Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Schadenfreude: Bristol Palin is pregnant again, and "disappointed" about it. Normally, this would not bother me, but the existence of the Palin family in the public eye, preaching about what is right and what is wrong sticks in my craw.

She cancelled her wedding a week before it was to happen, and she hasn't come out to say if her ex-fiance is the father. What goes around comes around. Don't put yourself out there as a paragon of virtue and the arbiter of family values when you're just as dirty as the rest of us.

Bristol Palin is pregnant again, and "disappointed" about it.

Wow. Have to say I'm not schadenfreude or even judgey so much as truly surprised that a Palin would actually admit in public to feelings as normal and human and conflicted as being disappointed to find herself pregnant again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"It's my right to be hellish, I still get jealous"

and every time I think of Hellish and have to say DAWN MUST DIE!

Aw! Good times.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bailed out of work only half an hour late (oh, look, another meeting, on "no meetings Friday" and when I'm supposed to be in testing as my calendar clearly states), remembered that I had to buy gas and turned on Waze to tell me where the nearest Shell station is and it immediately asked me if I was going to the farmers' market so I was all, well, okay, I guess I am now. Hey, for all I know someone will be selling shrimp. No one was, but I did get apricots, strawberries and cauliflower that I don't need and scallions that I do. Went and bought gas. Went to the grocery store and remembered a bunch of things that were not on my list but that I'm pretty sure I actually need (ice cream was on the list). Forgot to buy water to drink either in the store or on the way home which was kinda bad because it is very hot. But made it home where I have plenty of water and got stuff into the fridge and freezer and now feel like I am too hot and tired to cook or eat. Maybe I can manage ice cream, but that might be too much food for right now. OTOH, I also don't have lunch tomorrow if I don't cook tonight, so I don't know how to resolve that. Might be future -t's problem.

Got my shrimp assembled and into a ziplock bag. My phone will tell me when the water is the correct temperature to add the shrimp. This is awesome. Maybe by the time it's done I will feel like eating, who knows?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think Tino won today, but I had a really good chicken mole tamale for lunch, so that's something.

I think the fact that she has been the "abstinence only" ambassador for the Candie's foundation (no really) is, at the least, deeply ironic.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Certainly an excellent ambassador for how well "abstinence only" works. (eyeroll)

Candie's foundation? Huh. The world is very odd.

I think I like this wine better when it's very hot. When the weather is hot and the wine is cold. Or I am less critical. Or perhaps my senses are generally dulled. Hard to say.
