I have the same reaction to Michael Moore, and I agree with him on a bunch of stuff. Annoying is annoying.

It's easy to dismiss people you have no basic connection with, but decent company can be hard to find. At my age I can't afford to jettison friends just because they vote stupid or resist vaccination.

Plus wtf is Jiroux?

Not to mention the oranges most likely to get juiced are the ones with visible pest damage and mold, so the nice ones can go on the market shelf.

Great Hedgehog, Internet!

Copping out is the Best Defence.

I still haven't shaken a deep cough that keeps me away from the gym, but I dropped a few pounds anyway as being bummed out has taken away my appetite.

That one makes a good recorded book if you find a narrator with a feel for the rhythm and humor of it. I found it fun to read as well though.

I think that's third on my to-read list after Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and the rest of 1Q84. Or maybe it was Blind Assassin? I saw one of those on the library shelf yesterday and made a note of it.

"If I knew it was harmless, I'd have killed it myself!"

Finished book 2 of 1Q84. The end was weaker than the rest of the book, but still an enjoyable story. There's a fair amount of chaff, some of which I think is deliberate.

Another advantage of beer is it's almost impossible to drink enough to undergo Alignment Change. With whiskey you can accomplish that and still have room for burgers.

Do I still have the Olympics on the brain? No. Am I still hot for my spouse after 15 years? Yes.

You don't look Drowish.

We should take a page out of Russia's book and alternate between hairy and bald. Maybe that only works for presidents though.

So it's basically G 1-2-3 from the AD&D set. And I should have scrolled down first.

I wouldn't part with Duck Stab or the Commercial album, though I have neither on CD. I would keep any Residents up to and including God in 3 Persons. The more recent ones are fine but I feel like I have to see the show to appreciate them.

I saw YF in the theater when I was about 7. I didn't get half the jokes, but it was still funny.

That "sign up for our newsletter" pop-up prevents arrow scrolling and it won't go away. It's annoying and it makes me not want to read this stuff.

The idea that Mark Hamill turned down a gig in Hollywood seems less plausible to me than the Zombie Apocalypse.
