“You’ve got to think of what you want to do, and then you’ve got to get out and make that happen.” May she rest peacefully.

“You can wish your life away. But if you're going to dream, you're going to have to get out and, like I always say, you have to put some wings on them dreams, and some feet and fingers and some hands. They gotta get into some stuff. You can't just sit around and think of all the things you want to do. You've got to think of what you want to do, and then you've got to get out and make that happen."

I’m trying to better myself so I read “Macbeth” and this is what I got from act two.

Real slick. And this is before the ghost showed up (though after the witches).

Lisa Eldridge’s launch today is an eyebrow gel

Here’s the video on it. I have to say that I was hoping there would be color options besides clear. I might pick it up next time I repurchase the skin tint but I’m not sure I’ll be going out of my way specifically to buy this.

TL;DR/W: The product description says it can be used for brows and flyaway hairs, too: “Lightweight fixing gel formulated to lift, shape and perfect brows and tame flyaway hairs.”

The Minnesota Zoo’s summer Wanderlight Trail wraps up this evening!

If you went, what did you think? It didn’t top the jack o’lantern trail for me, but my kids enjoyed it.

It’s almost the 16th anniversary of Taemin wearing The Shirt in the “Lucifer” dance practice video. What will you be doing to observe this holiday?

I myself will be watching the video on repeat until my brainwaves match the rhythm of the universe.

My strategy the first time I tackled this book: Read every last word. Commit everything to memory. You never know what’s important!

Mistakes were made. Aspirin was taken. But I did get to read blocks of Zampanò’s musings on postmodern media and the philosophy of meaning.

Von Maur has Halloween decorations up. Is this the earliest sighting of spooky stuff in the metro this year?

And furthermore, how long until we see Christmas decorations? Honestly, I don’t blame them for being over summer. Between non-breathable air and non-parasite-free lettuce, I’m over it, too.

I just read every word of “House of Leaves.” Now I have big evening plans.

I didn’t want to miss anything and now my head hurts a little and I’m wondering what was real and what wasn’t. I *do* know that mental illness is a bear and we’d all do better to 1: try to resolve our childhood traumas and 2: openly communicate in our relationships. But the rest… man. I don’t know.

The “lemon meringue pie and hot chocolate” line from Johnny’s mom’s letters made me hit the brakes and think, “WAIT—“

Early voting’s started! What are your takes on the primary election (NOT counting the governor or senate races)?

I’ve seen a lot on the big races but almost nothing on the medium-to-smaller ones. Let’s talk about primary elections for attorney general, state legislators, congresspeople, referendums, and all the municipal elections that aren’t glamorous (but do impact our lives). Have you voted yet?

I started this book last night for the first time and got through Johnny’s intro. He seems nice.

Seems like a cozy feel-good book.

I have no idea where you Bryceriels are getting it from!

Good thing they smoothed out all the bumps in their relationship forever and ever. On to book two!

Expected Crescent City to be ACOTAR with computers. So far, it’s actually this:

I’m halfway through book one and it’s just “Lethal Weapon” with angels and shifters. First I read “Fourth Wing” and it’s “Top Gun” with dragons and an equal amount of sexual tension between the two leads. Now this?

Disclosure: did not use AI on this, for those who were concerned!

Reading Crescent City and had no idea it included this jump-scare. This is the last time I read urban fantasy!

Listen, if I wanted to read about the darkness within us, I’d read “Feathers So Vicious” again. What’s next, SJM? Standup meetings? Spreadsheets? Slack messages?

I got that GWP with the ridiculous buy-in buuuuut waiting for the sale paid off

Obviously points come from money I spent so it’s not “free,” but I earned them at the 10x AAPI multiplier so it was a pretty good deal.
