It's a great idea and they've really thought it out. Your pet has to be registered with your employer and there has to be a minimum companionship period.

Next time I fill out a form that includes ethnicity, I'm going to write in "multispecies."

Apparently the Colombian Supreme Court is considering giving two days paid leave for the death of a pet.

Wow I'm impressed. You did much better than me at 35.28. I never stopped to think of actually remembering and recreating a color. Much harder than I thought. The last one for me was a kind of golden ochre and it was impossible. But that was fun!

There's a kid on the tictoc called Empathetic Starseed (insert large eye roll here). He's maybe 11 or. 12.and he sits and talks with his space cadet mom about things like the existence of souls, what happens after death, what heaven is like, the consciousness of cells...you know, normal kid stuff.

Today I heard him explaining how aliens are attracted to earth because in all of the universe, this is the only place that has wood. Aliens want our wood. They're not going to hurt us, but they want wood. It's rarer than diamonds, rarer than anything else.

He never explains why or what it's for. Maybe it's a souvenir kind of thing. Like "my Klingon parents went to earth and all I got was this stupid 2x4."

Wood for aliens. Go figure.

The other Mr went to the supermarket to get some cheese and came home with a can of brie. This is a first for me.

The vet who had an office just three doors down has closed shop without notice. Three doors down. And Curly liked him. Shit.

I sent a WhatsApp what happened message but no response yet.

I absolutely hate the smart washer in this apartment. The motherboard or whatever makes it smart had to be replaced twice and the landlord is bitching because it cost $500 each time. And it's about to go again.

If I ever had to buy one, it would be a basic agitator machine, probably a Speed Queen. My mother bought a used one and that thing was a tank that lasted her at least 15 years.

I have a slightly used Fire stick I can FedEx to you in Suriname. When she's older you can tell her it's history.

Harold and Maude is such a good movie, but "May he fly" made me think of Brewster McCloud, a really quirky Robert Altman movie where his character lives in a fallout shelter in the Houston Astrodome and builds himself some wings with the help of Sally Kellerman. His love interest is Shelley Duvall. And Margaret Hamilton aka the wicked witch of the west is murdered and covered in bird poop.

He was always fun to watch.
