William Mapother just doesn't have an engaging persona in this movie.

Does he ever?

I'll be honest, I fear bloodshed and civil unrest, but my husband discounts it.

Unfortunately, I have the same fear as Burrell and Cass. I fear it'll get much worse before it starts to get significantly better. I hope I am wrong and we can have a peaceful revolution.

Consuela, great news that you're getting some help with placing your parents.

my mother is so incredibly difficult (suspicious, paranoid, nasty)

FWIW, my mother's dementia presented with aggression and paranoia and even physical violence for a while. It passed. The doctor said it was common for dementia sufferers to go through such a "phase". I can't say what about your mom's situation, but it's possible this part at least will get better.

Like, someone with a Spanish name who could speak Spanish fluently would totally freak out a huge segment of the population.

I wouldn't have thought so before, but I was surprised at the complete dead silence that followed Rubio speaking one sentence of Spanish at the RNC.

I feel like it's terrible to suggest, but I feel like Valium could make everyone's life better in this situation.

Not terrible at all. Anti-anxiety drugs are good! (disclaimer: I take Valium. Might be biased.) I forget what med(s) my mom was on, but it helped her calm down. It probably caused some mental fuzziness, but she had dementia, FFS, her mental was not gonna not be fuzzy anyway.

First PT appointment is in ONE MONTH. That's too long, right? I feel like I'll have permanent loss of function if I wait that long.

I would def. push for a sooner appt. That's way too long.

Weirdest thing happened while I was out internetting, earlier. I was scrolling through some argument about a study on the affects of female heroines on television and such, and realized I was in the middle of ita and JZ taking down some schmuck.

Small internet.

Heh.

Multiple schmucks. They were aggressively stupid and begging for a takedown, and it was Buffy. Nobody bags on my girl.

Nobody bags on heroes on my watch, dammit!

And, seriously, when your point is "It's always women killing male bad guys!" you've really reached some fresh new epitome of privilege and bullshit. That's what entertainment has too much of? Women defending themselves from men?

Verily, these are the end times.

Juggling system down. If I had left the office when my manager told me to, maybe I could have ignored this until Tuesday. But this is the responsible thing to do--I was at my desk when the business user came around. and even though I'm being mean to the developer again, I'm doing it with my manager on careful cc, so there's a path of "see, I asked her if...and there's only so much I can do..."

I understand. I am still twitchy about "there are no female rock musicians" dude. I see him out on the 'net sometimes. And I think, "shit for brains."

Glory IS Ben. Ben IS Glory.

I have a suspicious looking mole on my knee.

Also I want to go to sleep, but can't until all this server shit gets done.

For some reason, Bubba decided to pull and empty triscuit box out of the recycling, and has spent the last 20 minutes seeing if he could use it as a hat.

He can't
