Ok. Ozempic just became not funny, as I’m unable to refill my Trulicity prescription for actual Diabetes, due to shortages.

I did mine 20 years ago. Still pearly good luck.

On a scale from Jimmy Carr to Rylan :)

Argh, just the notion of our flag pisses me off. It's all about keeping score. It's not pretty like Canada's, or clever like Wales. Nope, it's just counting what WE have.

Isn't it about time for Berkowitz and Chapman to die? I have a feeling they'll go pretty close in line with each other.

Hell, man. I dunno :)

Beef bouillon if you're needing a little pick me up

#amwriting Perhaps the best sentence I've written all week:

Mayo for off days, ketchup for that special time of month

What an ordeal, I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

What happens after you FaceTime with a friend who is not sweet and hilarious. Everyone needs a Peter in their lives.

I know you're making another point, but when I'm able to jump in with nerdy linguistics stuff, I plunge :)

another great example; I shouldn't limit it to the word pane, when windows do so much heaving lifting: now there's a bird at my window, he beats upon the pain (That Bridge I Burned)

Perfect example! Come by and smash! I was listening to "One Bell Ringing" from National Ransom: "raining slapping on the window pane..." when it occured to me. I've been meaning to do a proper linguistic corpus. #ballyhoo

Ballyhoo. If I had to guess, and it would be an educated guess, I'd say Mr. #ElvisCostello uses the word "pane" and other homophones the most. And he does so superbly. #slowdragwithremedy #poetry #lyrics

Ballyhoo @jjh7.bsky.social Thank you so much for the kind remarks. It was really fun. Elvis Costello, ammirite?

Possibly my favorite episode (so far)
Love the back and forth between the final and the alternate version and I love the alternate version….how wrong can I be, it’s EC

Ballyhoo, my little ballyhoos. Episode 126 of Slow Drag with Remedy, "How Wrong Can I Be," is now available. Listen, love, recommend : #Music #Podcast #ElvisCostello #Linguistics #Language #Poetry #Songwriting #idioms #appreciation #genius #amwriting www.instagram.com/p/C6_kcTaigVc/

Have you noticed many Amazon reviews provide the caveat, "for the money"? I find this less than helpful, wouldn't you?

I'm looking for a Shure mic. Currently, I use an ATR, which they said is "good for the money," but I still don't know what it means.

Which Shure is best for podcasting?

#eurovision #slovenia slightly off putting

#eurovision #switerland great catchy tune

#eurovision Really liking #Cyrpus A lot of one woman singing while a line of dancers surround them

#eurovision I'm really enjoying #Estonia

Eurovision time

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I just finished the first series of #deadboydetectives and can't wait to watch it over again. What a great narrative, great interwoven stories, and real heart. Just loved it. Cheers.

#ballyhoo You know your podcast is #niche when even one of your closest friends comes up with an idiotic excuse not to listen.

I think I may have. Thanks for the reply, my fellow EC fan :)

@rexparker.bsky.social Hiya, I used your excellent blog to help complete today's NYTXW online, yet I'm still not getting a "complete." Is there something else I need to do. I changed the "dials," and still nada. Thanks much.

So, Craig, if you're out there, call me :) or look for me in the next elevator you take.

Had a super weird and vivid dream last night. Can't really explain it, but will say the upshot is I was in an elevator with a very very tall man named Craig. We'd never met, but decided to hug. Now we're seeing each other... in my dream, that is.

Noam Chomsky. Anyone seen him lately?

Out with the old. In with the new. Way too tall but that means I can look for lower side tables.

#News #amwriting Have been using the working title, "The Macron and the Breve," for my new book. It's a pretentious way of saying "the long and the short." I still like it, but have settled on the title, "Congratulations Are in Order." So, I'm working on chapter 6 of "Congratulations Are in Order"

God: I see OJ and looks scared

If ever there were time for a deathbed confession...

#Ballyhoo Episode 124 of Slow Drag with Remedy, "The Gaze That You Provoke," a slow drag with "The Difference," from "The Boy Named If," is available. Please listen and recommend. #Music #Podcast #ElvisCostello #Linguistics #Language #Poetry #Songwriting www.instagram.com/p/C5fCLJbiJeT/

I have #diabetes and wear a CGM. I ate the exact meal at the exact time yesterday and today. Makes me feel good knowing it’s so accurate.

Marshall is 7 now. Still loves his toys.

Ah, thanks. I searched for TOTP on their site. So, now I know I need to access each one. Cheers. #Ballyhoo

Which channel on BBC is it? 1? 4? So much to choose from.

tomorrow's Sunday #NYTXW this evening. THIS is living.

Yes, it looks like it is. I wonder why I can't find it when I go to the BBC site? User error, no doubt

@bryb.bsky.social Hiya. I see in my Elvis Costello feed that he was on TOTP. Where can I find the episode? I looked on BBC, but I'm not seeing it. Cheers.

I sure when/if he has a reason to, sure. But until then, not a chance :)
