I have a cold so I called in sick to work and spent the day dozing, reading, coughing, and blowing my nose. I feel like if I could find the right soup it would fix me but (a) that is probably not really true and (b) I would have to put on clothes and deal with people to acquire any soup (finished what I had in the pantry this afternoon) and so far that has been too much in the way of obstacles.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Also, I remember how much I hated the twinkly eye Michael Douglas poster for Wonder Boys, but when I actually watched it I really enjoyed that movie.
Michael Douglas usually gives me the screaming fantods, but what I remember about Wonder Boys is the absolutely criminal underuse of Katie Holmes, who managed to steal a scene with just one line: "Grady, have you edited this /at all/?" The chemistry between Tobey MacGuire and RDJ at the end was cute, but pretty much nothing else about the movie stuck in my memory, even though it was filmed in Pittsburgh not far from where I once lived.

80s to snow is wacky!!
Went to trivia tonight, and we won! Sadly the prize was only a $20 gift card, which would cover maybe two beers? We ended up with two teams of people because there were 9 of us. One team came in last and one came in first, I guess we should’ve split up differently!
Teppy that sounds like a day that needs a do-over.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
My day yesterday was unremarkable except for my after-work alley cat visit. Jojo was curled up in the shelter I bought for her when I arrived, so I have confirmation that it's serving its purpose and keeping her cozy & warm!
