I should say not.

So where HAS spring break sent you this year?

I was a guest on Martha Stewart Living Television.

Totally forgot the Heels were playing on Tuesday this week.

Guess they did all right without me.

I like Cooper and am ecstatic that he's running for Tillis's seat, but that doesn't mean I'm going to watch him speak in public.

How I arrived on BlueSky

Our portent of doom has been obscured by clouds.

Guess it's time for the Pink Floyd, then.

Yo, @spuffyduds.bsky.social

I grow increasingly resentful of the whole "workweek" thing.

“But what if we gave the One Ring better training?”

It's also pretty likely that my mom significantly underestimated the number of bird varieties there are.

Mom passed along my baby book, which tells me stuff about when I first did things (sit, stand, crawl, etc.) and notes the following:

"21 mo.- knows nearly every variety of bird there is"

"Birding Age" came for me early.

It's worth remembering that, as enraging as every weak-as-lettuce institutionalist peep of concern emitted from Schumer and Jeffries' mouths might be, there are scores of Republicans too corrupt or too spineless to make even so much as a peep.

The question, dear reader: in which haul was my eclecticism made more obvious?

Today's CD haul:
The Clash/debut
Gentle Giant/Free Hand
Mountain Goats/All Hail West Texas
Florence & the Machine/Everybody Scream

Today's book haul:
Kurt Vonnegut/Timequake
Helen deWitt/The Last Samurai
John Scalzi/When the Moon Hits Your Eye
AS Byatt/The Matisse Stories
Brandon Sanderson/Mistborn

Out at the bookshop today, I spotted T. Kingfisher's books right next to Stephen King's and thought, "Y'know, picking that name would have been a really clever bit of marketing...

"...If I didn't know that @tkingfisher.com thinks a great deal more about cool birds than about marketing."

To be fair, Nixon didn't start a war in the Middle East so much as just maintain the existing war when he took office, but he put a *lot* of extra effort into that.

And people wonder why I've never voted for a Republican presidential candidate.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

The "Epstein Fury" joke is already circulating, so I'll take the under.

At least you picked a good soundtrack.

The only good thing about this February is that it ends at midnight.

NARF!

After three weeks off, plus a week before that of snow-related virtual school, it's not terribly surprising that I found this work week about as long as I could stand.

Buying airline tickets is like having teeth pulled, but first you have to take an exam, and your score dictates how MANY teeth, and before you learn your score, you're told that if you run fast enough they won't pull any teeth at all but the dentist is a cheetah with pliers.
