The year is 1543. “We’ve got a great female jester lined up for you next,” announces the Squire to the court. I grumble. “Someday they’ll just introduce us as *jesters*,” I huff under my breath. I die from horse bite the next week.

ANIMAL CROSSING: you pull out a fish you caught two minutes ago and everyone in town applauds you. STARDEW VALLEY: you spend 19 days growing a carrot and give it to a woman who disdainfully says, “I don’t want this” yet still takes your carrot. The carrot costs 2,000 dollars.

Studios are avoiding marketing musicals as such due to feedback from test-audience focus groups, @DEADLINE reports: “test-audience focus groups generally hate musicals and the only way to get people into the theater with one is to trick ’em.”

Thanks to the 1000 angry ppl who rt’d this to tell me you can’t grow carrots. Unfortunately I did not know that because I had to stop playing Stardew; it gave me agita. To everyone who loves it, I’m glad for you! I am playing AC for the first time ever with my animal villager.

How am I? Well, I got on the subway, rode 25m, went to WORK, said hi to security, clocked in, then decided to pee before my shift started before looking in a mirror and noticing this is what I looked like. I don’t know how to be okay with this unless we’re all laughing about it.

As a child of 2 dead parents, I will say Mother’s Day is harder than Father’s Day because ads for Father’s Day are like “GET THE SWEATIEST MAN IN YOUR LIFE A HAND SAW!!!” but Mother’s Day ads are like “no one in the world will ever love you like your mother, not ever again.”

Someone asked what I ate for dinner last night. The truth was Triscuits, but I didn’t want to say that, so for some reason I said “soup.” They said, “it’s really hot out for soup!” Too caught in the lie, I replied, “Yep. I’m a freak for soup all year!” Nothing about this is good.
