Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sophia, part of it is just snooty rage at the sheer dumbness of "It's not the protocol where I work three years later, therefore you're lying about the protocol three years earlier, barely a month into the whole mishegoss." She also objected to someone else's tweet about a current event because X happened the next day and therefore the tweet was a lie, completely ignoring, you know, THE WHOLE FUCKING WAY TIME WORKS AND ALSO YOU CAN'T EDIT TWEETS.

This is better, actually; exasperation at dumbness is much more benign than murderous rage.

I watched Prophecy Girl tonight. I am pleased to see that it held up. When she screams "look it up! tell me my fortune!" I got verklempt all over again.

This is better, actually; exasperation at dumbness is much more benign than murderous rage.

Why not both? The pandemic made me a big believer in letting natural selection run its course. If only I'd had the foresight to invest in horse de-wormer futures, I could have personally profited from the culling of the herd!

Thank you for the smile, Matt! Truthiness there.

My practices seem to think it is a Monday or something. I generally find Thursday a chill day but they didn't get the memo.

ION, the entire state of Florida had an emergency alert alarm test on cell phone, tv, and radio at 4:50 AM. I thought there was a water spout headed at me or something. TEST! I'm going to blame DeSantis just because.

Today is my eldest son's anniversary with his girlfriend. 4 years. Pretty cool. I sent them a gift card for dinner.

4/20 - I should have elected to take the day off work and stay stoned all day!

Hee! Clearly the practices are not honoring the spirit of the holiday.

I fucking hate 420. It's the worst day in San Francisco. Both Booksmith & Alembic close during 420 because Haight street is flooded with the most obnoxious idiots.

Yuck, I'm sorry to hear that. Here it is just a source of lighthearted jokes. Back when Bobby was doing Tesla service he brought me home the 420 service ticket tag for my car. I think it is still in the glove box.

Yeah, it's not a big deal or annoyance in ol' Herndon, VA. I can see where it would be a pain in some other locales.
