The Crow in Your Brain
Jonathan Edward Durham, an author whose feed the dreaded F*c*b**k algorithmically suggested to me, posted that when he starts to recycle a glass jar, his inner Crow Brain demands that, no, we must KEEP IT and PUT LITTLE SHINY TRINKETS IN IT.
I get this? I must now specifically wash and recycle glass jars: we have to drive them to the county admin ( Read more... ) -
I'm Reminded that Facebook Does Not Care about the Contents of My Consciousness
LJ doesn't care, either, but it will let me ramble on a bit about it. I guess that means I should start tidying my brain-space by sorting threads of thought here.
Do I even know how to do this anymore? *shrug*

I'm on steroids for the sciatica, plus a soupcon of opioids for flavor, and this morning I had an anxiety dream about work ( Read more... ) -
BMW
I noticed I posted under "anxiety" about the test-driving of a BMW in August of 2017. https://bec-87rb.livejournal.com/276538.html
I also notice that said douchemobile is sitting in our driveway right now, and I still hate it. :) Since he had the foot reconstruction in April, I am the sole driver, and have had time to evaluate it as a driver. ( Read more... ) -
Hack-n-Slash
The back yard has run riot; the husband had been keeping it "arboreal" for the wildlife he has fed for nearly 2 decades, with the lawn guy cutting the grass at will, and me very occasionally pulling weeds and whacking back vines. It was his domain, so as long as Minimum Lawn Guy could get his riding mower back there and had something left to cut ( Read more... ) -
Body Double
Last night we saw the 1984 Brian DePalma film "Body Double" with Melanie Griffith and Greg Wasson or Chris Wassen or Craig Wasson, an actor who might look vaguely familiar, but not so you could name him. I say this as someone who watched the credits at the end and remarked, "Omagosh, Carol was Barbara Crampton!" How did I not recognize her; she ( Read more... ) -
Tiny Birds of Spring
The thistle feeder is basically full, and it is there for the tiny birds who benefit from such small seeds. If you have never seen a thistle seed, it is mostly the feathery upper region which lets it float aloft on a breeze, with the tiniest of black seed acting as hanging ballast below. However, for some reason, a small woodpecker has glommed ( Read more... ) -
Got To Read Poems to a Crowd in the Dark
Shirley L retired after 50 years at the Library, and they had a big blow-out party in the Mumford Room, with the Director and Deputy Director, her boss (which is the same as my boss), a cake decorated with a cherry blossom motif, and a bunch of people who knew her from current work or from way back in the day ( Read more... ) -
Boats are Dangerous. Fashion Tells You Where and When You Are.
1. To be clear: Fashion is the invention from chrononauts from the far future, so they could tell in an instant roughly when they were at any time in Earth's history, in case something went wrong with their time machine. That's why fashion changes so much more rapidly recently, because any time around the year 1000 is pretty much the same, but ( Read more... )
