I just want to not be a slackards by default! I want to inform myself enough that I'm at least making a better decision than coin flip, but not striving for perfect. I love data, but I actually hate dealing with finances. Because I feel like an idiot (because I am, beyond 'save a lot.')
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Meanwhile, here I am planning more phone calls when I still have holes in my ceiling because...I haven't had time to make phone calls...

Hil, do you want to see it opening night and/or a different date? I'm probably going to get tickets soon-ish, so let me know. (By "opening night," I mean Friday, probably a 9-ish show, given how long it takes Tim to leave work.)
Sure! Email me to work out details.
Will do! Probably tomorrow, because an article that I thought would be easy has turned into a nightmare and I'm still working.

Anyone got advice Tiaacref vs Fidelity?
I do not, but there's an Ask MetaFilter thread on it: [link]

why do I live in such a crap town for food delivery! I don't want pizza! I want Chinese! Why does the website that says it's for food delivery point me to places that say No Delivery! This is a freaking college town! One of the largest private universities in the country is barely two miles away from me! Do none of them order anything but pizza? Yes, I could go pick it up, but the point was that I could come home and not have to leave the house again. Bah.

This year, it's for a movie I already have tickets to see. The next day. And yet, maybe I'll go?
I'm just saying, if I can convince someone to go with me to see it before we use those tickets, I'm definitely going for it. Pretty sure I'll need to see it many times.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oooooh. Nice, msbelle.
All right, I will RSVP for the movie tomorrow. How I was leaning anyway, but y'all have kicked my waffling to the curb. Kind of impressive, I'm a champion waffler.
Can I just say I hate the NBA an awful lot right now? There is no way for me to watch or listen to the Warriors game while my DVR/receiver isn't working. Unless I go drive around to find okay radio reception. Which I am not going to do,considering I didn't accidentally hit decent reception while driving home from Tai Chi. Gah! I have multiple streaming options but they are all blacked out because....I don't know why, it makes no sense to me.
Tai Chi update: we finished the first section, hooray! And started the second. After the punch from last week it's a fade and a push and then that finishing bit that is called something but I forget the word. Then a brush knee into the back corner with palm turned up to hoist a kicking attacker up, rollback, split, baqwan fish. I'm curious what you call that one, Burrell, it's the bit where your one hand makes like a hook and you step out about 135 degrees and push with the other hand.
Food trucks were, kind of disappointing? I picked up a brisket po-boy to have tomorrow (haven't decided lunch or dinner) and while it looks good it doesn't seem particularly po-boy like. Similarly, the bao I got for dinner was tasty but more of a pulled pork sandwich. Shrug.
