Thousand Cuts, Downright Vexed
I woke up only mildly tetchy, since the week’s round of needing-to-be-social meetings has meant little time for actual writing. I get itchy-irritable when life attempts to keep me from the page; a few days of mounting discomfort and I’m ready to stab if it means I’ll be left alone with the words. Still, it wasn’t bad when I rolled out of bed, even if the dog decided today was a day to be…

Beans.
My partner and I have a running joke with a friend. Every time he goes on holiday we increase the quantity of beans in his flat.
The first time we bought ~30 cans of kidney beans and hid them around the house like some Easter egg hunt thing but with beans.
The Second time we bought ~6kg dried white beans and hid those in various places. Nearly every receptacle that could safely hold beans became the home of beans. My personal favourite was emptying an oat milk carton, very carefully washing and drying it, filling it with beans and then just putting it back among several other cartons.
He went on holiday again a couple of weeks ago. Obviously there is an expectation of bean-based shenanigans. And obviously we have to beat our previous efforts.
Our friend has (had) a mosaic on his wall of the famous Marilyn Monroe Pop-Art by Andy Warhol. He made the mosaic himself. Over the last couple of weeks we have spent hours and hours assembling a frame, drawing up a pattern and gridding out a 70 x 70 frame and gluing an untold amount of beans to it. I have spent over 21 hours gluing beans to a frames.
For the last couple of days I ended up going to bed at 5:00 am because I lost track of time whilst experimenting with which types of glue works best with different beans (I now have *opinions* on this, y’all). The day of our friend’s return we spent the morning and afternoon grouting the piece and wiping it down and wiping it down again and wiping it down again because grout is just like that. In the evening we went to install the mosaic, just a few hours before his return. Here’s a comparison between the original and our clearly superior replication, and the new piece installed in its rightful place.

[Mise en scene: Dick Dastardly's house--or more like hovel--early one morning in the wake of another of Muttley's misadventures in "sowing the wild oats" in the canine fashion; Muttley, inevitably, is smiling rather broadly.]
DICK DASTARDLY, rather irate at what ensueth: MUTTLEY!!! Wipe that smile off your face for once!!
MUTTLEY: [Rather blatant and comically sick snickering]
DICK DASTARDLY, continuing with the tirade: I'm getting to be rather annoyed at you going out nights and sowing your canine wild oats with all the lowest kind of back-alley mutts!! As a matter of fact, Muttley, word has it that at least six--SIX!!--of those back-alley dogs you play around with gave birth to pups over recent days, and it's likely YOU, Muttley, were the sire of them! [pause] Muttley ... what have you to say for yourself?!
[Whereupon Muttley humps Dick Dastardly's leg in the fashion of that "Safe Sex?" T-shirt from some years back, much to his master's displeasure and objections as tend to the expletives and threats to break out the riding crop for disciplinary ends--]
Let us draw the curtain of charity over the remainder of this scene.

Eddie during a Q&A where he specially asked his fans to ask him questions about his marriage: Oh, just saw the question who proposed to who and-
Steve, loudly off-camera: I proposed to him and he said no!
Eddie: …first of all, you couldn’t even get gay married at the time. And second, I said no because I-
Steve: He said no because he wanted to propose to me and then DIDN’T
Eddie: I did!
Steve: A year later.
Eddie: I had to plan! I had to prep! I wasn’t going to halfass our gay fake wedding!
Eddie: And, just for your information, internet! He’s complaining and he’s making me look bad but do you know what he did? Do you know what he did the next day? I put together this beautiful ceremony with all our friends and family and you know what he did the very next day?
Eddie: He went to the courthouse and married a woman!
Steve: …Well that was for tax benefits
