I have no idea why I got so punchy just then. Things are going fine and my mom is even coming home from the hospital today! Three days of knee replacement (her second) and they say it looks like someone with six weeks’ progress.
The morning after the surgery, she texts me that she’s painted her nails and put on a full face of makeup. “I think I’m scaring the nurses because I’m so much further along than most patients.” She sent me this at 4:39 am.
Never forget

Still playing Japanese romance games. So many of them remind me of that episode of The Simpsons where they did Lord of the Flies, and in the last 10 seconds, a narrator says in beneficent tones, “And then someone came to rescue them. Let’s say it was... Moe”
“And then someone cured Shingen’s tuberculosis. Let’s say it was... Moe”
Last night I finished a route in Midnight Cinderella and the king I didn’t want to marry said, “Listen, I am making an executive decision: I am faking your death and both our countries, everyone you know, will grieve you. And then you’ll be free!” All my choices were, “OKAY!”

omg it’s September 1! [SPOOKY PUMPKIN DANCE]
Halloween as a holiday, even commercialized, only wants you to be happy. It wants you to express yourself, if you wish, with a doofy costume of literally anything. Doesn’t have to be ~spooky. I wear a pair of $3 bat earrings and Halloween is happy for me.
Yes, Halloween DOES encourage you to spend relatively small amounts of money on grotesque amounts of candy. It does not ask you to cook for umpteen people. It does not ask you to try, and possibly fail, to roast a turkey. It does not ask you to cope with relatives you dread.

For some reason I’ve seen a number of replies lately to people’s “assholes are shitty to me because (my identity/activities/interests) and that sucks,” to the effect of “only YOU can allow other people to make you feel bad. BE STRONG! STOP CARING WHAT THEY SAY!” and: wtf?
“I myself manage not to care what people say! I live my life the way I want to! Conveniently, people are not being shitty to me for the same reason they are to you, and yet I’m running my mouth anyway because I think that helps somehow!”
Or, have you considered: other people could just... not be assholes? Maybe the responsibility should be on them to be civil/empathetic/mind-their-own-businessing and just... not?

Today, three days before Christmas and with everyone going off into the holidays, @DHSCgovuk published "EU Exit Operational Readiness Guidance: Actions the health and care system in England should take to prepare for a 'no deal' scenario." And that makes for quite a read ... 1/
I suppose we should be grateful that the government recognises this .... 🤯 2/
And then I guess we should be pleased that NHS staff will be directed to make us all feel ok even if there are no medicines .... 🤯 3/

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

I'm a few pages into the IG report and I just can't get over the thought that there's no reason there ever should've been an investigation into Hillary's e-mails in the first place. The FBI was just trying to satisfy the Republicans.
"....we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead... was free from bias." One was a thing, the other was not a thing. He picked the thing over the not thing. That's not bias.
This was my first major blog post on my current blog. It analyzed the initial FBI report on Clinton and it was pretty clear to me (and the FBI in the end) that she didn't do much, if anything, wrong. thegreatconsolidation.com/2016/09/not-wh…
