Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I can't even bring myself to watch SNL clips. I might be able to watch Jon Stewart talking with Heather Cox Richardson later.

Exactly where I am at. Been reading magical romance novels, mostly. Listening to the new Louise Penny which does have some politics in the plot but at least it’s Canadian politics

I didn’t realize you were planning on moving so soon, Calli! How exciting!

Seth Meyers is my usual, and I can't even bear to look at the YouTube thumbnails at the moment.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I don't even know the results of local races, because I didn't want to check the news and see the results for POTUS and Senate, even though I already knew what those results were.

Okay, I just googled because I really did want to know, and almost everyone I voted for (straight Democratic ticket) was elected, other than POTUS and Sherrod Brown for Senate. And I really am glad so many Democrats were elected/re-elected in local positions, plus my district's U.S. House Representative (thank goodness). It's weird living in a blue corner of such a red state.

Our wings are not tired.

I was heartsick Over Sherrod. Scott and Cruz remain. It is ugly.

Always Anti-fascist!

I love Sherrod.(in a very platonic, policy-driven way that still makes it hard for me to believe that everyone doesn't. Even though it took me a minute to fully catch on that he wasn't a black man named SherrOD and that he didn't just strain his voice once.) The disability community nationwide will miss him sorely. (same with Casey, even if BC and I didn't agree about "schmasmortion")

If I couldn't be here when Ted Cruz was voted out, at least I can leave him behind. I'm going to have two Dem senators, instead of Cornyn and the Zodiac Killer.

Ted Cruz is so ew.

I too have not watched any news or even opened the post or the times since Tuesday. I probably will soon but…I just don’t wanna see it all rehashed and everything.

Tried to be productive and go to Lowe’s to get stuff to fix my toilet but they didn’t have it. Grrr. (I have some weird off brand toilets that don’t fit the “fits 99% of toilets” repair kits). So I gave up on productive.

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

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

Timelies all!

I got my first shingles shot today and my arm is sore. Next on the list is TDaP, and the second shingles shot.(which won't be for 2-6 months)

Mr. S is still in the hospital, and still getting disregulated on a regular basis. Meanwhile, we are busy filling in forms so he can be admitted to the residential treatment center on the 21st. Same one he was in last year. I feel sad and guilty that it has come to this, but nothing we do has been helping.
