yes! sometimes i go to the gelsons just so i can pay more

some of the deals are so good at ralphs that i can't help buying like 100x

the goldfish crackers on sale for $1. everytime i'd go in, i'd buy at least 5. i probably bought at least 50 of them.

and big bottle of whiskey for $15

and the knudsen's just tart cherry juice is literally less than half price of bezos. exact same brand!

Poof. Mind blown. I did not expect that from you.

How is your Hogwarts character dressed?

I’m sure I’m behind the curve on this one but I’ve finally found a tv show that speaks to my soul:

All The Pizza

I've gotten lots of weird looks at work

My Hogwarts char has the workout hair and the Christmas ball dress robes. Looks like a pretentious Brit tbh

i just got the traditional robes. i like that look. but mine are currently all covered in ice cuz me and bill weasley were just battling the ice

You're making my soul's mouth water. I'll check it out.

edit: Okay, help me out. Where do I find this?

I look like a version of my 12 year old self: striped shirt, jeans and light brown hair parted to the side.

Anyone use T-Mobile prepaid? Get a free phone if you refill your prepaid account with $100. The deal has been active for a couple weeks so I don't know how much longer it will run.

The LG Aristo 2 and Moto E5 Play are fairly decent phones. I snagged the Moto e5 Play. A couple days later, I got T-mobile to unlock it.

It's on some random channel called Tastemade, available on Youtube TV. I stumbled onto the episode where he does pizza in Las Vegas.

There was so much pizza I felt an insatiable hunger even though I just had dinner.

I would punch the first person I witnessed being mean to a dog/cat

I've been working on my irrational fear of spiders by naming the spiders that I encounter near my home. Theres a spider that lives behind my outdoor thermometer; his name is Kurt. I filmed Kurt murdering a bug the other day.

There is also an orb weaver named Sid under the eaves. Sid is pretty amazing. I burn down his web every day, and every night he rebuilds it stronger than the previous day. I haven't seen Sid muder anything yet.

There was a crazy fatty who lived over our back door; his name was Ted. I think Ted was eaten by a bird, and I've been bummed about it for a day or two.

The names make the spiders less scary to me. They also make them harder to kill.

I'm not sure I'll continue this, but for now it seems to be helping me overcome my fears.

The spider naming caught on too, and now I also have Hollis, the frog who lives in my outside bucket, and Ramone, the chipmunk who lives under the stair.

Ramone is pretty skittish, but I'm fairly certain I can win him over with snacks.

I left him cheese nibs the other day, and he sent them back.

Tomorrow I will try almonds.

during a dark period in my life, i considered the spiders in my house my friends

a couple weeks ago my little brother(43) was diagnosed with cancer. BUT he didn't seem too upset about it. whatever. so we gotta wait a while so they can do a bunch of tests, and we can find out more about it. he's in san francisco with the rest of our family. im in LA, basically alone.

so a couple weeks go by, and we still don't have good info. then my sister texts me she has news. do i want her to email it to me, or talk on the phone with her in a couple days, on saturday. wtf... that sounds bad. so i'm freaking out. i try to stay calm, and i say talk on the phone on saturday.

i call her on saturday and she doesn't answer. she texts me that she forgot she had plans saturday. talk sunday. so we talk sunday and she tells me he has stage 4 cancer. wow. just wow. im devistated. and i'm alone.

i decide to go to the casino to try and think about something else. terrible choice. i can't think straight. but my favorite waitress yessica is really nice to me and joking with me. she really cheers me up. but i realize i have to leave. this is ridiculous. i cant play right.

as i'm leaving my chip runner friend katari asks me "are you ok?" i'm not sure how to answer. i decide to just tell her the truth and say no. but i can't say it. i try to say it and there is a huge lump in my throat, and i can't speak. then i just start to cry. right there in the middle of the casino. katari is looking at me, and tears are running down my cheeks, and i can't say anything. and she just hugs me. and i'm trying not to break down and sob. and she is saying nice things to me, and i'm just nodding my head and wiping away tears. all right in the middle of the casino! people all around us, floormen, degenerates, cocktail waitresses. and i'm holding a tray of chips and trying not to spill them while i wipe away my tears

btw, that was a couple days ago. i'm doing pretty good now. and my brother is actually doing pretty good too... considering.


i was posting in the pub a little, while i was feeling terrible. i didn't want to talk about it the time though. but mark posted something really nice about dinner with his family. and it meant a lot to me. just like how the waitress was nice to me, and the chip runner.

you never know when simply being nice to someone really means a lot to them.

thanks mark

This.

My mom just started breast cancer treatment, which came like a shock to us all.
Obv it's hard being alone with it filthy, but there's always someone you can reach out to. In this case katari was there.

You being more than 43 is wicked... not what I expected. You must have aged a lot in the year or so I've been away.

i'm old as dirt

good luck to your mom duck

filthy

Getting old isn't great. If only we could steal other people's youth, that's the world I want to live in.

Good luck to both filthy bro and duck mom

Cancer is the worst. Gl to you both.
