My dog is old and deaf now so it’s less of a problem anymore, but she used to occasionally go outside and bark at opossums on the back fence in the middle of the night. I was always mortified that she might wake up the neighbors and we’d try to get her back inside as fast as possible, which let me tell you is a struggle when there is an opossum, mom, no I don’t want to come in, I want that thing to come down so I can sniff the shit out of it.

They’re so spunky!

Hell yeah V-Tech. Pretty sure I had one of those blue phones in my room when I became a teenager. Or it might have been in my dorm, can’t remember.

As a kid I remember commercials for a local injury lawyer during daytime tv in the summer. His commercials were very memorable, just in the way he passionately talked. Now I see billboards for him and his son, and recently he was a sponsor at a college basketball event I attended. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug because I’m actually rather fond of him, in a stupid way.

In my area, he’s the only lawyer I see on billboards, or at least that I notice. When I visited Vegas, there were so many. (In my area, billboards are all nonsensical and if you look up what it’s supposed to be for, it’s always AI. Can you guess where I live? Sigh.)

Yeah this is what I was thinking too. I worked for a mom and pop hobbyist store, and Starbucks. Obviously Starbucks was worse. But would it be worse than, say, a mall clothing store or Target or Walmart? Not sure.

Man I went to a party last week, had one glass of red wine and no other alcohol, and woke up the next morning with a killer headache. I’m 42 and not much of a drinker but this kind of reaction made me think it was specifically the red wine. I ain’t doing that again for a long while, if ever.

As an actor or the role?

I recently watched some of a random episode on YouTube and it happened to be about how he and Samantha first met, literally the night before he was gonna marry someone else, and he throws it away because he’s infatuated with her after she barely speaks to him. Is this what passed for romance in the 60s? Fuck.
