Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

When are you seeing Deadpool & Wolverine, Steph?

When are you seeing Deadpool & Wolverine, Steph?

Have you been texting with my brother to coordinate prodding me to go see it? (He texted me yesterday and said "We're seeing Deadpool & Wolverine tonight! When are you seeing it?" I said "Well, we're leaving Saturday morning for vacation, so we probably won't see it until after vacation." He said, "You know I might have a literal aneurysm not being able to discuss it with you for that long." Later, he also said "That was incredible. It needs multiple viewings in the theater.")

Anyway, the nearest movie theater to Topsail is a 45-minute drive, so we really will most likely wait to see it until we get home.

I took today off, and I’m seeing it in an hour.

Excellent! My brother also said the new full trailer for Venom 3 is awesome.

My son saw it last night. I asked if he wanted to see it again with me and he replied absolutely.

Oh Tom! I got your zine in the mail. It's great . Everyone should buy a Tom Scola Zine.

M and I haven't seen a movie in theater in ...a long time. Mostly because I've been wary of it with the post concussion stuff . And also nothing really feeling like a must see.

Last night right as I was dozing off M informed me we have to see Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters. Not sure when . But I agree.

I figure since I can’t go out (booooo!!!) I will be watching a bunch of Olympics this weekend.

So ....this is a headline about the GOP VP.pick I never thought I'd see

"J.D. Vance didn’t have sex with a couch. But he’s still extremely weird."

On the one hand the AP really messed up with the whole couch sex rumor...I mean how hard is it to verify, realize it's baseless and then ignore it.

On the other hand we get articles like this and memes of Couches for Harris

Trump really shouldn't take advice from Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Eric and Donald Jr (I think they were the being JD Vance for VP people). But hey at least people have forgotten about Trump having small hands...

I decided to watch the opening ceremonies, but my screen is frozen, so I see a bunch of pink dressed people while I listen to the NBC banter. I guess I'll try and refresh.

eta: refreshed in time for the cool dancing stuff.

In Laura is always under construction news, the guys have torn out the ceilings and walls and all the crap behind them and are putting in new insulation upstairs. Next, outlets (all with USB) and ceiling light fixtures, then pine on the walls and ceilings the same as below. Shhh, don't tell DH but they are putting in pocket doors on the 3 bedrooms too. I am sleeping on the couch downstairs while they do all that. It is nice not to have to go down the stairs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

According to things I've seen on various social media sites, the couch sex thing is actually from the first edition of his stupid book, but was removed from subsequent editions. I'm sure that is also an internet rumor, but it cracks me up.
