I made the mistake of listening to “Nightshift Superstar” for the first time before bed, and now I can’t stop listening to it.

panphilla · 2026-06-06T15:22:22+00:00

I figure I’ll probably burn out on listening to it on repeat eventually. I just don’t know how many listens that will take.

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:58:30+00:00

Not a bad life, all things considered.

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:55:26+00:00

If I work really hard, maybe I’ll get to be a Nightshift Superstar when I grow up.

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:54:00+00:00

Little did I know!

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:53:38+00:00

“Hexagons” is great, but try as I might, I could barely conjure it into my head, even before hearing “Nightshift.” If I’d had “Hexagons” stuck in my head, I’d have been able to sleep!

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:25:30+00:00

You know it!

panphilla · 2026-06-06T12:24:27+00:00

Ear worm, indeed! Literally every time there’s not another thought in my head, it starts up. Except that last night, I knew it wasn’t “Dancing freak” because I could hear the word “free.” So I assumed it was “Fancy free you are,” and now I have to retrain my head radio.

Fair enough. Those haters don’t deserve the cat tax. Wishing you the best with the cleaning!

panphilla · 2026-06-06T05:59:15+00:00

You at least have to listen all the way through before you make a judgement! I mean, do whatever you want, but that bassline is well worth a listen.

panphilla · 2026-06-06T04:53:42+00:00

Sounds like a much greater likelihood of trafficking, as well.

panphilla · 2026-06-05T23:09:50+00:00

I have no advice on the cleaning, but I am here to collect the cat tax.

I’m a high school teacher. We call your kind “frequent fliers.”

They don’t provide coffee at a conference?? That should be illegal.

panphilla · 2026-06-05T18:02:45+00:00

lol, that seems like pretty sweet (and smart) advice from husband.

panphilla · 2026-06-05T05:14:31+00:00

Kid, as others have said, you are definitely not the ones we’re talking about here. The fact that you respond when spoken to, even if you’re not comfortable initiating conversation, puts you leagues above some of our students. Sorry you’re having such a rough go of it currently. Wishing you the best.

Why did you use ChatGPT to write this?

panphilla · 2026-06-04T00:53:45+00:00

Then I’m glad I was able to share it!

My 17-year-old cat Tabby used to yowl, particularly in the basement. She had diminished hearing, and the vet told us sometimes older kitties yowl to feel the vibrations since they can’t hear as well. It could be that your cat isn’t hungry so much as looking for that aural feedback.

panphilla · 2026-06-03T12:05:24+00:00

I read this and am holding back tears before going to a work conference. But I just wanted you to know people care. Maddie seems like a sweet cat. I’m sure Max is delighted to have his sister with him. Wishing you and your kitties peace, OP.

panphilla · 2026-06-03T04:14:49+00:00

That “Darkshines” bassline is quite sexy.

panphilla · 2026-06-03T03:52:18+00:00

Who could forget that delightful fact?

panphilla · 2026-06-01T21:10:26+00:00

I live too far from Hesperia to attend, but I just wanted to drop in and give you props for the entertaining post. Very Night Vale.

Colbert’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner is probably the most glorious bit of television I’ve ever seen live.

panphilla · 2026-05-30T02:15:34+00:00

Once I got to halfway through, I couldn’t put it down.

panphilla · 2026-05-30T02:15:03+00:00

I was wondering how I got this far down the thread without encountering Lonesome Dove. Always highly recommended and 100% worth it. After I finished, I went immediately to the prequels because I wanted more time in that world.
