I knew this one would be a multi-dayer, but again, there's just a whole lot going on, which means there's a whole lot on my mind, and this is a good way for me to work through it. So. It's quarter to 7 in the evening. It is grey outside. It is cold outside, and it is going to get quite cold tonight. I stayed up too late last night watching Netflix ( Read more... )

*Started last Friday or so* I have been compiling news articles and such that have just been pissing me off, I mean, like, I'm scrolling through, and it's just like, WTF?!? Patently obvious things being memory-holed. Changing the way we refer to things. Being told that things are so just because, well, just because... Which is, by the way, not a ( Read more... )

*started last week sometime* Gas is up 12 more cents, overnight, in fact, according to the story yesterday morning on channels 2, 4, and 7. Now, I love how we're told that this is "because Ukraine"... I've said this before; I'm no tin-foil hat conspiracist... I'm really not. I'm a rule-follower, but I gotta tell you, in the words of the late, great ( Read more... )

I'll get into exactly WHY I don't really give a shit about the current war cooking along in Europe (and of course, that's a bit of hyperbole; I'm not a psychopath), but see, there's a lot of moving parts here... Lots of moving parts, and being perfectly honest, there's much more interesting things that affect me more directly than things going on ( Read more... )

That's Dianne Wiest, as the evil queen, in The 10th Kingdom... All her evil plans, she had it all laid out, all in place, and everything, at that point, was just going to hell ( Read more... )

That thing where you go to edit a typo, and you accidentally hit "delete"... Not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things, I'd just been woolgathering about the whole situation with my family, thinking back to good memories, resentful that they were so long ago, and yes, even bitching about COVID still being as much of a thing as it is, because I ( Read more... )

That was one of those statements that actually made me take pause, it was like, I did not just say that, I mean, in what kind of screwed up woke adult world does one have to make such an utterance... But it's true. Annoying as shit, but true... See, the SA went ahead and tried out the old woke bandwagon thing, in which they published a lovely ( Read more... )

So looking back, I last posted on Wednesday, early afternoon... Boy howdy did things go south quickly after that. For starters, it must have been shortly after that that that it occurred to me that I hadn't seen cat Fred Weasley in a little bit... Now, this is not uncommon, but Bailey (the other cat) had been acting really off-the-rails. Fred has ( Read more... )

Like, seriously, I'm perfectly aware of just how first-world this problem is. Totally so. But there's a point to be made here, so I'm just gonna power through it. So, I am home again, decided to take a second day, with the express purpose of attempting to get my head a little more right, more on that later. I wanted breakfast, and Panera sounded ( Read more... )
