I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know why I want to go little and yucky, but I vote cockroach and/or rat.

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

I can actually see rat now, with one on the shoulder, nasty little feet in the hair.

Penguins is working with uneven footing, not this crazy, but with some sort of geological formation that snakes across the picture just covered in them and receding into the distance.

Gah, now that there's a serious storm in the Gulf of Mexico, weather.com is going all StormPorn. You can practically see the giddy little weather junkies bouncing in excitement in their HQ.

Maybe Fox is desperate? Is one of their old faithfuls ending or in trouble?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I gave up. I had to Snopes the family friend who posted the "story" of a guy who tried to get insurance blah blah blah this.

Today's skull against the wall effort was spent convincing a person that just because he only knew one song in the oeuvre it didn't count against the oeuvre (neither did lack of American music awards) and in fact might count against him, and said ouevre might make the performer a legend in an arena with which he's not familiar.

He was still hostile when he came around to Aishwarya Rai might not care who George Washington is, so it took a couple more posts to calm him down and bring him back to "Exactly. And you don't know enough about Sinead O'Connor's music to universally judge her impact on anyone but yourself."

White Egypt chick and I--I think we'll go our separate ways. For all the weird things that platform lets you do (you can't block someone from your personal site, but you can hide a response to you from *everyone*), it doesn't help peacemaking much.

Okay, I am now starting to worry about the shutdown/furlough situation (mr. flea is furloughed). I never expected it would take this long, and the money we are losing that we are trying to save to buy a house, and he is bored and grumpy but not devoting himself to domestic achievements (although he did take a sleeping bag to the laundramat today) and AAAAAARGH.
