Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).

It’s about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it

I’m so sorry, sir! All I found in the women’s cabinet was blatant misogyny, all of the casual emergency/accidental misogynies are a week late because I am ON MY PERIOD!!

What, you don’t like cold soured apple curd tart cream? It has nutmeg in it!

Showering is very difficult with broken hands.

Thank you, kind stranger!

Divorce her immediately.

The lyrics support this.

Well, the party was nice, the party was pumpin’ Heya, yippie yi yo And everybody havin’ a ball Huh, huh, yippie yi yo I tell the fellas start the name callin’ Yippie yi yo And the girls respond to the call I heard a woman shout out Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?

Fucking SAME. I bartended and served through college (my degree doesn’t pay well due to YouTube tutorials that have flourished in my industry, lol ouch) and after, and then finally at 30 I started temping in manufacturing, which led to me permanently hired at a huge company with ridiculous benefits, and am now a supervisor in engine assembly that will make 6 figures in 3 years.

I desperately wish I had gone into trade school when I was 18.

GRRRRRRUBHUB! VS! TACO BELL! BEGIN!

I know it wouldn’t slap the same on Lemmy, but that is a user account I miss deeply.

Wow!!! This is fascinating-- I was raised with

Great big gobs of Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts Propagated Porcus Puts Sterilized Monkey Eyes, And me without a spoon! scoop Too Bad!

I think my mom was crazy on second thought

You’re the one that’s crazy!

Tracy Jordan says it best in 30 Rock -“No, Superman does good. You’re doing well.”

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

I feel called out. I feel proud, but also sad. I feel proudsad. I feel prad.

Ootini!!!

Oooooooh this one is fun, as I just solved the riddle today! I kept getting Korn’s Falling Away From Me stuck in my head, which would morph into other Korn songs, etc. I couldn’t figure out why the fuck it was in my head so much. Today in the shower I had Nookie in my head which is a song I only recently remembered existed in the first place. For whatever reason, nookie morphed into In the End. And then. THEN it turned into Falling Away From Me because of the similarities of the piano ending of In the End reminding me of the guitar intro to Falling Away.

I have been going through this for days. It drives me nuts. Why on earth would Nookie be in my head? I’m 37, and I did my time with Limp Bizkit and Korn… cut to today when my phone alarm went off before work.

I have an alarm set to play The Head That Controls Both Right and Left Sides Eats Meats and Slobbers Even Today, because the beginning is a Japanese woman absolutely shredding vocally. It is a good wakeup.

So. Today, and all last week, I’ve had a rapid earworm race from The Head–>Nookie–>End–>Falling Away. All the way to work in the morning.

After that it’s just whatever is playing around me.

Might change my alarm.

She was running around pointing at everyone who refused to take the ball from her, because they all already had basketballs themselves or weren’t talented enough to play the game.

I don’t wanna talk to you no more!
