Ugh, I should not have opted for high caffeine blend coffee from the convenience store this morning, my stomach's been feeling ooky ever since. Even application of grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup at lunch didn't seem to help much.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Haha, you’re so right, Tep!

Trudy, I mean the matzo that’s labeled “not for passover use” which is all that’s left on the shelves now…

Feel better, Matt.
Steph, yes, Krok the Crock. How Dickensian! and, also, yes re: the missed op with Carl's name. Randomly, I enjoy Fiona and her crew. I hope Leif gets to meet the Ert.

Yes! I especially love Phil.
I hope Leif gets to meet the Ert.
He deserves it!

Pam Bondi is out. Big surprise.
However, it's a glorious day in SF (after a rainy yesterday) and I got to have coffee with my friend Rachael this morning, and then I have Pilates with her this afternoon (she's my teacher).

Carl is a pretty good name, though

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Our wings are not tired.
I know that Bondi's replacement is just as evil, but I am really delighted that we won't have to listen to her anymore. She was so vile in the hearings. I know she got fired for not being vile enough, but I've been disgusted with her since she was AG in Florida. I hope her private sector job is cleaning sewers.

Going to hell for sure! Or wait, I think that is a Catholic thing. You're good.
I did several onerous paperwork jobs today, but still avoiding my taxes. Really have to do that tomorrow. I'm not going to owe any money but it is really a chore to do both the corporate and personal returns. But since I did get an accounting degree I really should just do it. Sigh. Tomorrow.
