It's foaming outside.
um??? Huh.

So there is a water runoff drain for campus that exits outside my window. When it rains, it becomes a waterfall. I call it the office water feature. Anyway, some whole helluva lot of something soapy was in the runoff and it was all foamy. And with the winds blowing up the side of the falls, great clouds of foam were blowing around. It was surreal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get mine from the supermarket, Jesse. Ziplock brand.

Yeah, that's what I use, but I want to get my mother a set for a present, so nicer than that, and I think the ones where the lids stick to the bases is going to be the way to go. AND both Target and BBB have them, and both of them are in the same complex! So it all works out.

Costco often has nice sets of tupperwareish containers.

It's not even evil.

It's not like you work for Ticketmaster, after all. It was a brilliant business model until it wasn't.

Then they were slow to integrate their services and market effectively

Also, I get to go to an intimate bday gathering for a dude who up until recently treated me with utter disdain. Yay...

I am finding the Irish punk on the jukebox oddly comforting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Suddenly there were kids that were cooler than Blockbuster. At the same time as Netflix (and Redbox?) was driving them out of business, they'd just closed up most of the mom and pop shops. So you hate them because they're big box shopping, and then when time passes and you forget that, you hate them because they can't resist the onslaught of the next wave.

Did anyone bother to hate Hollywood Video? Poor sods.

Sadly, I don't have a Costco membership anymore. Possibly not that sadly, since I am just now eating the last of the mac and cheese I bought there literally years ago.

At least when people bag on my industry it's not te part I work for...and I usually agree with them. Though it does drive me batty when people get it wrong.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Being locked up in studio contrcts didn't help. Also not recognizing the had radically different customer bases. It's angry making to those of us on the online side. Management set us up for infighting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, Irish punk!

I think that's all I have to contribute right now. But I mean it!
