Yay new job!
I am still verklempt. The more I hear about the "transition" the more dismayed I get. To the point that W is seeming better by comparison, and he was a disaster.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

move out and draw fire
...what do you think they would do, volans? That had not even occurred to me as a concern?
I don't think it really happens. I think at midterms, when the Trump administration hasn't made life wonderful, the Dems retake the Senate.
But if the GOP could, I think they'd restructure the Second Amendment, make some changes to the 13th, and generally yuck.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't think the Ds take the Senate back in 2018. They'll be defending 23 out of 33 seats (plus 2 Independents that caucus with the Ds). At least numerically, the House might be more doable.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary's been away on business this week. He gets back tonight. He's had a lot of business travel in the last two months.It's hard enough wrangling Mr. S when I'm at 100%, but I'm exhausted. (I'm crutch-free and heading towards being brace-free, but I'm still not back to normal)

Sheryl, I'm sorry. I hope you get a bit of a break when Gary gets home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know no one cares about it but me, but why is Yael Groblas from Jane the Virgin on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know, but I liked it! More Yael Groblas is my stand, apparently.

Actually, the governor of Texas has proposed a constitutional convention primarily to "rein in the federal government and restore the balance of power between the States and the United States". (see more) Oddly enough, nothing about outlawing abortion.

So there was a bomb threat and possible actual explosive (unclear if it was capable of detonating, it did have explosive material) at my nephew's elementary school in Alabama today. That's about all that's known for certain.
