I've waited too long to eat, so now I am hungry, but also cranky and I am on the couch and I have to make food for myself and WAHHHHHH. These are the times I really wish I lived with a helpful person.

I didn't got to Pride but I was quite Pride-adjacent at times, including taking several people to meet up at the march, and getting to drive s l o w l y down the street where the parade vehicles were gathering (and being decorated) because of the traffic. Best sight was a dog rescue society with all the adoptable dogs with rainbow ruffs around their collars.

I am seeing something on facebook about possible shots fired at Pride parade in DC. Unconfirmed. Anyone know?
EDIT to ADD - seeing it now reported as a false report that caused panic.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had the opposite confusion when everyone was SO! VERY! EXCITED! that my step-grandmother was going to Grease, and I was like, ... it's great, but... and I didn't figure it out until she said she'd be gone for 3 weeks.
Hah!
Incidentally, even leaving the confusion aside, looking back on it my parents were still proposing that Grease was suitable entertainment for an eight year old. What the hell, parents?

When I was a teenager, I was in a youth theatre group, and we were doing Grease. The younger kids were originally supposed to do Oliver that session, but they begged to do Grease instead, and the director relented, figuring she'd edit the script for them. (This was before those Jr. versions of shows were available, and I'm sure it was violating the licensing agreement.)
Anyway. She gets everything edited, had auditions and casting, and hands out these extremely redacted scripts to the kids for their first read-through. Everything's going great, until the eight-year-old playing Rizzo tells the boys, "Everybody out! What do you think this is, a gang bang?" Then turns to the director to ask, "What's a gang bang?"

Isn't there a production company called Bad Monkey? Or am I thinking of Bad Robot?
I have heard of Anti Monster Spray. Apparently gullible little children think it's as good as an Acme product.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I want a fast food burger for lunch, but we don't have that in my neighborhood. So maybe I'm going to get poke??? Ridiculous.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll actually go to the supermarket and make myself a burger.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good morning ish. I wave to the Chicago residents from the direction of ORD. We've been up since 3am Florence time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't want to mock your dilemma, Jesse, but that's funny.
I am balancing how early I want to go have breakfast against how long I want to put off getting dressed. I don't think the temperature is objectively hot yet, but there is a quality to the environment that makes lying down with a lot of skin exposed to air conditioning seem highly desirable
