this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Copy editors everywhere are always trying to live up to the high-water mark of "Headless Body in Topless Bar."

They pay me in WOIMS

I’m still amazed at the genius who thought it would be a good idea to pick a fight with Jack Reacher.

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.

I just took an online survey that disqualified me when I answered "strongly disapprove" about the job Trump is doing. Yeah, I'm sure that poll is going to have real accurate results.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

the battery backup for my computer lets me know it's getting low with a siren noise. I thought the cricket chirp from the last ones was annoying, but good lord, that restarted my heart and was really good for thinking too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks for the ~ma, y’all.

I have many questions about the cornhole champion murderer. But mostly I’m picturing the family of the victim looking for a way to tell people about it that centers their lost family member more than the unexpected attributes of the murderer.

“Poor Braderick, taken from us too soon.”

“I just heard. Who killed him?”

“Well …”

I too have many questions. Most of them strike me as too disrespectful to voice, but wow is my morbid curiosity having a field day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm taking a LinkedIn Learning course (assigned by corporate) and the instructor keeps introducing herself as "the author of The Long Game" and my poor little Heated Rivalry-coded brain does a record scratch every. single. time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Welcome to the post-Equinox in which your daily ration of sunlight will be increased daily.

I have hard gel nails for the first time and I have to say, I think I'm a convert. They look fab and much more durable than regular polish.

I've started watching Rooster on HBO and am enjoying it so far. Hard to go wrong with Steve Carrell and the cast is excellent. I was watching one actor thinking, "Why does he look so familiar and why is his face so punchable?"

It was the actor who played Jamie Tartt on Ted Lasso.

Some other friends have recommended DTF St. Louis (also a comedy on HBO) so I'll check that out too. I need some new distractions.

Speaking of Steve Carrell, he was on Amy Poehler's podcast recently and it was such a warm happy vibe. Recommended if you need a mood lifter: [link]

Man, Jess, your professional entanglements with Heated Rivalry are breaking new ground!
