wow, it's january!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
and i am doing things this month. i have committed to trying to do more things, i.e. challenging myself to leave the house.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i saw interstellar on thursday, a movie i'd never seen, since a local theater is doing a sci-fi revival thing for the month.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
it has the typical nolan problem of actually being two movies jammed together in a way that disrupts the pacing of the resulting extremely long movie, but i still liked it.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i have also embarked on a january purge project to rid my tiny apartment of the things i no longer use.
Gemini
leaving the house is getting harder every day
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
alternative: i will get some things out of the house.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
here she is!!
SAWAYAMA!
abigail <3
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i had to free feed her for a bit while i was on vacation and that plus the winter has turned her more round.
SAWAYAMA!
so she is Extra Cuddly
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
she's extremely cuddly.

obviously too much food for just me but the plan is to use the leftovers to make soup.

i got a pressure cooker for christmas so this will be my first test of itโ€ฆ broth.

lol
Lassarina
Anticipating a rerun of SF/BAL to be honest
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i say this but i feel this is the year the 49ers fail to make it to the nfccg, simply because they're the best team in the conference and that's how the nfl works.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
but yeah sf/bal is the easy pick.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
49ers don't turn over the ball 4 times challenge!!!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
speaking of sf/bal here's some pics (hah!) from the last game, which i went to.
Lassarina
Vikings out here setting up GB to not even have to care this afternoon lol
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
packers need the seahawks to lose too, right?
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i know seattle needs pack loss + win over cardinals
Lassarina
As of last week GB was the 7th seed
Lassarina
So I think they either need to win or need MN, (TB or NO) and SEA to lose
Lassarina
Which, two of the three currently happening, so
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
yeah i mean the packers need seattle to lose before they can completely tank the game to the bears.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
comedy option is of course two nfc south teams in the playoffs
Lassarina
Meanwhile: Jaguars PLEASE
Lassarina
Do not fizzle at the last second two years in a row I'm begging
Lassarina
Also the NFC South frankly doesn't deserve even ONE playoff team
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
that's why it's the comedy option.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
plus how many nfc teams deserve the playoffs this year, truly?
Lassarina
SF and Detroit probably
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
the rams imo deserve it and are a scary wc matchup.
Lassarina
Fair I haven't been paying much attention to the West
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
uh... eagles...
Lassarina
Eagles.....do not fly
Lassarina
But hey GB is in \o/ bye NO you can throw a parade to console yourselves
Gemini
oh no now I have to listen to at least two more weeks of Packer talk
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
au revoir seattle!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
my first time in a long while making the stock from scratchโ€ฆ usually i just hack it with a rotisserie from the grocery store.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
pleased to announce a new pizza place has opened down the road:
https://images.plurk.com/3NONCLOG394aPVTYh0OsSV.jpg
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
they gave me a $3 off coupon because the pie was "misshapen" so this was a $5 pizza.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
and they give away bread they make with the leftover dough!!
Gemini
daaaaaaaaaamn
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
my friend asked me "are you excited for snow this weekend?" and i felt a bit bad but i decidedly am not.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i have to go to work and either brave the icy roads which people in this town cannot drive upon, wait for public transport in the cold after dark, or some wretched combination of the two.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
the snow in portland is nice but only if you don't have to leave your house for a horrid service industry job.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i did, however, buy a bunch of groceries so hopefully i won't need to leave my apartment for any other reason.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
lol nevermind i tested positive for COVID so i'm staying home anyway.
Gemini
omg
๐–—๐–Ž๐–Œ๐–๐–™ ๐–•๐–—๐–”๐–•๐–Š๐–—!
!!! How are you feeling?
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
not bad just a mild cold feeling. i just thought i'd test to be safe and welp.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
someone is soft and it's: my cat
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
full on winter storm rnโ€ฆ there has been some snow but right now it's just chunks of ice.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i did an "e-visit" with my clinic and i said i would take paxlovid if they prescribed it but idk if i'll be able to leave if they do!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i figure i will cross that bridge when i come to it. i have no risk factors so idk if they will even prescribe it to me.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
anyway highly recommend having a cat.
harrenhalloween
ohhh noo
harrenhalloween
I hope it clears up soon!!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
she's had a cold too but i think she's doing better.
harrenhalloween

๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
she's happy in the sun. does she even know it's cold out?

got my order from the dรดen sale!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
have to say the packaging was also a+. they even included replacement heels for the shoes.
harrenhalloween
I caught bitzl fully sunbathing yesterday
harrenhalloween
omg replacement heels.......so thoughtful
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
anyway, i'm feeling better today. not completely recovered, but enough to be a little bit productive.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
(i'm not allowed to go to work yet and the city is still pretty shut down because of the snow, even though the storm is over.)
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
but i made my bed and am now making soup.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i am officially fed up of being stuck inside!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i've had a mandatory quarantine and then an ice storm hit on my first day "back"
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
and the roads are still icy!! why!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i went for a walk and the sidewalks sre still ice, so it was a slippery experience, but i need groceries.
SAWAYAMA!
i saw a video of a guy who tried crawling his way through the street and kinda just slid... down the street
SAWAYAMA!
poor guy got separated from his bag uphill
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
that is what i'm worried about. i can take the bus though.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
ugh play better 49ers!!
Gemini
oh god am I about to be subjected to another round of Packers 24/7?
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
the 49ers won the game.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
so, this might spare you. the packers are eliminated.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
49ers fans are just both desperate and spoiled.
Gemini
whew
Gemini
I can enjoy a quiet February now
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
49ers keep their bizarre streak of making the nfccg or missing the playoffs alive
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
it's been like 20 years
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
woke up and the power was out
Lassarina
That was a fucking wild game for a whole 20 seconds I thought the packers might pull it off
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i was at no point confident.
Lassarina
Oh I fully expected the Pack ti lose but they made SF work for it and I appreciate that.
Lassarina
Anyway I always knew my real team in these playoffs was Baltimore
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i am rooting for the nfc winner but that may be a lost cause.
Lassarina
That's valid. My boss is a Lions fan and he's so hype
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
look at this abigail!
Gemini
I approve of your improvised toy
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
it came together! it's a string loop with various things to attach to it
Gemini
oh, cool. I was like, is that a leash you put things on but I am incorrect, so neato!
harrenhalloween
what a good abigail!!!!
THE HIGHWAYMAN
blessed abigail
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
49ers pulled it off
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
like, honestly, the 49ers were imo the best team in the nfc this year and should be in the super bowl but the way they've done this playoff runโ€ฆ extreme cruelty to the nfc north.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
also note: this year's nfc was a fraudulent conference
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
me: god, i don't like the 2023 eagles-esque way the 49ers have been winning. that team was exposed and melted down spectacularly.
also me: on the other hand the eagles did beat the chiefsโ€ฆ
Lassarina
To be fair Detroit ended their season in the absolute most Detroit way possible
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
I am in awe of the strength if their curse
Lassarina
For me personally Niners/Chiefs is the most boring Super Bowl possibility but I am glad for your joy
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
that's a common sentiment which i understand to some degree but also it's a little wild to me how much that flipped from even just last year, where there was a lot more narrative goodwill towards the "49ers on 3rd string rookie mr. irrelevant qb" plotline
lorna
my nephew is excited, because he loves the chiefs. his twin brother is annoyed because he hates the chiefs. both of them are exasperated with me because when asked I said I was cheering for "Taylor Swift and also the marketers making the commercials"
lorna
my nephews are 9 and obsessed with football
Lassarina
I have nothing at all against the Niners other than beating the Pack but I wanted the Lions and Ravens as my optimal outcome
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
oh yeah, i do not expect packers fans to have any love for the 49ers, lol.
harrenhalloween
I am also rooting for taylor swift
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
that's incorrect, i'm sorry to say
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
the chiefs must lose for us to get peak taylor songwriting
harrenhalloween
that's valid. however she has the most cats
harrenhalloween
I think her football songs will be so interesting either way

the true cat team was the bills
Lassarina
Honestly Buffalo fans are pretty good people
harrenhalloween
happy for them and all the cats
harrenhalloween
my teams are the bears and whoever is nice to cats
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
bills fans just want to pet cats, jump through tables, and cry.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
anyway wish me luck because i've decided to have a difficult work conversation today.

short version is i keep covering for also trash talks me behind my back (and maybe doesn't realize i know he does itโ€ฆ)
