Fuck Twitter and Instagram. Welcome to Hemittergram!
This will be my place to put my bitter and funny things, my amazing thoughts, and my incredible word usements.
Instead of posting tweets here, I will drop droppings.

An original short story in French

(copyright 2026 - all rights reserved)
(totally written by me and not plagiarized)
Le puzzle
Une femme âgée, seule, fait un puzzle dans son salon. Dehors, c'est la nuit. Au fur et à mesure qu'elle assemble les pièces, une impression étrange la saisit : elle reconnaît peu à peu dans son puzzle le décor de son salon, puis sa télévision, puis soi-même vue de face !!!
De plus en plus bouleversée, elle continue. Les dernières pièces du puzzle qu'elle assemble sont celles de la fenêtre derrière elle.
Et la toute dernière pièce du coin de la fenêtre montre ...
...le visage terrifiant d'un homme qui la regarde.

This framed 'motivationol' poster on the wall at my (french) gym today:
motivationol
advocoting
vigolous
sossions
... and no spaces after the commas
With all the tech and AI available these days, is it really so fucking hard to get these words right?!

The Times They Are A-Changin’
Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen, please, heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please, get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

It's a new year and what a biggie it's gonna be. I know I'm being mysterious - all I can say is that I have a funny feeling that 2026 will be my best year of the last twenty.

This one was unusually on-point:
- "Can i trade you ketchup for all-dressed?" and then singing the Sleep Country Canada song.
- I'll come join you on the chesterfield. (plus she was holding a Pathways social studies book)
- How much do you weigh ... in kilograms.
At 2:29, on the corkboard of Canadian heartthrobs, notice the plate of poutine!

There's something about this image (attributed to the link below) that I find so beautiful. It shows not just wisdom and experience and a long life well-lived, but also showcases the tenaciousness and adaptability of the human body.
So many images of the aged evoke in me a certain sadness and depression (and a feeling of impending doom); I'm surprised that I see this so positively.

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, and the Cabbie says, 'Perfect timing. You're just like Frank.'
Passenger: 'Who?’
Cabbie: 'Frank Jones... He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank every single time.'
Passenger : 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.'
Cabbie: 'Not Frank. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star, and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.'
Passenger: 'Sounds like he was something really special.'
Cabbie: 'There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank, could do everything right.'
Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then.'
Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank.'
Passenger: 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?'
Cabbie: ‘I never met him. He's my girlfriend's ex.’
(AH: I can SO relate to this!)

Two little known facts:
1. When two or more married men meet and they are well out of earshot of any women, the conversation quickly devolves into the competitive trading of the horror stories that make up their respective marriages.
2. I always win these competitions.

Things I'm good at. Part One.
Gripping Dialog
Where's my coffee? said my wife.
It's right here, I said.
Thanks, she said.
For the coffee? I said.
Yes, for the coffee you just brought me, she said.
Oh, you're welcome, I said.
It's good coffee, like you usually make me every morning, she said.
Yes thanks, I said.
If you liked that, there's 250 more pages of it in: Ten Days in San José
