh.

I was anti-e-reader for so long, but the closing of the library for a YEAR wore me down. I finally bought one last month and I have read more novels in 5 weeks than I did in all of 2020.

The house finch is back, and he looks great.
In other "I'm Seriously Just A Grandpa Now" news: A house finch comes to my birdfeeder now! In New England! His head and face are all red!

Ok, I'm like 2 years late on this, but Booksmart is so fucking good. So, so amazing. It's... just so good!
Last night my brain came up with a gritty Beowulf prequel series about Hrothgar's family, called HALF-DANE.
This pandemic has been a boon time for subject-verb agreement for the word "data" in media, and a shitty time for pretty much everything else.
