Heading out for a Covid booster and flu shot, and I'll let you all know if I melt into a puddle of grey goo when the 6G microchips kick in.

“What’s with the horse in the hat?”

“Oh, that’s not a horse. That’s Todd. He’s a centaur and an accomplished wizard”

“He isn’t”

“Well, he’s a half-centaur”

“And what’s the other half?”

“Centaur”

“What?

“His mother was a centaur and his father was a centaur. He’s actually a half-centaur half-centaur”

“Then…wouldn’t that make him a centaur?”

“As I said”

“Then why doesn’t he look like a centaur?”

“Well…genetics are a funny thing sometimes”

this whole "7 sick days" thing is so absolutely weird to me as a german. before I was on English language social media I just assumed that it was normal to have as many sick days as you need. when I got sick, I got some 600 paid sick days, and then got first unemployment and then disability pension. this is normal. 7 sick days! demand 365

The FMLA plan my old manager and I hashed out is working. I'm back up to 2 hours of PTO. No more negative PTO!

The top window has the volume up, and the bottom has closed captioning, and if that doesn't show the world that my priorities in life are messed up, nothing does.

BREAKING: I really want a big chewy chocolate chip cookie.

You know what would be super cool, but also probably super expensive? Go back to the high-contrast original negative of TRON, before they did all the animation seperation, and recomposite the whole movie with actual CGI (there's CGI in the movie, but a lot of it is just cel animation).

I still love the original movie to death, but I wonder what that would look like. There's already a group who basically recreated the lightcycle sequence, and did it in under a day: youtube.com/watch?v=T2-yhFTCCz

Who is going to tell the Texans that kids don't become queer by seeing drag shows? Kids become queer by seeing Linda Hamilton do pull-ups in Terminator 2.

Heart: "I want to see The Black Hole movie."
Brain: "You have it on DVD. Pop it in."
Heart: "Really?! THE FUTURE IS AWESOME."

I've moved Mastodon Servers yet again. Thanks to a friend, I'm now hosted at the Drive In Saturday Mastodon instance, because I have also held the One Ring, for however short I had it.

Running on five hours of sleep. I really need to start Benadrilling myself to sleep. Maybe if I'm tossing and turning for two hours, take enough Benadryl to force me asleep.

I hate living in a day-worker's world.

I have the distinct feeling my body is not going to sleep tonight.

So I have six MREs from different companies just waiting to be compared. So questions for you, the viewer at home:

Would you rather have pictorial review? Like just pics with text over it? Or a video? Which would be something akin to a slide show with voice over, cause I have no camera stand for nice full video and I'm about as photogenic as a tire fire.

Also, there are a ton of MRE tasting videos out there. What's something you'd want to see out of these videos that you don't get from other folks?

Thoughts Before Bed: "What to have, what to hold: A poor man's roses, or a rich man's gold."
