Thanks for giving me a place to share our adventures.
It’s so quiet in the house today.

a screen capture of Alysa Liu's smiling face right after her performance when she looked right into the camera and said "that's what I'm fuckin' talkin' about!" and in the foreground is a post from stone.cold.jane.austennn that says "If I send you this, then that's what I'm fuckin' talkin' about"

I totally didn't get the setup of the joke when I posted the title, but I'm not going to change it now.

I'll have to get the t-shirt...
I've spent a lot of time in this. Glad to have a word for it.

An old small grey tractor sits in a snowbank. In front, a large and out of focus samosa is being held out to it
I'd heard about the tiny gas station in rural Ontario that made fantastic samosas, but only got there yesterday. They are truly amazing. One type (veggie: potato) but everything about the flavour and texture is perfect. The tamarind sauce is a nice dip, too.
Regional Variety & Gas Bar: 1670 St Paul St West, St Catharines
It's surrounded by vineyards. It's about half an hour west of Niagara Falls. We have amazing samosas in Toronto, but these are next-level.

Reminds me of the (in)famous gas station sushi here, on a state highway in what used to be a rural area but exurban development has swarmed past it within the past decade.
Gas stations with southern cooking and soul food hot bars are very much a thing hereabouts, it's one of the main ways to get fried chicken or pork chops once you're outside the cities, but the gas station sushi shop is still unique as far as I can tell. I haven't tried it yet but want to, it's not in a convenient place for us to get to. They sell teeshirts and other swag because of course they're leveraging the fact that people want to show off to their friends about the time they had gas station sushi.

I've heard tell of a truckstop in Minnesota frequented by South Asian truck drivers that has amazing food, but I haven't verified the stories yet...
@ardgedee gas station sushi sounds like russian roulette
@ba I remember hearing of a similar place near Phoenix, AZ. Phoenix has had a Sikh community for over a century.

@scruss That's the angle, really. You're set up to expect frozen sushi from a factory in New Jersey or something and you get served a decently good meal. Not "food of my homeland by the sea" good but you'll enjoy it and you won't die.
Anyway, damn I could kill a good samosa or two right now. It's been a while since I've had the opportunity.
anything but metric!
@ardgedee "not die" is an important part of me enjoying food, at least so far
@travis as a Canadian, I resent that! These samosas were roughly 95 mm to the side, and about 30 mm thick. Converted into Canadian metric driving units, that's 3.42 seconds and 1.08 seconds, respectively

A beige tote bag with the Rebel Loon insignia, a mashup of the Star Wars rebel insignia and the state bird of Minnesota, in red ink. The loon’s wings make a circle with the tips at the top, pointing to an eight pointed star. The head of the loon is angled toward the top right.
Some neighbors and I went to a screen printing event this afternoon.

"This is a chord. This is another. This is a third. Now start a band."
@snarkout *three* chords? In this economy???
narrator voice: she got sent many things that were not that
^^^^^^ very much this ^^^^^
These songs are all about you
And I'm tellin' everyone I'm doin' fine without you
I hurt you but I helped you
You may think I've a lot of nerve
But I deserve some credit
Or at least an edit
Take out the part that breaks my heart
And makes me sound uncaring
If you eliminate the swearing
Then I could show my mother
That you can go from one chord to another
G will turn to D
You'll turn to me
And you'll say
You have done me wrong
I wrote these songs about it
She's aware it's all been done before
It's another song in this key
Yeah, but this one's about me
That all the validity she needs
Her criticism's brutal
But I don't really mind
Yeah, she's put it out on vinyl
But it's pretty hard to find, but you will hear
G will turn to D
You'll turn to me
And you'll say
You have done me wrong
I wrote these songs about it
I wish I'd never taught her how to play
I knew she'd get me I should have known
Now her hands are on the fretboard
In an unfamiliar way
And it's tellin' me
She's aware it's all been done before
It's another song in this key
Yeah, but this one's about me
I may not wanna hear the words to
G when put with D
But if you take what you're shown
Learn on your own
Then everything you do
Belongs to you
But know that you are on your own
And I'm tellin' everyone I'm doin' fine without you

@crazyunclejoe bigtime
I couldn't make sense of it since I used to own a house with a garage bigger than the house. The boxes finally tipped it off.
I still don’t get it. Menses? Werewolves? Apollo?
@mare
Where do you see boxes and pallets with roll up doors?

Somehow this sticker is pro-safety, FAFO, "we could both lose" and humanizing all at the same time.
This electrician has clearly been in the business since AOL Instant Messenger days.

I'm seeing that attributed to Elena Gorokhova, a Russian-American author, specifically from her 2010 memoir A Mountain of Crumbs
https://www.google.com/books...
https://www.google.com/books...
@ba I am so tired of enshittification of the internet
Thanks to the Game Changer episode Deja Vu, I am aware that he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970.
I read The Gulag Archipelago.
@ba Well, how many divisions does Elena Gorokhova have?
A dissident was seen handing out flyers on a street corner. The secret police picked him up and arrested him for treason. However, they didn't look at the flyers until after they threw him in a cell, and found they didn't have proof they just had empty sheets. So they dragged him out to an interview room. "These papers you were distributing, why are they blank?" "I don't have to say anything; everyone already knows."

Last night I watched the documentary "Secret Mall Apartment" about the group of artists in Providence, RI that set up a hidden crash pad in an architectural dead space at a giant shopping mall (Netflix; trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch...)
In it they talk a bit about Fort Thunder, the performance space in an old warehouse/factory in Providence that Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale, who is featured in the doc, started with some friends that was eventually razed by developers.
That led me to looking up old footage from those days and eventually this tour video from 2001.
So, if you watch the Secret Apartment doc and find yourself wanting to dig deeper into the Providence scene around that time, this makes a fitting companion piece. Or if you're just a fan of Lightning Bolt and want to see some old footage, here you go.

I saw a Fort Thunder wrestling show. Wild stuff.

Cold cast bronze pendants with heavy patina
Some of the cursed objects I am making for Adventureland Day. I have 32 that are probably going to be done tomorrow - which is well under my goal, but it’s been a crazy year so whatever I complete will be what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’ve got great consistency!

Finished the "Electives Department as an album cover" project!
I love this.

Hilarious! Kids will love this…..even if they never say it out loud.

A wide-angle shot of a rocky terrain in Iceland, with my wife appearing in the distance in the center of the image, and a waterfall far away to the side, with dramatic textured clouds covering the sky.
The scope of the landscape is always hard to capture properly. This is a li’l roadside in Kjósarhreppur… maybe þórufoss? Zoom in to see my beloved in the middle of the frame at the edge of a cliff you can’t really see.
Just want to go sit in the hot tubs in the community pool and drink coffee at Reykjavik Coffee Roasters and have a roll (or three) at Brauð.
