And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

She, however, did not tell her own staff.

Not helpful.

I had a Zoom call with my sisters this morning where we all vented about yesterday, so that was cathartic. I can't say all the rage is expelled, but I do feel functional, more or less. At one point I was re-enacting my screaming obscenities at Ted Cruz while I was listening and driving yesterday... my DP came in and said, "Honey, you're scaring the cats..." (I wasn't really; it was funny. I am not generally a screamy person.)

I did not attack any of the Junk Room yesterday, but I'm headed back in there today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Hey JenP, I will be your cohort in junk room organizing. I moved my home office back upstairs and that room is a MESS and home of most of the still unpacked boxes from Texas. Since I have little interest in doing more than what is absolutely necessary for work I will be doing organizing in this room.

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

Ugh, msbelle

it WILL NOT forkING HAPPEN.

This is what is getting to me right now. I really thought SOMETHING would happen. But apparently not. WTF will it take?

In better news, having pie for breakfast. A la mode. Because I can.

Hey JenP, I will be your cohort in junk room organizing.

Cool, thank you. OK, well, my first step needs to be clearing the floor into (and of) the closet -- there's a desk in there, and the goal is to free it to move out into the room in front of the window.

Leftover pot roast for lunch right now, then onward.

That is a fabulous move, -t.

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

I knew that one of the demonstrators who died yesterday had accidentally Tasered himself.

What I now know is that he tased himself in the balls while trying to steal Thomas Paine's portrait.

I got to tell JZ this story while she giggled and just said, "Common Sense."

Also, there's growing suspicion (at least among our allies) that Trump had help among Federal forces (such as Homeland Security) in drawing down the forces around the Capitol.

Security experts are saying that not even basic protocols of crowd control were enacted. It wasn't just ineptitude. The Capitol was purposefully left vulnerable.

What is even happening?

Oh my word, is this true? I'm laughing so hard I'm afraid of the results a careless Google could bring.

Is this the real life?
