It’s back to work tomorrow, so I’m taking one last day to really enjoy myself.
I have to say it’s been pretty weird having been off work for three months during the school year. I’m saving most of it for a “rehab post”, but suffice to say it’s been pretty starnge watching the world unfold as (much as) normal while sitting on the sidelines. It wasn’t like summer vacation, where the world adjusts to the kids being out of schools. Instead, everything was going on as per usual & my presence in it was the outlier. If I was walking the dogs in the afternoon, when I’d normally be at school, it felt like I was encroaching on other people’s spaces or moments because ‘you’re not supposed to be here at this time’. I don’t think any of the neighbours are having affairs, but there definitely seemed more traffic during the day than I expected on our eight-house street. And with COVID shutting down most avenues for adventure, there were very few options for non-house entertainment.
Since my retirement eligibility isn’t for another eight years, I’d better figure my shit out before then. And there better not be any more fucking pandemics – I want to be the old man at the movies on a Wednesday afternoon!

I’m ready for it to end, even though I’ve enjoyed the perks.
It’s Rise & Grind tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Bill Murray should get nominated for On The Rocks, but he won’t win.
The Academy hasn’t released their nominations yet. But, if you’re a betting person bet the goddamn family farm on Chadwick Boseman to win best actor. Listen to me now. Get the best fucking odds you can and double the fuck down. It’s a lock.
I’ve also got Francis Mcdormand for best actress and if I was pressured I’d say Trial of the Chicago Seven for best picture. This shit is date and time stamped.
I think I can gamble on this here.
Well this is weird as hell. Four hours ago I transferred some containers of CBD oil and consumed a few leftover drops. It’s only just kicking in now, but it’s hitting me pretty damned hard.
And already starting to fade. How very, very odd.
…and now I’m having cookies.
last funny:
Do you think ghosts are annoyed that we never leave our houses now? Or are they happy to have us always on hand to haunt? And oh my god, ghosts in haunted hotels and haunted cruise ships must be so confused
Maybe the ones in hotels and cruise ships just think that their haunting worked
Is this clown non ironically wearing an ascot?
Enjoy it before someone yanks it down.

TONIGHT, NENEH CHERRY
found a funny:
kind of a bummer to have been born at the very end of the Fuck Around century just to live the rest of my life in the Find Out century
I should be thankful that I got to spend as much time in the Fuck Around century as I did.
Just happened on the national ESPN broadcast:
“We’re not quite at halftime, and the Lakers already have 69 points.”
“Nice.”
Dunno who said “nice” but I appreciate it.
I’m more of a Faces guy:

Seriously. Imagine if The Rolling Stones had Rod Stewart instead of Mick Jagger. Song by song. It’ll break your fucking brain. Here. I’ll get you started:
1) Tumbling Dice
2) Brown Sugar
3) Dead Flowers
Me too.
Starting the final now. I’m at 89 in the Scotties pool and I’ve got Ontario for the win, despite my deep burning love for Shannon Birchard on Canada.
What a woman.
Is it just me or is Amy Poehler looking like Beverly D’Angelo here?

You’re not wrong
To be clear, it is a compliment to both. Damn fine looking women.
Yeah, I don’t know who it’s more of a compliment to, to be honest.
Indeed she does. A good look to have. Very unique and witty take in the tweet.
Aaron Sorkin looks like a bloated Ted McGinley
Yep, if she pinned me it would only take 3 counts and I would be down, well ok 2 counts.
Evening. Lady BFC is watching the Golden Globes so let’s see how long I can take it before i choose ending my work procrastinating instead.
5 minutes.
And I’ll take the under
I’m a strong man.
And a passionate procrastinator.
“Passionate procrastinator ” is A DFO requirement
You’ll make it though the monologue and maybe 2 awards before you start to work
My onion soup came out looking pretty damn good tonight
You need to install a tap so I can pour that directly into my mouth.
Oh hell yeah!
Holy shit that’s gorgeous. How long did you have to carmelize the unyuns?
About 2 hours. I used J Kenji Lopez’s recipe from The Food Lab
The Small Faces sent me down an internet rabbit hole. They might have the record for band with the worst premature and unfortunate deaths. Someone was talking the other day about Rough Mix, Ronnie Lane and Pete Townsend’s mid 70’s record. I had that one in pretty much every format except 8 track. I think it may be Townsend’s greatest work, but that’s probably just me.
I stand firm in my conviction that Quadrophenia is the greatest work ever put together by Townsend or anybody else. I think it’s objectively the best album ever recorded.
To be clear, it’s my *opinion* that it’s objectively the best album ever recorded – and by “objective” if you compiled a list of ways in which an album could be great (music, lyrics, story, etc.) Quadrophenia would score highly enough in every category to be the best.
This one looks like she should be in one of those Korean boy bands. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Hope the shoulder PT goes well!
Nice!
My first thought when you said “rehab post” was: I miss those Monster drinks!
My second thought was: “Beerguyrob doesn’t have a drinking problem!”
My third thought was: “Oh! That’s right! He had a shoulder thing….”
