I didn't know what they called ghot in Bhutan was very likely durian.
Very appropriate if your day stinks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm developing an unhealthy obsession with this whole PUA movement thingy that I learned about after the gym shootings by the "nice guy" who was sure he was entitled to fresh young women by the boatload.
I can't stop reading about it. Which is just making me more and more angry. Ugh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is "Yo soy mucho" even proper grammar?
In my head, it sounds a lot like "he's so very" from Heathers. Possibly not what they were going for.
Heh. I'm choosing to interpret it as "I am legion."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The healthcare stuff is making me angry, with people hijacking town meetings and spreading such rampant disinformation.
And so many people who oppose healthcare reform strike me as selfish and racist and classist. I know, as with everything, there are plenty of people with rational objections, but it's hard to be charitable when you're angry.

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

I just got back from a field trip with my co-workers to Chuck Schumer's office (turns out it's across the street) where we handed in some flyers and let his PR flunky know we all support public universal healthcare. I feel so involved.

That phone call I made to Durbin's office yesterday was the first time I've ever called my representative/senator's office.

Punishingly Intricate
The healthcare stuff is making me angry, with people hijacking town meetings and spreading such rampant disinformation.
Oh, yeah, I had to turn off the radio this morning. It makes me completely ragey.
Not making me ragey is working from home today. Our internet connection at work has been up and down like crazy this week and is no better today evidently. Plus I had to bring my car in for a blown radiator hose yesterday and it's going to be way more money than I thought. If one week could go by with no unexpected car or pet expenses I would be very happy. It's so frustrating.
Also, my hairdresser moved to Annapolis and I haven't figured out a good way to get my bangs trimmed regularly. Being home today means I can get to a local salon before they close at 6. (I don't get why so many close at 6 on weekdays!)
