'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The doctor has decided not to explore my trigger points, bless him. Which is good, because I'm already in the middle of a flareup.
They're running hideously late--it's one of those where they send in a fellow first and I haven't seen the main guy yet, even though my appointment was at ten. And there will probably be a prescription. I may be on team WFH for the rest of the day.
I would watch this all day, if time permitted. [link]
What I've heard about the westboro church is that it is fundamentally a for-profit enterprize . The family (it is all one family) is as offensive and provocative as possible while barely staying within the limits of where the law protects their first amendment rights. And since they are committing those provocations at very emotional moments in peoples lives, a lot of individuals and even institutions do stuff they can be sued for. And they make quite a nice living off those suits. So, essentially meatspace trolls.
I am totally adding time person of the year to my resume.
My therapist's comment to me today "wow that is just really tough" after hearing about the last two weeks. Hahaha fun to stump the therapist.
For the first time possibly ever, I shut my door so I could read and relax during my half-hour lunch, rather than working.
Number of knocks on my door in the last ten minutes: Two.
I feel for you Dana. I can go a whole morning without co-workers needing to speak to me, and then the instant I raise a spoon or sandwich to my mouth they're clamoring at my door with something that just can't wait 10 minutes.
I had plans for today. I was going to work, go to the gym, and hit the grocery store for yogurt, but my sinuses are in REVOLT and I didn't even snort any hot bean juice into them this morning.
Little Billy's Letters to famous and infamous people
In the 1990s Bill Geerhart was an unemployed, not-so aspiring screenwriter in his 30s. To pass the time, he channeled his inner child, 10-year-old Billy, and started writing letters to famous and infamous people and institutions. These letters, written in pencil on elementary school ruled paper, asked funny but relevant questions to politicians, serial killers, movie stars, lobbyists, CEOs, and celebrity lawyers.
Geerhart saved copies of his letters and the replies he got back. This week, Harper Collins published them in a book called Little Billy's Letters: An Incorrigible Inner Child's Correspondence with the Famous, Infamous, and Just Plain Bewildered. The publisher gave us permission to run some of our favorites. Enjoy!
