Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

After his racist comments, Trump's Republican primary poll numbers have gone way up.

How do racist fuckwits have the time to take polls when they're so busy buying up all the Confederate flags and burning churches?

I have today and tomorrow as corporate holidays. So far today I've slept in, made breakfast burritos for lunch, done a load of laundry, did some data spring cleaning and backing up, and now I'm attempting to wash a rug for the first time in about a decade.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bathroom, check! Vacuum check! Neatening, half check! Maybe now a shower and see about laundry.

After his racist comments, Trump's Republican primary poll numbers have gone way up.

It's extremely depressing. But it's also understandable in that he went from part of the bland critical mass of similar sounding politicians, to standing out, even if it was for jackassery. Remember, Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain, Rick Perry also had meteoric rises (and sharp falls) when they stood out as different. I just read somewhere that it's part of a cycle. Discovery being the first step.

But, people are fucking stupid too.

They're the only ones who still have landlines.

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

It's okay if I stabbinate our HR department, right?

Only if you are okay with attending mandatory stabbination workshops and webinars every quarter.
