If we can have a fictional character for Secretary of State, I'll take Chrisjen Avasarala.
I vote Captain Holt.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just when I think this administration's hit rock bottom, they dig further.

I'm still going through a refresher course on web development, and the instructor has said 'semantic" so many times that it is losing all meaning to me.
Did you all see that the State Department spokesman was forced to resign as well?

Semantic is a funny word to lose all meaning.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Amazon box just arrived. I'm sure it's all fine, but oddly enough I no longer feel the need to open it right away, not when I know my DH can confirm whether a package was set to arrive today first.
So turns out my reaction to pretty much anything related to this administration is "Because OF COURSE he is." To wit: Oh Tillerson has been fired by presidential Tweet? Because of course he is. Oh, but wasn't he a dismal SoS? Because of course he is. Oh, and I see he's been replaced by... Pompeo. Because OF COURSE he is. Oh and Pompeo's being replaced by a woman... that's a new twist... who tortured people during the Bush adminstration. Because of course she did. Ugh!

I had time to catch on the news this morning, but the rest of my day has been nothing but work work work.
I need to write performance reviews for a bunch of people and I can't figure out how to motivate myself to do it right now.

Our wings are not tired.
So I just voted. Worked until 5, went to my
torture workout class for an hour and got to the polls 10 min before closing. One of the candidates was at my polling place with his kid. I shook his hand and voted for him. Apparently only about 400 people voted in my precinct. I was torn between my mayoral candidates, but went for Jim because I have broke bread with him. He opened his home to a bunch of strangers to host a Hillary campaign event the night of one of the debates. So I ended up having to vote for him. As of the moment Shelley is ahead 65/35, which likely has to do with the higher % of women voters in low turnout elections. That's cool if she wins. She knocked on my door and I had a nice long talk with her. Both candidates are fine. The really shocking part is that Jim has ALL the endorsements. All 7 previous mayors, both major papers, Police & Firefighters, and many more. We'll see.
Frankly I care more about the PA race. The candidates here are all good guys I can live with.
