Thursday, I don’t care about you

This is amazing - so imaginative and creative!

Oh I also enjoy both of those albums a lot, especially Here I Stand Before Me and Comin’ Back Soon.

I love the Crash Test Dummies. Give Yourself a Hand is probably my favorite album but I also really like A Worm’s Life. Their records are all so different from each other too, which is nice because their sound evolved but remained recognizable.

Please give him a smooch for me, looks so soft and cuddly!

Tryin’ to holla at me

By the time NYE rolls around, I’m tired of festivities, not just because my social battery gets deleted, but also because the food served at gatherings really sets off my IBS.

I’m from NJ and there’s no audible difference between ladder and latter here. Both have a D sound.

I quit my PhD program in Physics because the misery wasn’t going to be worth the eventual paycheck, especially because I refused to work for contractors in the military-industrial complex. I ended up working for a while and got an MS in Applied Statistics, which is meh. Physics actually interested me. Statistics bored the shit out of me but it was useful for the field I ended up in. But now I’m retired, which is pretty satisfying!

I pronounce spigot as “spicket” but that’s normal where I’m from.

My mom had a couple of weird ones that took me a while to unlearn:

Stipend = “stipp-ind”
Antibiotics = “antee-BEE-otics”

Yeah I’m from NJ and same, but more like wooder.

Also orange = oar-inge
Florida = floor-duh

kitten = kih’-in
Trenton = chre’-in
