Oxo cooking utensils. First I got their hand powered whisk, then the grater, then the hand powered food processor. These are cooking accessories that bloody brilliant you want to fuck them!

love oxo!! I am a fan of their potato masher, locking tongs, whisks, ice cube trays w lids, pepper mill w crank, pizza cutter, silicone pastry brush, brush and dustpan, angled measuring cups, coctail strainer, and sink strainer. Not a fan of their bottle brush, the neck is too flimsy!!

Odds Against Tomorrow, i meant.
the Oxo hand-powered food processor is a work of genius, product design perfection, one of humanity's greatest achievements etc .. imo!

I had an Oxo angled measuring cup for a while, thought it was fine, then I managed to break the handle clean off at some point and I was like welp. Replaced it with Pyrex. Still a good idea, just too destructible.

It's probably worth mentioning that one of Oxo's product designers also used to design sex toys.
(we have a LOT of Oxo stuff - faves are probably the salad spinner, the pineapple cutter, the coffee press cleaner, but all are indispensable)

Bicycling 15+ miles around the city with nowhere in particular to go and little plans as to my routeYES. This is so much fun. For years and years I lived in small areas (10,000 - 30,000 people) and now live in a small city with ~500k in the metro area and its so much fun to randomly end up in weird neighborhoods I didn’t know existed.

Fred Gwuynn turning into a semi serious actor towards teh end seemed quite great.MUnsters are pretty cool, did they start as Ersatz Addams family. or is there something else there.Anyway got to see them at a point i find them quite iconic. & seeing the Standells on there was quite humourous.Assume i must have first discovered tehm asa tv standard in NYC in the mid 70s.
I really enjoy Charles Addams cartoons too.

Horror masks leftover from Halloween seem all too fitting for Covid.The leather jackets I picked up in a charity shop in town a couple of weeks ago.Finally got a Schott even if its not the style I really wanted and doesn't have the top pocket that is normally a feature of this style. IT looks quiite good though.
Catching up with a stack of tv shows i haven't kept up with currently watching through The Witcher, Catherine the Great, Utopia (2020), finished Trickster yesterday, Name of teh Rose tv show, Mrs America, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, PEN15 and a few others. just tried out Flight Attendant last night.

Perhaps what our weary nation needs is a thorough Addams vs. Munster smackdown.
(Though to be fair, there should be a distinction made between the teevee shows and the movies. Really not fair to put anything up against the impeccable Julia/ Huston/ Ricci/Lloyd/ Cusack casting.)

Definitely to the travel part of it (and the cats). Obviously there's the existential element to retirement - the Prospero 'every third thought shall be my grave' thing - so the current state of affairs has the added benefit of not having the sense of forever attached to it.
