I turned Bowsette into a potato.  Her name is Spudette.

No one asked for this, but I did it anyway. I should also probably apologize for this, but I'm not going to.

Wait, it’s time for Potato Junior (or little Spudette) to emerge from Wanru’s womb?! Judging by the general timeline, this tater tot is totally overcooked; looking at Wanru’s belly, it is either underdone or not human (WTH, costuming department, WTH).

Devo "EZ Listening Muzak" 2xLP. Over the past few weeks I've been kind of reobsessed with the genius of Devo, the pride of Northeast Ohio's underground who burst for forth from the clayey soil of The Buckeye State and made their escape to a world wide stage spreading their dogma to spuds and spudettes across the land. I've always been a big fan of this collection ever since I first learned about it in the late 90's. #LP #Vinyl #Records #Devo #EZListeningMuzak #Devolution https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7vYnkJPrK/?igshid=njtslvhq5303

Dear Spud

It's been about a week living with someone else. Like, actually sharing an apartment. At first, seemed doable. But, now I'm not so sure. And you know my luck with roommates. Including you.

I'm overall just tired of getting roommates that aren't financially stable. I am annoyed and tired. There's so many things financially that's stressing me out along with working out loans, the Army, working at the nail salon, and people skills I just don't have.

Valentine's day is coming up and I have all my money bet on you taking someone out to fill the void. I'm not going to make an appearance, don't worry. Hopefully spending some me time and doing stuff for myself will make things better. Hopefully.

I lost track of how many days it's been since I last saw you. (I lied 39 days.)

I'm pretty impressed with myself to say the least. These days are filled with good and bad days. I'm not consistent enough to say I'll write to you tomorrow. But until next time.

Sincerely,

Spudette
