I'm not sure how to get through today, you guys.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would totally watch a news channel that promised to never report on T@#$!p news.
so would i

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't blame you, Steph. Last night I felt such a hopeless depression. It hasn't picked back up this morning, but. It's going to be a long day.
Also, tiny woman in France, still on my list.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Buffistas}} I have 3 tvs tuned to Star Trek at the moment.
I don't anticipate encountering anyone pleased with today's event. Although I was really enjoying watching the weather forecast. Clear and 82F at home!

Because books.
I had to doublecheck my PBS stations before turning on the TV -- my most local one is actually covering the election live, so I have on another one with kids' programming all day.
I feel really hopeless today. I think I believed that something would actually happen to stop this before he was sworn in.

Seriously, between Kato and the inauguration, I am a wreck. I could have handled one or the other, but not both. And I have work to do, which I was hoping would be a distraction, but now I'm wondering how much work I can get done once I take an Ativan. I may have to email my coordinator and explain what's going on (at least about Kato).
2017 is not really any better than 2016, for the record.

Sorry Steph, I hope you and Tim can have some good time with Kato in the time that's left.
I'm kinda down about the whole inaugural thing. The Dems are 5-1 in national vote in the last quarter century and are now totally out of power. There is a huge block of people who won't believe anything that doesn't come form a right-wing news source. The next four years are going to be bad.

That seems like a good move.

Compassionately intolerant
I've got Firefly on the 'puter.
It is so bizarre, y'all. I haven't watched any coverage, and have locked myself out of fb for the day but...there are NO people on my street. Except for a few citizens going about their neighborhood business. Okay, not no one. Four people walking to the event. 4.
There is a very small rental tent across the street with bright orange vests. But nobody using it that I can see.
No noise. No bikers. Nothing.
This time 8 years ago, you could not take a step without bumping into revelers.
Weird.
I haven't taken Cagney out yet...he doesn't like wet weather...for fear of bumping into ugliness.
A friend who lives on the main walking route says she's seen a few people but nothing like we expect for tomorrow.
I don't even know how to feel about it.
