  14. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: How come grown-ups don’t go out to play?
       CALVIN’S DAD: Grown-ups can only justify playing outside by calling it exercise, doing it when they’d rather not, and keeping records to quantify their performance.
       CALVIN: That sounds like a job.
       CALVIN’S DAD: … Except you don’t get paid.
       CALVIN: So play is worse than work?
       CALVIN’S DAD: Being a grown-up is tough.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

  19. How can I get out of all these boring household tasks?

    Dear Jane, my parents keep giving me loads of chores to do and saying something about “responsibility” and “being a grown-up”. I mean, what are they on about? I only just turned 30. How can I get out of all these boring household tasks?

    Unhappy from Hampton

    Oh my poor beleaguered buttered scone of injustice!

    How dare your parents suggest you take on responsibilities simply because you’ve reached the tender and innocent age of thirty?! Why, you’re practically still in the larval stage of adulthood, just barely crawling out of your sock drawer of self-discovery!

    Let me tell you, chores are a vicious rumour spread by people who don’t own enough decorative hats. I once avoided all housework for seventeen consecutive years by pretending I was allergic to dust, soap, and effort. It worked marvellously, until I was eventually mistaken for a long-lost Victorian ghost and exorcised from my own kitchen.

    Now, here’s my expert advice for dodging every chore ever:

    1. Invent a fake PhD in “Domestic Aversion Syndrome.” Tell them you’re part of a long-term study that forbids vacuuming due to potential sock displacement trauma.
    2. Hide in the laundry basket. They’ll never think to look for you there—especially if you blend in by wearing nothing but unpaired socks and a tea towel turban.
    3. Fake extreme hat-related injuries. “Oh no! My feathered fez slipped and I twisted my dishwashing instincts!”
    4. Train a squirrel to do your chores. Failing that, just blame everything on the squirrel. “Why didn’t you do the dishes?” “Because Reginald chewed through the sponge, obviously.”
    5. Write them a strongly worded note in icing. I’ve found that cakes with messages like “Responsibility Is a Conspiracy” or “Let Me Nap, I’m Thirty” are both delicious and persuasive.

    And finally, for full escape velocity, I recommend my bestselling guidebook “Grown-Ups Are a Myth: Escaping Adulthood With Grace and Cupcakes.” It pairs beautifully with “Avoidance Through Sock Puppetry” and the ever-popular “Ten Reasons I Can’t Hoover (Allergies, Ghosts, and General Vibes).”

    So pop on your most distracting hat, declare yourself emotionally fragile, and lock yourself in the loo with a nice hot pot of prune juice until the laundry folds itself or they give up entirely.

    Irresponsibly yours,

  24. As the #NewMusicTeacher was a #GrownUp; he #Decided that #TheBestThing for us #ToDo was to #Learn #HowToSing; because, #IT would #GiveUs all a #Shared and #CollectiveExperience of #Music, which was a #SoundRationale...

    What #HeFailed to #Appreciate was that I and my 8-#Compatriots were #AlreadyQuiteSkilled in #SeveralInstruments, which we #AlreadyOwned. #InMyCase (as a #Bassist) a #Cello, a #Trombone, and a #Bassoon. My #RomanCatholicMother had also #Made #SeparateArrangements for me to #Attend #AdditionalCoaching on the #Piano, which was #Lovely...

    My #Compatriots were also #FairlyWellAccomplished on a #Range of #Instruments from which we were able to #Form a #RelativelySmall; but, #ComprehensiveOrchestra... #MainlyBecause were were already #VeryAppreciative of #Music... #InGeneral and #QuiteSpecifically...

  25. #BackInTheDay when #OLevels were a #Thing; #BeforeGCSEs had been #Invented...

    I was #StudyingMusic with 8-#Compatriots all of whom were about the #SameAge at a #School; the #SameSchool that #RobertSmith from #TheCure was #Expelled from... #IT was a #FaithBasedSchool that was both #Local and #Chosen by my #RomanCatholicMother; because, she was a #GrownUp...

    I had had #ManyMusicTeachers before; because I was #QuiteFond of #Music and #BroadlyCompetent with #SeveralInstruments...

    #TheSchool had a #Change of #MusicTeacher during #MyTime with them; #So, the #MusicTeacher that I made #Cry was #New and his #Appointment came just as I and my 8-#Compatriots were #Preparing to take an #Examination...

    #IF you're #NotSure what an #Examination is; then, #LookITUp... #IT's like a #Test...

  26. #Movies #Films

    After watching the #AARP's 2025 #MoviesForGrownUps Award show, I was also pleased to learned that I had watched almost every movie nominated for an a #GrownUp award (directly or indirectly), excluding TV shows which I do not watch as broadly :

    These movies included:

    Babygirl
    The Brutalist
    A Complete Unknown
    Conclave
    Gladiator 2
    The Last Showgirl
    Nickel Boys
    The Order
    Queer
    September 5
    The Substance
    Super/man: The Christopher Reeve Story
    Wicked

    The only exceptions were:

    Emilia Perez (which I'm going to watch tomorrow)
    Hard Truths (which I plan to stream)
    Sing Sing (which I'm streaming now)
    Thelma (that I just streamed)

    I've watched many other movies than these in the past year but I view the fact that I've watch so many of them mentioned on AARP's MFGU award show as a measure the quality of the movies that I choose to watch. 😎

  32. #GrownUp hack: every time you buy a new hardware thing, search for a pdf version of the manual. Store it on your disk with a filename that you can easily search for.

    Next time you have a problem with that thing, you won’t need to search for that small paper printout in font size 4 😅.
