I haven’t listened to thrash or other “extreme” metal genres on the regular in over 20 years. In fact I’ve complained that much of the current, I just couldn’t get into. That changed yesterday. Saw a video on YouTube about the thrash genre & Nervosa was mentioned. Hooked.

I have to have a “cheat sheet”. Some days I don’t need it (and am proud like a little kid grasping a concept for the first time) and others, I wonder how I even got this far in life.

WANNA HUG?

Yay! Christmas is almost here!

Listening to this reminds me of Alabaster (Missing you! 🖤), who introduced it to me. I gave away my copy to a mutual friend. It went out of print. My MP3s of it were total garbage—unlistenable. I finally found a copy.

I think it’s more sentimental than good, but I still like it.

6yo thought it would be funny to use play doh patterns on our faces.

We got a turntable for Christmas. I am no DJ, but I have more 12” singles than I remembered.

Me: *groans*

J: What’s the matter?

Me: *shows her*

J: Why do these upset you?

Me: because they make me feel so old.

J: But you ARE old.

I guess I’ve lived here long enough to be a Torontonian. 🤣

Can Jack make a certain bird site worse?

The subject of Reuben sandwiches came up in conversation. Reading the history of “Russian” dressing, and it is not surprising it’s not known in traditional Russian cuisine. But I just learned the best word ever…

As if her miscasting in Ghost in the Shell wasn’t bad enough, Scarlett Johansson’s response to criticism of her casting in the Dante Gill biopic… 💩

Inky fingers and hands. I managed to escape Wonder Pens ink-free skin, but not ink-free.

I found this photo today while cleaning up folders in Dropbox. Running across pics of my kid from this age make me very happy.

No.
