#chrisism

Have you seen this emoji: 🤘🏼? It’s the Rock ‘n Roll hand sign, and it’s been one of my faves since I discovered it. Very heavy rotation in my various messaging and social media apps. Definitely Top 5 at any given moment in the recently used list, keeping company with 🤓, 🥸, 😂 & 🤡. But for the life of me, I cannot recall anyone using it on me in messages. Until today. Three times! That’s three…

Figured I’d better document this in case for when it eventually/inevitably takes off. And if you’ve followed for a bit, you know I can’t resist a good portmanteau. So much so, friends just call them Chrisisms. There have been a few – and close friends have heard me bitch and moan when one of my orphaned witticisms finds life in the pop culture lexicon. Don’t get me started on shituation. So…

What was that…motivation? It’s kind of startling, when it comes out of nowhere. But I just plugged my personal laptop in. It’s been unplugged for a month or two. Unused far longer. Unplugged since I decided to make my dining area a reading nook since I never eat at my table and when I entertain…it’s both rare and rarely outside the bedroom. Unused since…well, a long time. I thought the…

I was skulking my way around my local watering hole last night looking for a corner seat because I like them. My favorite corner is blocked by a wall to the dining room, so I have to walk by my second favorite corner to see if it’s available. Still, I always clock whether number 2 is occupied or not on the way by. It wasn’t, which is fine. I was alone, having popped in for a drink or two on my…

As is my Saturday morning norm, I woke up and spent the morning reading leisurely in bed while caffeinating. Leisurely might be overselling it, since I do fall quite behind during the week, but I always welcome the opportunity to start my catch up with proChristinating on the actual backlog and starting off with one of Geoff’s latest entries since they are easy on the still sleep-addled brain and…

Welcome back to me…to my own blog…once again! I feel like I need my own Yoda. Someone who will hear me say weak assed things like “I’m going to try and write more consistently” and remind me Luckily, I verbally hedge my bets with that approach, so…no broken promises! As alluded to in the title, I’ve been busy. Work keeps me pretty occupied. My workdays are a frenzied pace from start to finish,…

I know I should just call this Shrinkflation: Part 2 – because you just know this ain’t the end of nothing – but I have too many numbered series on this blog, so I didn’t wanna. However, who knows when I’ll get around to being pissed enough about this phenomenon – or some random and mildly annoying aspect of it that probably only I notice – to add a third installment to the Shrinkflation…

I started off my Saturday rip roaring and ready to go. Mainly thanks to a full 8 hours of sleep, brought to you by the perfectly managed cross-fade. IYKYK. So, naturally, I stayed in bed reading for three hours. But then I was totally going to get up, exercise and then do more pre-potential-packing purging. An hour later, I ordered lunch and settled in to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.…
