Reading the description before I read the item name made it eight billion times funnier for me. God I love this game!

Update on this: taking 5 weeks off over Christmas turned out to be not great for my overall sanity

Having YouTube on in the background as I’m marking and I’ve noticed that if I don’t touch it for 15 minutes or so, as soon as I jiggle the mouse it will play an ad

I know Japanese can be a vague language but this student just wrote that her future plan was to β€œdevelop completion through various stimuli” and I think she just described the future plan of every organism since blue-green algae blooms

Got home and found my leather lotion had spilled all over the inside of my shoe cleaning stuff box. What the FUCK is going on today

Feeling considerably better now that I have daisy-chained a few paid days off together and will be officially starting my Christmas holiday in 8 days

Woke up with a dim hangover thinking it’s Saturday. It’s not. It’s Tuesday. Rolled over and saw that my water bottle got knocked over in the night and had drenched four books. Currently at work wondering if I can somehow shut myself in my locker for the rest of the day

I love eating sun dried tomatoes but I hate the bucolic image their name gives you, when in reality if you want to make them yourself you have to have your oven on for 72 hours straight

@uncannyjapan.bsky.social saw this on Mercari and thought of you- never seen Cthulhu translated as 九頭竜 before but it kinda works don’t you think? Kuzuryu… Cthulhu…

I’m reading Hitchhikers Guide as a bedtime book for my son- not read it since I was 16 or so- and I’m sad to say it is not half as good as I remember

It’s called a β€œprimer” because it β€œprimes” you for something. Why do some Americans pronounce it β€œprimmer”?

You’ll never believe it, but this Kazuo Ishiguro novel I’m reading features an unreliable narrator trying to make sense of the past whilst also navigating an uncertain present. A shocking left turn I’m sure!
