Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Something like this feels pretty spring-y:

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm going to have a stroke from sheer raaaaaage. The phone company was working at an access point up the street this morning, and then our phone and internet went down. Tech support tries to sell me a monthly service plan (SPOILER: fuck you nope) and tells me someone will come out tomorrow.

What the fucking hell is wrong with them? You break something, you fucking fix it right away. What the shit.

I have been rage-tweeting at Cincinnati Bell, for all the good it will do me.

Yeah, I like that, Dana.

I don't like that at all, Tep. That's some bullshit right there.

Oh, I know that feeling too well. Like the times that Comcast tried to charge us a service call fee. Uh, no. As much as they have fucked up, I am never paying anything extra to them again.

I seriously can't articulate my level of raaaaaage. But I'm going to keep Tweeting at Cincinnati Bell until they reply.

Heh. I got back my performance appraisal and my boss scheduled a meeting for us to go over it. On Friday, when we are not supposed to have Friday meetings, but okay. What is cracking me up is I have ONE THING on my calendar that day and she scheduled our meeting EXACTLY AT THAT TIME. I can actually move it, it's no big deal, but it's just funny.

Rage-tweeting got me (allegedly) a service appointment today. We'll see if that's true.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think, based on not having seen it, I would go for Leslie Odom Jr. as lead. He's certainly a better singer than LMM, and he's got a couple of fabulous solo songs.

Having seen it, I agree. LMM is an artistic genius who should, on general principle, be given as many awards as humanity can come up with, but LOj is a better performer.

The difference between Burr's solo numbers on the soundtrack and live onstage is astonishing. (Vs Hamilton's, where if you've listened, you've basically experienced it.)

Good luck, Tep.

Just listening to the soundtrack, Leslie Odom Jr is amazing. LMM is brilliant, and there's a lot I like about his performance, but I really don't think there's even a comparison there in terms of skillz.
