FOOTBALL!
I had to just blaze through the Blackhawks game on Tivo to make sure I got done by kickoff.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

Also? My salsa verde pork roast is not cooking. My crockpot may be broken, woes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now that's a sandwich.
God, local TV is so funny. All the local affiliates aren't even bothering to go up against the football game so they're all running infomercials.
This is why we don't go into the low channels!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok. We got out of the house, made to the last half of ballet and then picked up Em's BFF who is now totally asleep in Em's bed. I am CRACKING UP.
Joke's on me. Em's BFF slept until 4:00 and even then only woke up because Em woke her up. I took her temp. Eff eff eff. 101.9 in one ear, 102.5 in the other. Le sigh.
Called mom and dad and they'll be here in a bit. I've administered NSAIDS, chicken noodle soup, and orange juice to BFF and hugs and promises to reschedule the sleepover to Em.
Total clusterfuck, thy name is Today.

Okay, I hope everybody saw the temperature at game time there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just learnt what a tontine is. Excellent! A brilliant setup for killing everyone around you. I'm trying to work out if I read about/seen tontine-like scenarios in fiction, and how much you can play with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Definitely in Archer, and I'm sure I've read about them elsewhere, but I do enjoy old detective stories.

Have you watched the Archer episode "Double Deuce"?

Damn, that was a big hit.
Takeaways are the 49ers only chance, but they can't march it downfield like Brees just did.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They're saying Pierre Thomas was knocked out. Not good.
