Nah, that was my sister/wife, Banmar. She's out of politics now.

I think I'll just work in a pretty well-paying and boring job while indulging in my hobbies that make me happy.

Yeah, it's super easy to throw a hunk of meat and some other stuff into the crock pot while I go swimming and do yard work and what not. And yes, it's fantastic for lunches.

Thank you.

Fuck my shitty co-workers. One is leaving next week, but since she'd a dim bulb to begin with and I spend a good bit of my day correcting her mistakes, I'm not even upset about the amount of work I'm going to have to pick up on account of it. I've spent two years trying to teach her how to not suck at her job and…

Man, you just made me feel almost bad for being shitty to our shitty temp here.

I got nothing advise-wise, just wishing you and your partner the best.

Yeah, we're just not talking about the Phillies. My work bestie is a Mets fan and we are just ignoring the MLB in it's entirety right now. More excited for the Flyers than anything else, but that's my personal bias.

You forgot "gives me life", "adulting", "af", "100 percent" … should I go on?

In their defense, it's a fun read the first time around. Once you get over the nostalgia rush, it's a really shitty and cliched story.

To paraphrase Tony Soprano, the lowest form of conversation is "Hey, remember that time …".

My next door neighbors (not the guy with the python, the other side) is a rental and the current occupants either don't care or are too tired to care (as every adult seems to work crazy hours) about the vine taking over the back half of the house. The last time I spoke to them was to ask them to turn their music off…

Michael's coupons are fantastic, though AC Moore runs a lot of the same deals and has a rewards program. I'm off work all next week and have nothing planned. My new mattress is being delivered tomorrow (one of those foam and gel deals). So I hope to catch up on some sleep, knit some socks, read some books, and swim…

I made pulled chicken last weekend in the crock pot. It turned out surprisingly well, though I would recommend a honey barbecue sauce instead of the regular kind.

Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad that Crossed an Ocean by Les Standiford. It's a remarkably readable history of how one of the founders of Standard Oil pretty much created the tourist scene on the East Coast of Florida and then built a railroad to Key West,…

I have this theory that people only hate this word because it's a meme to hate this word. "Moist" doesn't bother me in the least, especially not in the context of cooking/baking and weather. If people can't get over the fact that certain parts of their bodies are supposed to be moist (and that certain activities…

"Moist" is not disgusting at all. Do you enjoy dry baked goods?

How is "titmouse" not on the list?

If people don't think about it, how is it a meme? And I will agree with you that it has plenty of problems, not the least of which are wooden performances and crappy dialogue. I think part of the issue is that it does a poor job of intertwining the politics and the action.

And all of those scenes in the Senate never happened …
