Johannes Vermeer enteres the chat

The light

[thaliawashere]

"His place is immaculate, not a crumb in the galley kitchen where he will show me how he has perfected the one egg omelet and brew his "chock full of nuts coffee". The spotless fridge holds a few cans of Pepsi, his preferred drink, and I add the bottle of club soda he has purchased for me at the A&P.

In the living room, everything feels spacious, serene, orderly. There are no newspapers strewn about - or ashtrays overflowing or unfinished projects piling up in corners. Everything in the room seems unified by order and function.

The zen surrealist atmosphere - white walls, tidy bookshelves, careful arrangement of art - all nesting around the piano, the Chickering baby grand. Only the piano has the look of being lived in. Sheets of music on one side of the worn padded bench and an ashtray on a stand on the other side. This is where he lives."

It's going to crack 100°F (37.8°C) in Boston, Massachusetts today. Yeah, it's more than a feeling. *Sets the gin in the fridge for later*

That glassware is deserving of homemade limoncello.

Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song.

I finally saw an ad in my feed that's relevant to my literal taste: McCormick's Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon rub. Of course, I make my own seasoning mixes, but at least I don't need to report this ad as offensive. However, I am disappointed by the implication that the general public doesn't keep bourbon on hand. It's not just for marinades, friends. Splash a little in a tumbler (with an e) and enjoy.

Person C (50-something me): 🎶 A little less conversation, a little more action please 🎶 *exits dancing*

Person A: "Man. I'm too old for this."

Person B: "You're 20."

Person A: "And you're 40-something. Worry about yourself."
