New Year's Eve snuck up on me again. I heard explosions outside and just figured someone was hunting late. I wasn't even aware it was Sunday until a few minutes ago. My side hurts and I don't know what I've done. I've been coughing a lot lately, maybe that's it. I write this because I've … Continue reading
I have no title.
I keep telling myself that thinking "nobody cares" really isn't fair, but it's getting harder to believe when there's no one else trying to convince me otherwise. I'll be glad when this is all over.

Just a little nothing from Tumblr about the whole "87,000 IRS Agents" doo-lolly. Long story short, unless you want the IRS spending time auditing folks that work at catfish farm at a higher rate than someone who works for Homeland Security, more IRS agents is a good thing.

Not the assassinating or even the tangoing, but I had planned on learning … Continue reading You know, I had a plan.

It's Thursday and I'm writing this because I want to get it out of my head. I'm still taking a break. Anyhow. Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to be the next Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, taking old boss Stephen Breyer's place when he steps down this summer. She won the vote with a 53-47 score … Continue reading Friday, April 7, 2022

I am still taking a break. It's been a drag, beloved, and sometimes you need to air out the attic. Part of it - hell, probably most of it - is my own bad wiring. I've been on a stone-cold bummer since before Christmas and losing Otis just made it worse. Or made it all … Continue reading Wednesday, April 6, 2022

We're going to be shut down for a little bit. I'll get back to you when I get back to you. If you must know what I think or what topics look important, follow me on Twitter. Posting will be light there, too, though.
