one thing about me is that I'm looking stuff up. you mentioned something and I don't know it? I am pulling out my phone and googling that shit. an actor? theoretical physics? a world leader? a vocabulary word? I am on the wikipedia page as we speak

the thing about people is that they love to reduce complex scenarios to binary dichotomies, which is entirely understandable psychologically and sociologically speaking, but is also undeniably like trying to do home improvement on an ancient sprawling labyrinth to renovate it into a white-walled unfurnished studio flat

Went up to my mother's today because her sister, one of her brothers, his wife, and the sister's step-daughter were all there to visit her. They live in Oklahoma, so my mother doesn't get to see them very often.

It was interesting. Also my mother let me bring home a photo album with lots of pictures of my father and me.

I only have maybe three clear memories of him, but in these pics he's holding me as a baby and playing with me and sleeping next to me and smiling with me.

Also of course there's a picture of me with my little Strawberry Shortcake toy guitar. My mother said that Daddy played guitar so I wanted to play too.

I really should get back to writing. I never really learned how to play guitar, but I am decently good at writing. So I like to think his music continues through my words.

We really should rewatch Inspector Koo next time we have an open spot for an older show in our watchlist.

It's about a grizzled older female detective going after a young female serial killer. Whenever people talk about representation of female characters and older women I always think of it. Highly recommended. :)

Was jamming to my 90s playlist on the way back home from the blood donation place, and I gotta tell you: I think doing something that's important to you that helps other alive people is a great mood lifter.

All done woooo! Go blood go!

Trying to donate blood again in about an hour. I guess if it doesn't work this time I should schedule a doctor's appointment.

I just want y'all to know I check my tumblr in the morning and someone's discussing ecology restoration and someone is posting photos of medieval manuscripts and someone is gushing about a blorbo I've never heard of but it clearly just makes them so happy and someone has tagged me in a quiz and someone is speculating about an aspect of Middle-Earth or Greek mythology that I honestly have never considered and maybe making art about it and everyone is making their little corner of existence better and more loving in some way and I just love y'all so much

My son has acquired a kitten for his sister through a friend at school. The kitten will be brought home next week.

Today he went to his friend's house and took a picture of the kitten.

...I have concerns about what we may have gotten ourselves into.

As long as I'm posting about my musical heritage:

I'm 'bout to eat the last oatmeal creme pie. :)

I didn’t grow up with religion but I did grow up with music.
