Laura, I hope your aunt gets good care and recovers.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Lord give me strength. A friend on Facebook is asking whether a t-shirt (that he wants to buy) with a Miata on it under a rainbow and the text "I'm not gay; I just like Miatas" is offensive.
MY GUY. What the actual fuck. (Fortunately, almost every comment is informing him that yes, it is offensive.)

Because books.
At least he's asking? Yeah, I know.
Random hugs or waves or hair pats to everyone. It's so hot here my brain has begun to melt. Pretty sure I can feel it leaking out my ears.

Our wings are not tired.
This is the nurse, Laura?
Yes. I'm about to call my MIL, her sister, and see what she knows.

Dang, my brother just told me he got tear gassed and shot with a rubber bullet at the Portland protest last night. I'm actually still glad he went but yikes, another thing to worry about.

Shit! Those things are blinding people all over.

Laura, tons of ~ma to your aunt. I hope she fully recovers.
Ouch, -t. How is your brother doing today?

But really, I've enjoyed the SW animated stuff more than the movies recently: the last six episodes of Clone Wars season 7 was excellent. (I have no interest in watching Anakin Skywalker be a whiny jerk so I basically only watched the Ahsoka eps in the final season, and those were great.)
I've watched some of the Clone Wars and, yeah, Ahsoka seems like the most interesting character of the show.

Coding and Sleeping
I also saw the new Midway movie not too long ago and it was both better than I expected and not that great. Maybe it was intentional, but it feels more like a movie about the lead up to Midway than the battle itself. So much of what happened at Midway is skipped that it feels very incomplete.
If you give a generous pass for artistic license on a number of details (the ships are way too close together, the Japanese could only dream their anti-aircraft fire was that intense and accurate, the wrong planes are shown in a few places, etc...) it seems reasonably historical, but so much is skipped that you lose the context for the scenes that are shown. I really wished they just did a scroll with the events leading up the battle and used the time to cover more events from the battle. Still, I think it's far superior to the 70s version.
