Yeah, that's the first one I thought of too.

Also, I really don't care for Bactrim. It's not making me nauseous per se, just makes food seem gross, which is the last thing I need right now. Odds are I'm gonna drop below 140 for the first time since I was 18. And I've got a lot more muscle now.

I'm tempted to take pre-surgery pics of my torso, just for me. Because I've never had major surgery before, and this will leave at least 4 scars from a knife. It's all just so strange to me. I grew a freaking rock, likely for no other reasons than genetics, it deformed an organ, silently, for years, and then went critical. Now they'll chop my insides open and reduce me an organ. And shotglasss sized stone. WTEverlovingF.

Aw, the guy who played Stefano on Days of Our Lives passed away.

Aww- Stefano...

And I totally remember Eugene and Calliope.

I followed multiple channels of soaps, too. Days was my first soap, but then I moved to ATWT and GL.

I need to get freezer bags to store things in. I wish a third of my freezer wasn't taken up with an ice maker I don't use.

So, the theatre that I'm involved in is putting on a Christmas show, next weekend and then the Wednesday and Thursday between Christmas and New Years (because that makes perfect sense).

It's going to be fucking EPIC.

The director, who isn't really a theatre person, wrote it. I don't think she's ever directed anything before. I'm not real sure she has yet. What little bit of her writing I have encountered did not feature a lot of dialogue. I think it tells you a lot about the board that all of my friends were in the "Danger, Will Robinson" camp and the board was like "This seems like a solid plan"

This is a Christmas show. It is not for kids under age 12. It is "dark." It has a hard-to-pronouce name. There is a character called "Lamb," who, I swear to the old gods and the new, is not Jesus, literally or symbolically.

They stole their logo.

There are, apparently, parts that are still uncast (which, given the revolving door that this cast has been is both totally predictable and a little surprising). At this point, they're still planning on using projections, and they're recording voice over this weekend.

There is no tech rehearsal.

I am going on opening night because this is the Christmas Show that 2016 deserves.

Maybe it's secretly an attempt to annoy Jesus into moving the Second Coming up in the schedule?

Hahahaha, oh Debet. I would go with you if geographically possible. Watching train wrecks is not normally my thing, but this sounds perfect storm level.

.... words fail me

Wow. That sounds awesomely horrible.

Well, that'll be interesting.

In other news, the WaPo broke a story last night that the Obama administration and Congressional leaders all knew in October that the Russians had hacked both the RNC and the DNC, and were actively working to get Trump elected. Not just destabilize the election, but get Trump into office.

Obama wanted to release a bipartisan statement about the issue, but McConnell refused and threatened to accuse the president of politicizing the issue. So Obama sat on it. And then Comey, who knew the Russians were interfering, sent his letter to Congress about Clinton/Weiner emails.

And Trump got elected. And Mitch McConnell's wife has been offered a cabinet position.

I cannot even. I'm not surprised by McConnell, because he's always been a heinous shitgibbon, but Obama should have forced the issue and taken the hit. Instead he let Comey tank Clinton's chances.
