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

Why is this week still this week?!

This presidential campaign is making the founding fathers spin in their graves so fast that relativistic effects are causing time to slow down.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought about Election Night and immediately felt ill.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I don't understand how this is still only Wednesday.

OMG, yes. I've been thinking it was Friday since Monday. That does not bode well for the rest of the week.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know what day it is, but I spent the whole night last night dreaming work, so I am pouty today that it didn't count. Plus this whole weekend is stage managing for a retreat one of our partnering schools is putting on, so I'm not actually looking forward to the weekend. And then a buddy of our is coming to record for a week, which will be fun, but I get fatigued and I have had a lot of people in the house and/or that I am responsible for lately.

Well, that will end badly for somebody.

The status is NOT quo.

Frank, just read your Beep Me. I'm very sorry.

Digital Spy says that the CW is developing a teen drama around Mary, Queen of Scots.

WTF. Mary Stuart was, to be honest, a self-absorbed woman obsessed with her political position and possessed of criminally poor judgment. She made a series of personal and political blunders that led her to the axe. If she'd had an ounce of sense she could have had a long and successful rule instead of ending up how she did.

OTOH, I can totally see how the adultery, explosions, murders, and possible rape add up to "teen drama" in the eyes of the CW.

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

a self-absorbed woman obsessed with her political position and possessed of criminally poor judgment

Do you watch any series on the CW? This looks perfect! Especially with Gossip Girls ending (it is ending, right? Those kids are 40)

I don't want to put more on your plate when you're at your limit. Can you just give a thumbs up on anything that doesn't use any personal identifiers?

Uh...yeah! I mean, please help me. I'm useless, and clearly not making progress on my own. Since I know it isn't impossible, and I refuse to believe I'm an outlier, the issue is with my problem solving approach, I think. New approaches==good!
