@joeo10 Now that's a double feature.

Is "Howard the Duck" a New Year's movie?

Too much negativity in the world this morning. Then someone ambled by on a bike with a golden retriever riding in a cart in the back like the coolest, cheeriest fuzzy friend ever. Sweet-Face Dog looked at me happily, and I was like, "I KNOW! You're getting to ride around with your favorite person and smell things and see the world, and why was I feeling bad? Can't remember."

@skinnylatte I don't want to live in a world where there are no otter socks.

Becky's PSA of the Day: If you are of age and haven't received your shingles vaccine, I invite you to seriously consider it. I got shingles in January 2023 and still have nerve pain. Because viruses are mean. 😡

@joeo10 Yeah, he does enjoy the high drama!

Husband: Children, I'm about to introduce you to the best TV show you've never seen.

Me: Quantum Leap?

Husband: Say Yes To The Dress.

Me: ...

@joeo10 Thank you! I could put that bold Liquitex blue in anything.

Oooooo do I love mixing acrylic paint on a gel plate

YOU GUYS the scenic artist at my theater painted a little drain on the set floor, and it is the cutest thing that an audience may never notice. But we shall love it just the same.

(The play, "Clyde's" by Lynn Nottage, is set in a restaurant kitchen.)

Wild Turkey West Side Story: the musical you never knew you needed

@joeo10 Thank you. 🩷

Sure, just break into a theater, ransack the box office, and steal props for a show that's about to open. It's not like our entire industry is still trying to recover from the pandemic shutdown. 🫤

@joeo10 😮

this sums up my kid's birthday party yesterday to a t

(actually, it was a great time! except if you were a cupcake.)

@joeo10 I lived in Budapest for about two years, after going there as a traveler and falling in love with the place. It's a beautiful and fascinating city, with a real mix of architecture, and Hungarian is so different that it's a wonderful adventure for anyone who likes language. Great pastries, too. 😊

I lived in Budapest a long time ago, and I was never by any means fluent, but there are still words that come out of my mouth in Hungarian even before English. "Istenem" for "My God," for one. And whenever I get something in my eye, I complain, "Mindig van valami a szememben." We may never know why. Languages are weird and wonderful things.

@joeo10 I like to be on the cutting edge.

Planning for a Mario Bros. birthday party is afoot, and I am outraged that my boys want me to dress up as a Goomba.

I AM 100 PERCENT PRINCESS PEACH (the modern version who rescues herself)

@joeo10 I immediately grabbed one of the artist's postcards. So interesting!
