I bought a new refrigerator, and the first delivery attempt failed, and it had to get redelivered today. So I don't have any ice at home. So I went out searching for more ice.

The convenience store across the street: all out. QFC: had some but they were having a power outage and weren't letting people open the freezers. Safeway: doesn't carry it at all.

So I tried Saar's Discount Grocery, and I lucked out as I got there just as they got a new delivery of ice.

Possibly the only good thing to happen on Nextdoor.

(When I first saw it, I just saw the first post and then the "happy to see this" comment and was wondering what the heck there was to be happy about!)

Dream (disturbing) 

I had a dream that it was dark out, nobody knew what time it was, none of my devices could tell me...

so I checked YouTube, and there was a collaboration video from a couple of cooking channels where they were showing how to cook a ferret. And the ferret they started with had been flayed and gently roasted, but still alive, and lurching around, blind and in agony. And I tried reporting the video as animal cruelty but everyone called me a snowflake. And finally I saw that it was 10:50 AM.

So I shut down my computer and went outside, and it was dark because everything was on fire, everything was burning, the sky filled with smoke and fire. The streets were full of people stoking the flames and trying to trying to destroy what was left, and I took photos of it on my phone, and posted them on Instagram, and my mom replied saying it was such a shame and implied it was all my fault.

Fiona and I just had an entire conversation in slow-blinks.

so I’ve been letting Fiona outside for limited amounts of time (after having gotten her a reflective collar with a bell) and she’s discovered the joy of eating grass. Which I know because of how much grass is in the vomit I've had to start cleaning up all the time.

haha wow they literally used a generic furnace filter as a prop, you just don't see that on Discovery

also I can't believe this series is 20 years old already, no wonder it looks so dated

I'm finally spending more time with Star Trek: Enterprise and like... gosh, the stories were way more interesting than anything they did in Picard. Or even Discovery.

New Trek definitely is missing a lot of what makes Star Trek Star Trek.

Enterprise does suffer a lot from over-reliance on half-baked CG effects, but at least they're using it to tell stories, rather than just spectacle.

I keep getting YouTube ads for doomsday prepper meal kits “for patriots.” There’s a lot to unpack there.
