After accepting an offer on our house last week, we had an offer accepted on a house today. Sounds like the chain might be near complete too, so hopefully we can get this done before the stamp duty holiday ends in March.

Recorded a duet with a friend - after so long in lockdown it's put the pep in my step!

Watching Barack Obama speak and campaign for Joe Biden reminds me how much more normal and better things used to be. Can we make just one exception this time and allow Mr. Obama to be president again? We are in circumstances so highly outside the norm that I think it would be okay this one time to allow Mr. Obama one four year term to steer us back. Yeah yeah, I know it would require a change to the Constitution, but I guy can dream.

Holy crap, a Rick Moranis sighting! Damn, I sometimes wondered whathappened to him and if he was happy. Growing up, we had the "Honey I" movieson pretty regular rotation, and they were a favorite of mine. I wondered ifhe was happy and content in retirement. He looks good, so this makes me happy. Leave it to that Canadian hunk Ryan Reynolds, to bring us this cheer.

Was watching a movie trivia show last night and this episode was about movie monsters. One of the questions was to name the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. In answering (it's Audrey II btw), they talked about Rick Moranis having the lead in the movie. I vaguely remember the movie, but I sort of recall Rick Moranis was excellent. Anyway, it brought a smile to my face thinking about Rick Moranis again. We'll not talk about that ugly incident in NYC recently, fuck that 2020 year bullshit.

Congratulations LA Dodgers fans and the team for winning the World Series. Been since 1988 that you last held dominion over the world in baseball. I know LA is serious about their baseball and the Dodgers, so good on ya.

The restaurants doing delivery since the pandemic. I never go out at night due to small child issues anyway so my eating repertoire has improved dramatically. Quesadillas and dirty fries tonight. Yes please.

This landed in my Inbox a few days ago.

Why 'Little Shop of Horrors' Is Uniquely Traumatizing

Isn't it weird how the serendipity of life will bring things like this to you in groups? It's like the subtle vibration of existence is trying to communicate something. I dunno what I'm sayin' It's close to Halloween, so maybe I'm just in a strange head space.

What the hell. Late afternoon, Halloween.

This dude, no older then in his early 20s came down my street riding his skateboard, wearing a 3 piece suit (without the jacket though), his vest had one of those sweet ass looking old-timer pocket watches. And he had full on detailed skeleton makeup and he was wearing a black beanie. And damn this dude was skinny as a beanpole. He must be going for some kind of hipster skeleton vibe. Then it dawned on me too late that he probably is a fan of the Tamsyn Muir Locked Tomb Trilogy books (Gideon / Harrow). I would have asked him but he was gone, skating away down the street.

This is the look he was rocking, sans the kick ass detailed skeleton head makeup. It's good to see some Halloween spirit out there in this 2020 shit year.

That was in answer to "where do you store most of your stuff?" but hey, if it's stupid but it works - it ain't stupid.

My kid has ARFID so finding foods he can eat is extremely stressful. Tonight, he asked to try some of the roast chicken I made and he ate an entire plate! That brings the number of foods he can eat up to 12!

Between Mass Effect news, the U.S. election result, and now this, I'm starting to thinking that 2020 may be running out of steam.

Is there a pattern to what he likes and doesn't like?

Nope! I wish there was. And because there are so few foods he often goes off the ones he does like as he gets tired of having the same things over and over.

He is getting more willing to try foods which look okay to him which is great. We went from not being able to sit near most foods to being able to look at them to touching them to sniffing them to touching the tip of his tongue to them to placing them in his mouth and now he will even swallow fifty percent of the time. So clear progress, it's just slow going.


I'm happy because the kid's nature club made damper today and I got to eat my body's weight in damper dripping with butter and jam.

Are you referring to woman stuff or your TV reception?
