"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

To some extent I think it's very funny (sometimes cringy) and tackles lots of stereotypes with humor, but maybe more as an inside-joke kind of funny? About half of the local comments are hating it. I hope Eurovision fans will get the humor, though.

In addition, I want a version of Lucy's yellow top.

My alarm went off this morning when I was in the middle of a vivid dream, so now I'm all groggy. But I have the distinct memory of being in a large garage and spotting a familiar kitty on the other side of the room. I called out to Shadow, who immediately came racing over to me and jumped into my lap for some serious snuggles. He was wearing a yellow vest that I recognized as some sort of service animal vest. So I guess he's spending his afterlife wandering Dreamland to snuggle up to people, especially as someone in the background was complaining that he had work to do. My apologies to Dreamland for apparently sneaking past a Staffmembers Only door, but I learned it from my father, that that's where you'll see the cool things.

Our wings are not tired.

About half of the local comments are hating it.

I read the English comments, but there were too many I couldn't read and the browser doesn't automatically translate, but I wondered about the local comments. It's edgy for sure.

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

Aw, that's sweet, Connie.

Certainly an opportunity, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I'm supposed to be writing reviews for my staff, but man, I do not want to! I wish I had more time this weekend to pretend I would do it then. So I just went for a little walk to procrastinate and found some treats (pretzel sticks covered in cinnamon sugar -- surprisingly delicious) and a colleague with a weird question, so that killed some time, but I should NOT be killing time! I should be doing my work! Feh.

OK. I will jot down a few notes to get me started. I think I have one review meeting Monday and then nothing until Wednesday, anyway.

FWIW, that ... promo? ... is no weirder than Eurovision itself.

So I didn't get anything done, but I'm going to leave anyway!

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

Timelies all!

That Eurovision promo is really...something. (Why do I want shawarma?)
