My theory about Trump is that he's an idiot. And that he is an idiot by choice, lacking any drive to learn anything.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Press generates $$ for him in most cases. People buy his books, merch. His speaking fees go up, his kids get more exposure, they get speaking bookings. I really think it is all about the $$ and now a little about the worship.

Things my office is horrible about: documentation and communication. It makes many things 10x harder than they need to be and kills efficiencies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just ate a full pint of grape tomatoes. They were so delicious! Now I feel good about my decision to buy a slice of pizza for lunch -- it was a good well-rounded meal.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Reading through a design and construction website, I found an article about how Sherwin-Williams has picked its color of the year for 2017.
(If you can't stand the suspense of having to click through, it's "Poised Taupe" ... aka BEIGE.)

"Poised Taupe"
I really prefer "Socially Awkward Taupe", it's more subtle.

Poised taupe? Dear lord. (It's a darker color than I would've thought, but...still. If that's 2017 I'm not super interested in the future)
Too much work. Not enough motivation.

"Poised taupe" is certainly my phrase of 2017!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

I like the color, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it over the past few years that it's been popular. (It's basically a darker "greige," right?) A thing I recognize about myself is that I eventually like most popular things.
