I'm watching Miss America, and they are trying to give cool intros for each state, and I cannot believe Miss New Hampshire threw out "Manch-vegas," i.e. Manchester, NH. I really thought only my friends called it that!
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Speaking of beauty pageants, my elevator told me that Miss World was fighting for life from a horrible UTI gone awry and had already had her hands and feat amputated. It was very gruesome for elevator news!

Actually, David... She died today from her infection. The elevator is a little behind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She wasn't Miss World. She was a Brazilian pageant finalist.
No less awful.

Uhg.
In less earthshaking news, I watched a MOVIE. Slumdog Millionaire . It was fun.

Although, fun shouldn't be the word I use. But engaging.

No, I'm just behind in reporting the elevator's reportage. It is only 20 minutes behind (it assures me).
Poor Miss Brazil.
