OMG. My brother is such an idiot. #1, don't stir shit about immigration on the facebook page of someone who IS AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER. She knows more than you do, bozo. #2, arguing that immigrants are awful is really quite priceless coming from someone who has been WORKING IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC for the past 7 or 8 years! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, BROTHER? Magically your immigrant labor is so much better/more useful because...you are a college educated white man? Um. YOU DON"T SPEAK CZECH. And there are probably a LOT more Czechs willing to take your call center job than there are Americans willing to take day laborer/landscape/whatever jobs that those immigrants here you hate are taking.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Randomly, and for your entertainment, a picture of me in roller skates, from last week: [link] (My SiL may have gotten pictures of me flailing my way around the rink...but I kind of hope not.)
This is the skating rink that is, indeed, on the second floor, above the post office: [link] It may be a death trap, but it has fantastic original wooden floors.

While watching "Hansel and Gretel Witchhunters", at the shirtless pond scene, when Hansel scurries away as Mina takes off her dress to take a dip, I was reminded of that meme of the octopus scuttling off camera going "Nope nope nope."
Though Hansel was, of course, persuaded that skinny dipping was fun for all.

I love the nopetopus so much. AND Jeremy Renner. And his arms.

I was all "dude, you're spending too much time with your sister! Beautiful women are throwing themselves at you!" Though it was sweet the way he slept on the floor next to Gretel's bed--then rolled underneath it when he wanted to get more sleep.
It's possible I spent more time just watching him than worrying about the rest of the movie.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are in for the weekend. Have to find something to do with them that doesn't require a lot of walking, as my mom's sciatica has flared up.

I hate working late on a Friday.
That's all I have to say about that.

I have enjoyed Grade B maple syrup in my iced coffee as of late. It dissolves nicely and isn't too sweet.
