I think it might be a top shelf vodka night for me.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They just interviewed a parent outside the school who said her husband was a freshman at Columbine when that shooting happened. I just can't imagine.
Isn't this one at a high school? Columbine was just 14 years ago.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mostly quiet weekend here. I have one more present to buy. Unfortunately, I have to brave Toys 'R Us to get that done.

I'm going back to the whacked things pets do that are just wrong: my parents have a cat who had mommy issues with the female dog, Charlie. In that this grown-assed cat would knead the doggys tummy while nursing on her nipples, and Charlie would just roll over and accomadate it. Oh so wrong, and OUCH! I saw what my kitten did to the bottle's nipple when she got to old to feed that way.
ION, have to write out a self-review for Monday. One of the questions is "Can you communicate without attitude [paraphrased]?".
Um, no? /passive-aggressive font

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am having Utz cheese popcorn for dinner, and regretting not buying more bags when I saw it at Christmas Tree Shop.
So, here's the social engineering I have already done at work, three days in: In the bathroom, there is a handrail along the wall next to the tp dispenser. There are a bunch of mostly-used rolls of tp along the rail. I started using one, and then putting it on top of the dispenser, and people totally use that one! I swear I got rid of three partially-used rolls in two days.

Bleargh.
I went to TJ's and found myself buying the holiday pack of Jo-Jos, with the various coverings of chocolate, peppermint, peanut, etc.
And I'm sorry, but those things are nast. Waaaay too sweet and bleah. So now I have this big old box of cookies I don't want. I'm hoping I can drop them off at the ALF and the staff will eat them.

Oh! In good news, had some tasty tasty brussel sprouts for the first time ever. It was the Ed departments docent potluck, and one of the gals made them. She bought them at Trader Joe's and roasted them in her convection oven with olive oil and lemon. It's a veggie that I've always tried, and always ended up hating, but I keep persisting. Finally, success!
Speaking of TJ's, I had fantastic spinach and kale balls from them earlier in the week.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm sure you can give cookies away many places.
I'm on the phone with the cable company about a $50 service charge no one told me about. I despise the cable company possibly more than any other shitty service provider I have to deal with.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have been charged for that! Can I offer you a premium channel instead? It's a $60 value!"
I might consider that if I ACTUALLY PAID YOU PEOPLE FOR TV. I pay you for internet because I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

Yeah, I felt like the peppermint ones were good but the others were too much.
Ugh. Trying to get the graffiti off my garage is failing. The garage door is kinda textured, and I can get the sharpie off the bits that are kinda raised, but the grooves I can't get it out of, and trying to is stripping the paint off the non-grooved bits. Arrrgh. Went through two Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and some Goof Off wipes, and it's only vaguely faded.
