I have a one burner cook top I’m borrowing from someone, a microwave, and an air fryer (a bitch to clean).
Lots of Trader Joe meals but it’s getting old.

As for Parquet Courts, I think they are a bit of an acquired taste. They were very fun in concert. If you haven’t given up on them completely I think their best album is the one from 2013 - Light Up Gold.

Do you think this is compelling enough that he will want to use it regularly. I just can’t tell.
He’s a big gamer already, makes and edits gaming viseo content, etc. definitely a tech oriented kid, but I’m still on the fence.
I mean if there were any other things on the Christmas wish list … lol

And the taste was only 50% of my issue with it. It came in basically a gallon (I think) jug and I had to drink 8 oz every 10 minutes interspersed with 8 oz of water over the course of 2 hours and then wait and do that all over again 7ish hours later. It was just SO MUCH Liquid!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad I was checked out, but I will definitely be asking if there is some other less heinous tasting or a less voluminous option.

After a lot of trial and error I found the right material to thread through the variously-sized button holes and I think I've got the right materials for the wings.
I also came up with enough buttons that would stack appropriately for each ornament that were also colored correctly. Which I think I've got now.
So sitting on my workdesk are baggies for each angels with all of the supplies. Now it's a matter or getting the prototype lined up and cutting the thread/ribbon. And then I think I can probably knock these out somewhat quickly actually.
Famous last words

She collected angels and I really want to turn the buttons into angels.
I have most of the remaining supplies. This first week is figuring out what I need and maybe a prototype?

I read Fantasticland a while back but I STILL THINK ABOUT IT! And Matt Ruff is pretty awesome. The book became a loosely based on series on HBO I believe.

Can I hijack this briefly to find out how Swiss German is different from German German? Is it like British English versus American English or…?
