In which saving teeth is far from cheap. The pandemic started and I kept getting money. Not complaining, but it was a bit baffling: the stimulus check, then two aunts and an uncle sent cash, bless them, and then a Minnesota tax refund I’d forgotten about filing for appeared. All told, a few grand. And […]
In which too many are not, for a variety of reasons I won’t get into, taking this shit seriously. Half the customers in the cheese shop these past few weeks have been tourists. White people on vacation to wine country, visiting tasting rooms, hotels, restaurants, and my place of work in sleepy little rural Oregon, […]
In which THERE WAS AN EXPENSIVE DENTAL PROCEDURE. Last week, on a whim, I called the dentist across the street from the one that keeps postphoning my appointments, and they got me in TWO HOURS LATER. This place doesn’t take my insurance, but my insurance doesn’t cover most of what I need anyway, so what […]
In which there’s cheese! I ordered the gift box from Alemar again. (Their cheese is so good! Plus they treat me right when I order and usually throw in something extra and fun, like curds or toma. Last order had cream cheese, which I used in some yummy pasta!) When it arrived, back in the […]
In which it’s Sunday afternoon. I just deleted my Facebook account! It’s a garbage platform with garbage rules, and anybody who actually knows or gives a shit about me can find me here. I used to keep it for publicity reasons when I was in a band, but I just realized I haven’t been in […]
In which I’m currently quarantined. This entire post is tl;dr but I’m going to write it anyway because I’ve got nothing but time for the next 3 to 7 days. Wednesday I woke up, felt fine, got dressed, packed up my stuff, and was making a sandwich to take to work when I had that […]
In which there’s bread! Today’s his birthday, and he’s been asking me to make the knock-off Jimmy John’s bread recipe for awhile, so I did! Here’s the recipe: No wonder it’s so nice, it’s got a teaspoon of sugar and even more oil per roll! Here’s the dough after the first rise: Now, do behold […]
In which there’s an item of furniture. Bought a coffee table. (Also bought a couch, to replace the air bed we’ve been using as a couch, but it’s not here yet.) Coffee table! It weighs a ton and reeks of finish, but I love it! Was expecting something much flimsier, but this guy’s solid as […]
Target pays low wages, withholds benefits, treats their employees and the communities they operate in like shit, and they store their (well, really our) wealth offshore to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Ditto Walmart and Home Depot and all those other massive chains. FUCK THOSE BUSINESSES. THEY ARE NOT GOOD CITIZENS, AND THEY […]
In which it’s an intense time to be alive, no doubt about that. The images that get traction are of broken-hearted wailing and absolutely JUSTIFIED rage; fire; despair. Cops acting as if the population they’re sworn to serve and protect are enemy combatants, and so hatefully indoctrinated they don’t know why that’s a problem. The […]
