I know its spoopy season but people are writing…
HARD SAME i love creepy shit but have 0 actual ability to tolerate it :( :( :(
the number of movies and shit I can’t watch or read is so many
like in college, friends had a movie watching party and it was silence of the lambs. I’d never seen it and made it through like 20 mins of the movie or something before I had to leave the room. freaked me out so bad. some stuff can give me vivid nightmares too, which is the worst
I can withstand it, and I made it through some pretty ill-advisedly creepy stuff in my youth, but I’ve realized as I age that my brain keeps creepy things impeccably preserved in some kind of nitrogen-filled chamber with steel doors that it then opens up at inopportune moments like if I have to walk down a flight of stairs in the dark or through a hallway or like hey, spend a night in a canvas tent in some dark woods by myself, oh yeah.
I can enjoy the frisson of terror in the moment, I am delighted by creepy things, I love horrifying imagery just like anyone does– but it gets stuck in my head and comes back like intrusive thoughts exactly when I don’t need it to, and I can’t get rid of it.
I can’t even abide horror-humor. I watched Scream right after it came out and then had to deal with flipping my shit every other day when I had to walk down a dimly-lit hallway to a class, every other day, ugh, for weeks, ugh. and it was supposed to be a funny movie! but all I could think about was some creepo in a mask bursting out with a giant knife, and blood, blood, blood.
So. No thanks. Life’s too short. I know myself, and I have other shit to do than deal with that sort of bullshit.
Enjoy the scary creepy things, rest of the world. I’d love to, but I have to remain a functional human, thanks.

my sister wants to get potato seeds but they’re not reliable for basically any variety. you gotta get seed potatoes, and those are heavy and prohibitive to ship. it’s so expensive.
Yeah, last year I got 2.5 lbs of seed potato and it cost me just as much to get them shipped as it did to buy them. But they produced around 20 lbs of potatoes so I came about even cost with store bought and the potatoes tasted amazing so I’m going to expand potato production next year, do two or three varieties
for me, I’m ok with the inconsistency of true potato seed because I’m going to be the one eating them and I baby my experiments pretty well. I’m also good about isolations and such so I suspect I can get them isolated and maybe do some breeding selection but who knows! It’s garden scale stuff, you know?
Most of my plots this year were like ten square feet and I’ve gotten some decent yields out of some, enough for one person which isn’t all that much.
yeah, garden scale stuff is just such a different concern… I used to have an intensive garden in my backyard here but I just couldn’t keep it up. I miss gardening.
But, now I have access to the farm, and they have a proper greenhouse, so. Veg Manager is good at experiments and such. He had artichokes he started in pots and then moved outdoors– and the experiment yielded enough that he could give them out to all 110 subscribers, so that was pretty exciting!
i guess they’re making progress with potato seeds, so I’m excited to know how well you do.
I am trying to convince Sister and Veg Manager to grow sweet potatoes again next year, but the deer are so fond of them that I’m probably going to have to set up a stand and guard them if they deign to grow them, lol.

Sometimes I feel like history repeats itself. This song is from 1992 but it’s still pretty goddamn topical.

idk why the folks from ontario were so tired by them but when i lived in VT the quebecois would come down to do shopping on the weekend and they Never Used Their Turn Signal!!!
don’t get me started on canadian drivers omg
the whole drive back there was an suv with ontario plates that literally never one time got into the right lane no matter what
like
oh my god
anyway. there are worse neighbors to have but don’t ever take their politeness for weakness ok
i say this as someone who has Spent Some Time on the QEW and man you take your life into your hands
also Canadians on the whole seem to be allergic to, or at least agnostic about, the concept of cruise control, which as someone who then has to drive behind/ next to them, is Exhausting, so

closed the curtains so hopefully no one will come by
lol we’ve got the lights dim and no exterior lights on at all.
we’ve done the halloween thing here before, put pumpkins on the porch and turned all the lights on, and we got like, five kids all strangers, so we just– don’t now. we’re at the wrong end of the block and there are no kids on our street. so. it’s not worth it, i end up eating all the candy myself. and our doorbell doesn’t work so if we don’t see the kids come up we don’t know they’re there. so just. no. and none of the neighbors do it. so.
enjoy, everyone else, but it’s not for me this year.
