Thanks! The style that year was very big & pouffy. I was definitely the only person at prom in a dress like that. 🤣

You, in another decade.

Here’s a twofer for y’all. Me and @davewholovesbeer.bsky.social

Morning. Back to the grind. FT coworker is off for the next 3 days so I’ll actually get a few hours this week. Yay!

I’ve reached my tolerance limit for the unearned confidence of the mediocre man. I just cannot with them anymore today.

Like you I love the actor. But he just seems a bit too good looking. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not gonna lie I always pictured Kay as looking like Patricia (seems a heavily autobiographical character, much like Temperance Brennan/Kathy Reichs). So yeah. Nicole Kidman is definitely not it.

And Bobby Canavale? Seriously? Always pictured that character more like Dennis Frank from NYPD Blue.

Or when they do a series and the first season is incredible and as true to the books as you can get and then goes more and more off the rails with every subsequent season. I’m looking at you Outlander.

There’s a reason I studiously avoid movie/TB versions of books I love. My blood pressure just cannot handle it. 🤣

That looks sooooo good! We have nothing like that here in AL. I think is a mostly Detroit thing. I really need to go to Detroit! 🤤

I thought the same thing. But my daughter joined the Run Cult and she’s dragging me with her. 😂

Mostly I just want to improve my health and mobility. I likely won’t ever run. I just want to walk a little faster and a little farther.

I watched it happen to The Kid. Man those runners were relentless with their support, encouragement, kindness. 😂😂

I have a friend from high school and he and his wife did 28 half marathons and 1 full marathon in 8 years using this method.

They even did the RunDisney Dopey Challenge (5k, 10k, Half, and Full in 4 days). I will never do that. But a few 5ks and maybe a 10k would be cool.

The only speed I’m worried about is maybe finishing the 5k in 59:59:59. I’ll never ever be fast. I just want to be able to do the distance.

My body is old and janky but I figure I can probably walk 3.1 miles. 🤣

Oh now see you have “runner” in your profile so I know you’re a full member of the cult. This is how they get you. They start by being all helpful and nice. And the next thing you know you’re buying a running vest and signing up for a half marathon. 😂

Here’s what I’ll be doing for the next 11 weeks until my 5k. I think it’s doable.

If/when I decide to add running the Galloway method gives run/walk intervals as short at 5 seconds of running.

I doubt I’ll turn into a real runner. But I am pretty sure I’ve got a couple 5ks in this aging body.

I haven’t run a single step in decades. So many beginner 5k training plans assume a higher level of fitness than this body possesses. The Kid recommended the Galloway Method so I looked into it. It’s a much more, to my mind, realistic approach (not based on AI).

They even have a walking plan.

Y’all!! I’m so stoked! The Kid is coming to town for my birthday which happens to be Memorial Day weekend so we just signed up to do a 5k together the day after my b-day!!

I typically enjoy this guy’s videos. But holy fuck he missed the mark here. The young woman in the stitched video is spot on. I’m the palest shade of Pastian and I see the double standard clearly. It’s sad that he pretends not to. And the comments are shit.

I was vaguely aware of who he was before he uttered his wrongness so arrogantly. But I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him get roasted. 😂

So this video (not posting the whole thing because it’s long) is both fascinating and depressing. People who are this beautiful make me feel so sad for me. 😂

Also, I have no patience to be that good at makeup.
