Week 42, 2018

I wonder if my post nasal drip has turned into just downright URTI again...?

• Saw a play this week - The Tragicomedy of Errors. 
• Saw A Simple Favor on Monday night. 
• It's only still October and already the holiday gift sets are available for sale. Holiday creep starts earlier and earlier. 
• My long thought to be MIA Biblio order finally arrived... many, MANY weeks later. About 2 months later. Guess I'll have to let them know that I got it so that they could charge me again. Le sigh. 
• The man who's been Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch is finally retiring after 50 years. 
• They finally announced this year's Big Bad Wolf Books sale, which is about the same time every year.
• Winamp (who else remembers?) is making a comeback. Really?! I suppose if it's less bloated  than iTunes and still works with iPods...  
• Was anyone really surprised that the Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande thing DID NOT work out...? 
• Jim Jefferies stopping in Singapore in January. Another comic named Jim in Q1 2019. 
• Speaking of shows in Singapore, I still haven't bought a ticket to the Franz Ferdinand show next month. And I've already got flight and hotel bookings done early. 
• Apparently Fendi thought it would be a great conversation starter/funny to sell a scarf that sorta, KINDA looks like a vulva. (just Google it)
• Also, someone had too much free time and published a piece on Medium on how to optimally drink bubble tea so that there aren't any leftover pearls. (It's behind a paywall) I hope to TPTB that grant money wasn't involved in this.
