For those of you who chart the weather by my watch band: I switched from nylon to leather today so now it is cold

A photo of me posing in a costume. It’s a white ghost with a big head and long curvy legs that stretch out from my chest to my feet but are doing their own thing on the way down.

Last week I made a costume! It's the Cab Calloway leggy ghost from "Snow-White," the Max Fleischer Betty Boop short. I haven't sewn anything in a long time, and I made a lot of mistakes but I also really enjoyed the process and am excited to do some more soon.

Just booked a stay at Efteling hell yeah

A truly astounding UX oversight that one can search “Star Wars bar” in the Disneyland app and Oga’s Cantina is not among the results. (I remembered that it was called “Oga’s Cantina” as I was typing this.)

The other day I was a bar and a strange approached me. He asked, "Are you Paul Rust?" I said no. He smiled and put his hand out for a shake and said "I'm a big fan, just finished the series, loved it." I said "No, I'm not Paul Rust."

Did he think I was joking? Was he just rehearsing his big Paul Rust intro so hard that he didn't hear my answer? Does Paul Rust famously deny his identity in public?

A Prius parked away from the camera on a steep hill. The skyline in the distance shows we're very, very high up. Two wooden doors are poking out of the trunk, held down with bright orange straps.

I bought an old exterior door for $100 today from a friendly guy on Craigslist. I knew it wasn't going to fit in the car, so I brought some ratchet straps. What I didn't expect was that this guy lived on the higest point in Highland Park, up like a 50° hill. The car beeped the whole time home to make sure I knew the lift gate was unlatched, but otherwise I'm very proud of my tethering abilities! Also he threw in a solid interior door for free that I guess I'll use for lumber, hell yeah.

Cirque du Soleil is now on Roblox.

I started playing Hoplite last night and now I think I may never stop!

The flagrant consumerism in Roku City is frankly out of control
