I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I'm mostly amused by her Rickroll! Forget plagiarism, that's the best part!!

Suzi, that sucks. I'm also exhausted today but have only myself to blame--somehow it was suddenly 11:30 last night when I meant to go to sleep several hours before. Oops. My alarm got snoozed several times this morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's hard to make myself go to bed at a reasonable hour. Left to myself I'll stay up until 2am. Wait, I am left to myself. I begin to see the problem.

I am raising an eyebrow at reporters focusing on Melania's speech considering all the really disturbing stuff going on at the RNC.

Yeah. That's a total non-issue. Nobody will remember it in a month.

This is going to be a tight election. Demographically, there should be no way Trump wins, but somehow I think it'll be a toss-up.

In Utah, the news concentrated more on how the Roll Call Vote was a mess. I guess a Utah delegate is in a high position related to that? (I wasn't paying 100% attention, but it was on the news this morning and a headline in the paper {nothing on the front page about Melania}).

I ran to the store for a 5-Hour energy thing cause I just can't be drowsy. I'm leading these meetings and we have a ton to cover in a short period of time. So, now I'm feeling artificially awake, but I'll take it.

It as 85 degrees when I drove to the office this morning. It was 90 at 9pm last night. I thought Colorado was hot!!!

Yeah, one of our senators was the instigating force behind the Roll Call thing, and we're torn between feeling disrespected and "Hah, that senator's a jerk, let's see how he feels about being ignored and kicked around."

And yes, this temperature should hold for the next couple of weeks. Sleeping is hell.

It's 87 right now in KC. And humid, hella humid.

Well, the word that I saw was that Melania was writing her speech with "as little help as possible". I submit that it was not possible for her not to have a LOT of help.

I also appreciate how no one is blaming Melania, cause we all know that she didn't write her speech.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jesus, you guys, this year is a sick fucking joke. One of Tim's co-workers was diagnosed with ALS, and the timeline is pretty grim. It's a small company, and they've all worked together for several years, so they're all reeling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Someone must have googled "good speeches by first ladies" and gone from there. Like when kids just copy stuff into their papers by accident. Such an easy mistake!

Can 2016 just stop sucking.
