eta: My eyes are really pretty closed. The photo dude did it a couple times and had me open them wide.

I've heard a trick is to close your eyes and for the photographer to give you a count of three to open them.

It seems my sardonic tone doesn't come across on FB, but I'm very amused at having the occasion to use "You mistake me, sir." I may adopt this style more often.

We don't have cable/satellite/dish network, just over-the-air (and a Roku to watch Hulu and stuff, but that's not the point). We get this weird station called "Decades." And on Inauguration Day that channel is playing previous inauguration ceremonies all morning AND at noon (when #45 is sworn in, god help us). For real, at noon when Trump is being sworn in, that "Decades" channel will be playing Pres. Obama's second inauguration.

And now I know what will be on my TV on Friday. Because fuck Trump.

Got here in time (local time, anyway), to wish msbelle a wonderful birthday! And to wish you the start of a wonderful year to come!

Oh, fabulous. Since I've finally got my laptop on for the first time this weekend, I thought I'd take a quick look at the bank's site, 'cuz I'm due to balance my checkbook. Imagine my surprise to discover I've overdrawn my checking account today, in a parking lot in Los Angeles. (Hint: I haven't left San Diego, or my house, at all today) Guess who gets to call the Credit Union first thing to cancel her debit card and start disputing charges? (Hint: Me).

Thankfully it doesn't look like they tried the savings accounts, since those actually have some money in them.

TCM is showing "A Face In the Crowd" on inauguration day. Which is pretty danged pointed.

Sorted through a bunch of family memorabilia tonight, over quite a lot of good wine. Not sure I will be up for running in the a.m...

Dangit, I missed msbelle's birthday. Happy Belated, msbelle! And may the year be more wonderful than you expect!

On a non-related subject, I am loving the growing number of politicians declining to attend the inauguration.

Seriously! I've been telling people to watch that movie for months.

Controversially, I actually don't really approve of elected officials boycotting the inauguration.

Speaking of food, I just made this butternut squash linguini alfredo and it's delicious.

I made this yesterday on Calli's rec and concur it is delicious. It confused N who thought it was mac and cheese.

Why is that?
