I was at the pharmacy this morning and it was not busy. But maybe that was to come.
Went and hung out with an old friend who has moved back to town + partner and toddler, which was fun! Am just as glad to be home now.
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Matched Magic Mike XXL to end the year and now I'm going to bed because time is a construct.
Black-eyed peas are in the pressure cooker, Luke Cage finale cued up. Still sipping on that blueberry liqueur.
That's it for the blueberry, on to the schnapps of unknown flavor.
ETA after tasting it, I still don't know. Spicy?
Scouring the basement for edibles, I discovered that some of the packing peanuts I have were a tasty snack.
ISTG I thought you were eating packing peanuts.
Happy New Year, everyone. Let's hope we've switched back to the timeline that isn't the Kali Yuga.
The cats are hiding from the fireworks. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, lovely Buffistas!
Hoppin' John and Garlicky Collard Greens cooked, Luke Cage (I keep wanting to call him Nick Cage or sometimes John. Sigh) watched. Cheese and Doctor Whoe to tide me over 'til midnight.
Watched It's a Wonderful Life (after Matilda marathoned Project Runway all day).
Then topped it off with the 70s episode of the Supersizers Go...
I feel...meh about 2017.
I was remembering how there was this whole part of my body which relaxed when Obama was first elected and Bush left office.
And now I am ready to tense up again. To live in opposition to every fucking thing the government will do.
I just remembered the visceral loathing I felt towards GWB and Cheney, especially as their administration went out. I couldn't bear to look at their faces. It's going to be worse.
And I just wonder how much damage they'll do to institutions which help anybody in our country who isn't white and wealthy and straight.
Will they succeed in attacking Social Security? Will they sell off National Parks? Will they start wars? Will they allow Putin to move on the Balkans? Will they install somebody worse than Scalia on the Supreme Court?
My sense of ease and trust and hope and sense of progress is coming to a violent curtailment.

This.
