I saw a bit of it but was too busy to focus. Will have to catch repeats.

Am having the silliest, sweetest 'argument' on nextdoor messenger. So last winter, with the storms, I put together a thread for people who needed digging out but who wouldn't be able to pay. This one dude really stepped up. He's a little odd, but was a machine and has been picking up odd jobs around the hood ever since. Anyway, his mother is in hospice and the bills are overwhelming and he's been asking for work. While I have work (painting) I'm particular about doing it myself, but wanted to help him and so asked if he needed help with anything in particular.They were out of catfood. So I bought catfood. And now we're debating whether he can pay me back. I'm all, you did it this winter, damnit. And he's 'but I was just being neighborly!' And I'm like, AND SO AM I! Heh. I love my hood.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wouldn't mind getting more surprises. My mother hates that stuff.(Also, practical jokes...her ex-bf wanted to pull one on her and I was nice and said "Hell no, not ever)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just got home after an 85 hour work week. Exchanging pleasantries with Patti LuPone is part of my life now.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I hate practical jokes too, or at least most of them. Certain kinds of joke that are more theater than classic practical joke I don't mind. For example, I once saw a clip from Candid Camera where someone was told that a butcher shop had the freshest beef in town. So the customer enters the butcher shop and the butcher brings out a live cow with cuts of meat stenciled in appropriate places on its body. I think the customers was Tim Conway, who instantly guessed he was on Candid Camera. Now that I think about it that was more performance art than a classic practical joke . Most practical jokes have a victim...

So my beloved ex-supervisor saw Hamilton Saturday night. Family&friends tickets, orchestra seats. Turns out, they know the director. Got to go backstage and meet the cast, including LMM. Lucky, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I now feel like everyone in the world is at most two degrees from that show.

Took the stupid subway, made it to the train. Now for an adventure!

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

Fuck YES, S.Ct! They struck down the TX abortion law 5-3.
