Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, they still might. I haven't gotten the call back with the explanation yet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been raining all day. yay

Meanwhile, I'm trying to find out what has happened to a package of mine. UPS tracking says it was signed for at the local post office on 3/14. I called the post office(or at least the 800 number for USPS), stayed on hold for a very long time until I talked to a real person who said the manifest was signed for, but the package wasn't there. What do I do next?

Sheryl, I'd try following up with the company from your original order to see if you can report the package as missing. The company you ordered from may let you mark the package items as missing and ship them again free of charge, or offer a refund. You also could try following up with UPS or filing an online claim with USPS, although I'm dubious about the effectiveness of the latter.

In other news, I think I've discovered the person who's been using my email address as her own, and it's an Australian MP. Is it more or less weird to stalk someone online who's a public figure and yell at them to stop using your email address?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, first question. Can you, using this address, actually govern Australia?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wait, what?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Dana FTW.

Strange women in the halls of Parliament, misusing email, is no basis for a system of government.

Wait, what?

I'm pretty sure she's using it for personal email? Most of the time?

Do I need to fly to Australia and give an amateur talk on InfoSec to your MPs, billytea?

Yes! Because that would be hilarious.

I am happy to report that Casper somehow managed to squeak out a 61.3 in Algebra 2, thanks to some miraculous bonus points. Her teacher is a notorious hard-ass, so I don't even think that it was a sympathy D!

So wish me luck trying for front-zone tickets for kpop group NCT in Chicago, May 7. On sale tomorrow at 11am!

Great news, flea. I can remember well celebrating a D for mine!
