peripatetic in lockdown @datn@spanner.works

DuckDuckGo
I love you so
you show me things I want to know
you help me make my way round town
and every week I burn you down

from bed's heart I yawn at thee

spider plant, spider plant

does whatever a spider can't

starting to realize that when I run out of spoons, it's often because I am inadvertently running a fucking Spoon Library, with 80% of the stock checked out to others at any given moment... and no overdue fees.

here's how to really annoy me:

1) leave me a message on a service that allows message deletion
2) delete the message
3) send me another message whose first words refer to your having deleted the message

two British English pronunciations i thought were specific to the vocal performances of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in "The World's End" but later discovered are common to at least a quantity of similar speakers:

"drink up" = "dring cup"
"your own" = "your <glottal stop> own"

wow, i'm belatedly listening to this week's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and i'm just now hearing that one of the questions involved the pick-up line work of the esteemed @janellecshane !! yaaaay

trying out the latest keyboard replacement to be able to remove another Google product from my phone. time it took to type this message: +350%

you can't spell "insomnia" without "NO"

i tried to give I Care A Lot a chance to show me that its screenwriting had something to surprise me with, but i got very impatient so i skipped through most of it and discovered at the end that no it did not

i'm angry at Tenet

i am a person who has never heard "Gangnam Style" in its entirety, and never by choice.

this morning's diversion from work is the Wikipedia article on the song, and i'd like to share two things with you.

1) the incredibly detailed and soberly written synopsis of the music video: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangnam_Style#Music_video

2)

kicking sugar for the most part for the next three months to see if my liver's okay. just had a dream about a big gathering of friends with kids where the kids were doing some big competition for which the prizes were huge boxes of candy

also tried to talk to my ex and she just said "I have a cold"

CAPITALISM

(sorry to swear)

i sure do like it when it's above freezing during the day

i ate an entire bag of paprika potato chips

i've searched the world over for my angel in black
