Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

... where was he, meara?

I have a guy here from Sonic to install actual fiber optic cable! So much faster internet!

Turns out "reconstitution" really means "nobody has to wear a mask, even in meetings and common areas". Sigh.

I'm not eager to discover that all these relaxed requirements will result in big jumps in Covid numbers in three or four weeks...

Yay fiber optic cable! Boo acting like covid is over when it isn’t. I’m like we have as many cases per day right now as we did in November, and more than last summer, but now it’s suddenly ok to give it all up?

My brother was in the Czech Republic. Easy to talk shit about Obamacare when you have socialized medicine, and somehow he didn’t find it hypocritical that he criticized immigrants to the US, but is still not fluent in Czech himself.

What is even happening?

Heh. Remember "Freedom Fries"?

A Quebecois restaurant just renamed poutine to «Frite Fromage Sauce» [link]

Oh, because "poutine" sounds too much like Putin. That took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out.

Hey Buffistas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And yesterday's HONY was gutting but THEN had a satisfying ending. I kept checking it all day like I was waiting for a new Dickens chapter to drop.

It's totally going to be a miniseries starring Reese Witherspoon.

Although, I must say, I personally know a comparable story that goes in entirely the opposite direction where the wife connived and successfully was a golddigger, had everything she aspired too and then Broke Bad and lost it all and went to jail and lost custody of her kids.

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

Oh, is that why? I never would have figured that out. I was just trying to remember what people were mad at the French for back then, there's been so much manufactured outrage of one kind and another.

They were mad at the French, because they didn't want to invade Iraq with us, -t.

Tht rings a bell. I knew it was something stupid, but that hardly narrows it down.

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

Timelies all!

Mr S ended falling asleep before dinner yesterday.(He woke up up briefly when Gary gave him dinner, which he didn't eat much of, if any) Amazingly, he didn't come into our room until 6:20 this morning, which pretty close to when we usually get up.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dang, I didn't even figure it out; you had to explain it for me!

Hi, Cindy!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Notary just came to our apartment and we signed all the frickin' papers, plus inky thumbprints.

Monday morning gigantic wodges of money start flying via Wire Transfer.

Tuesday we get keys. [knock wood]
