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

They keep taking games away from me. I have a frikkin' NYT subscription from my office, I'm not paying for my own just to pay fifty cents more to get games.

They took the Mini, Tiles... if they mess with WORDLE its going to be war.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I put in “fanfiction” yesterday and it said no, so I assumed “fanfic” wouldn’t be allowed! Bananas.

Completely illogical!

I have a running grudge against them for not allowing "mana" when they include many a less familiar word. I always try just before entering "manna" just in case they've changed their mind.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What odds would you give that "manna" is on their list?

Bob and I separately get to genius ( most days) and then try to finish it up together.

I was awake from about 230am until about 6am. When I finally fell back asleep for 30 minutes before my alarm. Boo. Fingers crossed for a slow work day.

Thrive to spite them

Job ~ma for Dylan.

I'm so ready to be off. And I have both Sat and Sun off because M and I are going to the SC Comicon. It's a one day event the big one is 3 days int the fall. I'm so tired from PT yesterday and all the physical work that alli want to do tomorrow is rest so I'm ready to walk Sunday. It's a small con even when it's three days but it should be fun. We are also taking one of M's nephews.

I won't be able to spend much between missing work a day a week for various ailments and then also paying for PT x a week my budget is stretched. I need to do way better about spending money. I know that I just kind lose to impulse too much.

M's Mom actually bought him a Super NES from some retro game place, he had her take him a few places. And he also bought me a Doctor Who Magic the Gathering Doctor Who Commander deck. He was so excited and I was so tired when I got home I couldn't quote match his enthusiasm. It is really neat though it has Missy on the box. He had no idea who she was "I wanted to get you a commander deck and it's a Doctor Who with a lady Doctor on it!".

So we will be watching Doctor Who to get him educated. I don't even know if you can play 2 different collab decks against each other.
