Me desperately trying to maintain a positive attitude when literally every aspect of my life and the world in general is currently terrible:

The Bill Shat commercial was my favorite. I'm a simple girl, what can I say.

Stupid Bowl spread: homemade guacamole and chili/garlic/lime wings, and some shrimp cocktail ๐ŸคŒ

Every year for the StupidBowl I make guacamole and I always say, "I should make this more often, not just for the game," and then I don't make it again until next year.

I usually don't know either unless the Patriots are in it because of the fact that I live in New England and wouldn't be able to escape it.

Wasn't MTV supposed to go away? It's still there on cable showing Ridiculousness over and over like usual.

Getting to see Jake Sisko again on Star Trek Starfleet Academy talking about his dad has made me unreasonably happy and absolutely insufferable. I know it's pandering but I literally don't care, I love it. Pander me, please.

It's once again that time where I have to try to understand curling.

If it were any other person, I'd be like "oh he knows the writing is on the wall so he's just going down swinging and being fully awful before he goes to jail" but Trump's been like this literally the entire time and nothing has happened so I think he's just having a blast at this point.

A recent tarot card reader told me I was ignoring tons of signs from the universe and I'm here to confirm that I continue to ignore these signs because I am an idiot.

Enjoy your Friday the way College Francine enjoyed silly t-shirts and drinking in people's basements.

There's no way to say the word cookies without sounding like a complete dork.

I watched the new Muppet Show this morning during my workout and I give it a solid A-. Stayed true to the original and the characters and their voices weren't as far off as they've been recently. I was missing Floyd and I prefer my audience to not have humans in it, but I still liked it.

Everything is so incredibly dark now. Frighteningly dark. And I just keep working and doing laundry and watching my bullshit shows. I hate this.

With the Muppet Show returning tomorrow and Mike, Kevin and Bill announcing that they're coming back to MST3K it's a very special time for 11-year-old Francine.

Seeing Mike, Kevin and Bill back under the Mystery Science Theater 3000 name and with the bots again made me so giddy I could barely stand it (and knowing we're getting Pearl, Brain Guy and Bobo back too makes me want to cry). I will always love and respect Joel but these guys literally raised me.

Caught the movie Groundhog Day right at the part where he tries to off himself over and over and it's like same, Phil.

Everyone: "A rodent says there's 6 more weeks of winter!"
Me: *looking at my yard that's had a foot of snow on it for like 2 weeks* "I concur."

On our weekly staff call when it was my turn to present the COO was like "I didn't see Francine join the call but I can feel her presence so I know she's here" and she wasn't even kidding (and this is not the first time someone has said that about me). My energy is intense, folks.

How many times will this lady who doesn't like me but keeps demanding I do things for her email me despite the fact that I don't respond? We're up to 3 times now.
