Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, 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.

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

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

Ugh. Grace has two more blood draws to go because they blew a vein halfway through the test.

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

They're the only ones who still have landlines.

More Chicago must-drink beers to look out for this weekend:

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.

mandatory stabbination workshops

It's so hard to keep track of the "red light-green light" variations on approved stabbination behavior. Something about whether stabbinating will get blood in the only good copier, I think.

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

I can't but help but wonder how many people would support him in a poll just as a joke.

After working in a temporary, unofficial location since last fall I'll soon be moving to an official office at least when not working from home. This is my new office, all mine for the time being but there will probably be a divider and I'll get half of it at some point.

It's a second floor space in downtown Lawrence, KS overlooking Mass. street. (This won't mean much to all but a very few).

This is the view from the office balcony where I might work some days if the weather is nice.

Since I was uploading shots from my phone and its crappy camera anyhow, I thought I'd share this too.

It's hard to believe she was just a little baby and he wasn't even born yet when I joined up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Look at those great big humans you made! Is that the legendary couchflip couch?
