My apartment smells like heaven right now.

I was having a lovely evening until Marley started torturing me with photos of baked goods. Why you gotta be like that?

Guys, guys! It’s below 70 degrees! It was sprinkling a bit when I went to the store! I’m wearing boots and a long skirt!

Fall! Sort of! I’ll take it!

Update: once the sun broke through the clouds it was no longer cool. Sweat was running down the backs of my legs into my boots.

Don’t care. Wearing the boots!

3:14 am

A group of younglings (20 something’s?) has been standing at our gates for 20 minutes talking and laughing. Earlier, I heard guys arguing about money, “$500 is the best I can do!” And “yea, but you’ve got to understand that this is my business.” Then “dude, get in the car!” They left (finally!) but then 10 minutes later they’re back but now with chatty women. Again, standing around talking.

I don’t know if I just overheard a transaction for sex or what but it’s 3 am, STFU before I call the cops! “Sorry! Sorry!” And one drunk asshole, “hey, go to bed!”

Now I’m wide awake and will be totally useless later. I don’t care that it’s Saturday.

Good morning?

The idea is that since the main goal of all private corporations is to make money, they’ll be much more willing than the government is to cut costs and eliminate waste. The result, conservatives and libertarians say, will be more efficient, responsible, and responsive services. That’s the theory, at least. In reality, privatization of public services has been a total disaster wherever it’s been tried. And, as a new report from the Center for Media and Democracy shows, it’s also created huge opportunities for fraud and corruption. The report, which was released today and is titled “Pay to Prey,” focuses on how Republican governors in states all across the country used the cover of privatization to enrich campaign donors and political cronies. The worst culprits include some the biggest names in Republican politics.

Sadly, not surprised at all.

Just Cuz

We went out for an nice dinner tonight. Delicious Chinese food. A chance to sit for a little over an hour, chat, have someone else take care of the cooking and the serving and the washing up.

No reason.

This is an ebola fact sheet from the CDC. Ignore media outlets, and stick with facts.

Most importantly, wash your fucking hands, peoples. It’s flu season. And if you are sick, stay home. Don’t be an asshole.

This is what I wish the school had sent out to parents. The message they sent is vague and does not address much of what has already been said in the last 24 hours, and gives no instruction whatsoever. People here are freaking the fuck out. 

It doesn’t help that the 24 hour media cycle is fueling the panic, in fact:
Experts Offer Steps for Avoiding Public Hysteria, a Different Contagious Threat"

It’s 2014. Most of us have a powerful computer that fits in the palm of our hands. Take 5 minutes to do a teensy bit of easily available research and calm your tits.

I’m sorry, I’m REALLY sorry, but if anyone ever says “If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” to you, you should prooobably get the fuck outta there.

It’s a huge red flag right up there with “I can be a lot of work to be with but I’m so worth it”.

Spoiler: [Admiral Akbar voice] It’s a trap!

A million, zillion times yes. Should basically wear a name badge that says, “Hi, I’m a Narcissist!”
