I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is this a Stargate thing?

Kree!

I had Thai food for lunch and now I am in a spicy-starchy stupor.

Kree!

I say that every time I go past it. Usually under my breath.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just woke up. I should go work on editing an article I'm writing. But that would involve getting off the couch. So maybe not.

Aw, Ellen and Portia are getting married! [link]

Shrift, have you been to Jaffa Bagel?

No! I usually don't make it that far east as I am a lazy bastard when it comes to lunch. I'll have to try it next week, thanks!

Oh that is awesome news.

Huh. I didn't realize Portia was Australian.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is pretty interesting, if you're interested in the nuts and bolts of presidential campaigning: What Went Wrong?

The exclusive story of Hillary's fall, as told by the high-level advisors, staffers, fundraisers, and on-the-ground organizers who lived it.

Damn, they made a lot of mistakes....

eta:

"There was not any plan in place from beginning to end on how to win the nomination. It was, 'Win Iowa.' There was not the experience level, and, frankly, the management ability, to create a whole plan to get to the magical delegate number. That to me is the number one thing. It's starting from that point that every subsequent decision resulted. The decision to spend x amount in Iowa versus be prepared for February 5 and beyond. Or how much money to spend in South Carolina--where it was highly unlikely we were going to win--versus the decision not to fund certain other states. ... It was not as simple as, 'Oh, that's a caucus state, we're not going to play there.' That suggests a more serious thought process. It suggests a meeting where we went through all that."

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH had McDonalds' new chicken biscuit for breakfast and declared it a win. We had PB&J for lunch which was okish. I really want some chilli cheese fries with some DQ soft serve.

I had to chase away the Jehovah's Witnesses from my door a little while ago. You'd think the site of my cross dressing preschooler, along with the naked toddler with their tiny, dirty hands pressed up against the storm door would have convinced any god-fearin' folk to flee. But no, I had to go out on the porch and engage them. Seems they're using the cyclone in Burma and the earthquakes in China as a pitch now.

There's one on Michigan Ave at Lake too, in the underground. Let me know if you want to meet up some time.
