There was an accident on the BQE this morning, and I was woken up by a traffic helicopter that was hovering over my neighborhood at 6:30am. Motherfuckers.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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

I hate that. Helicopters need more power and make more noise when they hover at altitude....

It looks like I may get my crack at Prince after all [link] The artist formerly known as formerly known as Prince will be playing at the place formerly known as Reunion arena near where I work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I take chiros with a grain of salt, erin--they seem to think they can solve everything from sinus problems to diabetes. Which I think is a big load of bullshit.
Definitely this - there's a LOT in chiropractic that's dangerously pseudoscientific but if you can find one who limits their practice to solving actual back problems there are chiros who follow good evidence-based medical standards.
For neck pain, you should also be aware that there is a small but real risk of stroke from neck manipulation.

Australia, what is the deal? Sharks in the STREETS.
We have sharks on the street in NYC, too: [link]

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I have discovered that, although I hate most preparations of brussels sprouts, I love them when they're cut in quarters, tossed with olive oil and salt, and roasted until crispy. Yum.
We've been having some version of this probably at least once a week this winter. SO GOOD. I never knew I loved brussels sprouts!
and also I could eat spinach, feta, and olives every day of the week, although I don't.
I am as Jesse and JZ in this. Just about anything is improved with olives.
Man, I wish I'd slept better last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
However, in defence of my homeland, I will point out that this does not actually happen when we're not coping with massive natural disasters.
Do all the poisonous animals normally keep them at bay?

That is not cool, Australia. Not cool.
Australia just wants to remind the world that it is still the butchest place on the planet.
