Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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

Funnily enough, I just had a call with my boss wherein he wanted to know if I had any feedback about said meeting. I did indeed. I did *not* say it was a total waste of time.

Mmmm. Got my peach cobbler from a new bbq place that opened up a few blocks from my house during quarantine times so I haven't been to the actual restaurant and this is actually the first time I've ordered from them because of the vagaries of finding an intersection amonth their open times and my having money times and my not being currntly obsessed with some other kind of food times but it all came together today! Yum.

Ate the dessert first because of reasons, but also got some bbq and sides to try. So far so good.

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

Timelies all!

Waiting for the e-mail from the appropriate people at work letting me know I can schedule the 1st COVID vaccine shot.

What is even happening?

Thanks, JZ. I was hoping people would share it to get an idea of how much this happened, but it didn't catch people's eye. It's a little gross that Disney-ABC, as a company, is bifurcating impeachment programming from its news division, based on location.

move out and draw fire

We've spent four years normalizing increasingly grotesque and extraordinary behavior... I think it's going to be like adjusting to being back on dry land after months at sea.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Best case scenario now is a law to block him from ever running for office again.

McConnell may actually be on-board to do that. He wants his party back.

Our wings are not tired.

So today I noticed I had 2 new episodes of ZEP in my Hulu queue, and watched them. Also, I became a grandparent, and drove to NY and back, and the disgrace in the White House is Impeached, again. Then I went to see how far behind I was here so I could talk about stuff, and it was thousands of posts. So, Laura diet, I skipped massive numbers of posts and went to first post of the day. Life is overwhelming, but if I stick to the day forward maybe I can do this.

First post today was msbelle talking about Disney! My SILs, other friend, and their kids went there Monday. They said it was incredible. With the low occupancy rate there was zero waiting in lines for anything. They were delighted and didn't feel unsafe at all.

Still no vaccines here. My doctors said I should have gotten mine when I was in NY because FL is the worst. I know a lot of people already vaccinated up there. Boo, Florida!

And Impeachment! Yes, we still have to live through another week, but I feel more hopeful. I watched with a large buffer to enable skipping over the people I don't care to hear. I have no guilt about that.

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

I have no guilt about that.

No guilt required!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

That's a good side to the pandemic that I hadn't considered!

ION, my left ankle is stupid and I hate it forever. If I didn't need it to keep myself ambulatory, I would launch it into space.
