Cancel that Cialis prescription, doctor, I think I’m cured!

san francisco love

Posted on September 12, 2021 by | 2 comments

Sometimes music can redirect one from heading into a mental funk.

This brought on an immediate righting of the ship.

15 nice remixes of San Francisco Love by Royal Sapien. The CPM Edit is my favorite. I heard it on SomaFM, then found the 15 remixes on Deezer, both great sources of music. Youtube probably has some.

San Francisco was a beacon of hope and love for me when I was a teenager through twenties. I think much of that has drained away from that city, but I can think about those old feelings.

lucky lottery coin

My lucky lottery coin from the NC Lottery that I got yesterday at the NC Folk Festival. It worked. I bought a $10 scratch-off which qualified me for a spin of the wheel (a la Price is Right). I won $50. 💰

last supper

Posted on September 8, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Thinking of when a good net friend in Iran sent me on messenger a selfie of him smiling under a portrait of the Last Supper.

I waited awhile and said, “you’re actually going to send me that with no explanation?”

He replied, “lol, I thought you’d find it funny, so I was waiting. They aren’t rare here. (the portrait)”

My friend is a good one with good humor.

wine

Posted on September 8, 2021 by | Leave a comment

On the cheap side but drinkable. Plenty good enough for the Nature Preserve.

At least the 1.5L bottle will last a few minutes. .75L kinda small. 🍷

200 milliliters in spanish please

Posted on September 3, 2021 by | Leave a comment

I was watching a video of this Mexican woman making a recipe, and when she said “doscientos mililitros de agua” (two hundred milliliters of water) I almost laughed because it was so beautiful. She was singing it out.

For me, Mexican Spanish appeals the most. The vowels can be so clarion.

The Spanish of Spain, Castilian, is all messed up. 😂
