It rough reading stories about characters you love that you're no longer allowed to write for.

When this song comes up, I always think of Erin, Dean and Crystal and Lissa - everyone who has always taken me in when I was down. But the song is how I imagine each of these people think of their time with me, versus me of them. Flitting in and out of peoples lives, and sometimes ending disastrously....

It's a 13 minute long song, but all the lyrics are in the first two minutes. I've posted them here cause I can't find them anywhere else...there's a second set of lyrics quietly under the first, but I can't make them out, except for one block that's the same as the loud lyrics....

Late One Sunday
American Analog Set

I met Tom one Sunday in Fort Worth.
He was living about two blocks from me at the time.
He was like a thousand little dots combined to make some massive mural.
I had my doubts, but, he moved in with us anyway.
And then he was gone.
I spoke with him on the phone and no one had heard from him.

Yeah, Michael was the most outrageous boy we'd ever seen.
And it didn't take long to figure out his criminal nature.
That was his style.
You know, the way he expressed himself.
Some people just loved to...loved to see him collapse.
But I just cringed.
That's wild....

Da da, da da.
Da da, da da.
Da da, da da.
Da da.

It was hard to swallow sometimes,
Following Diana through her seasons.
That were totally different from her real ones.
She was always looking for some uncommon basis for what she thought she should be.
There were all these people on display.
Just part of the show in the living room.
The white house was just too crowded.
And that night, I was clumsy at my post.

My son is _furious_ that the servos he’s using in his grade school robotics club project have five degrees of play in their responsiveness and none of his test runs are replicable, and he’s angry that anyone would sell random unreliable junk like this to save a few bucks. I did not expect him to become radicalized by a grade-school engineering extracurricular but I fully approve.

For a certain number of generations, the phrase "You want to have your cake and eat it, too" has seemed dumb and weird because, at least in American English, "have cake" and "eat cake" mean the same thing, so I would like to propose the much more culturally relevant "You want to eat the last slice of leftover pizza in the fridge and also for there to still be leftover pizza in the fridge," which, while not as pithy, is far more on-point in conveying the specific sentiment.

Also, I just ate the last slice of leftover pizza in the fridge and am sad.

I think one of the ingredients in my bread has gone bad. OCcasional off taste, or overly salty spot in my bread slices....also, thinking I should move over to instant yeast, instead of adapting the recipes overs to Active Dry (which is what I had on hand when starting to bake).

I watched a lot of TV growing up. And a lot of his TV. It wasn't just entertaining, it could be Star Trek style educational-under-the-surface if you started to really think about it.
