i feel like nothing has happened in the last week but i think that's just because it's quiet at work, and my sister and i went to new york on sunday for a couple days and had the pleasure of ignoring all the news. but things did happen! cheetolini was indicted on thirty-seven felony counts, in federal court, all related to the boxes of classified ( Read more... )

today i worked from home and got NOTHING DONE. NOTHING, I SAY. well, i submitted some expenses, that was something. but mostly i was made of slack. and then i went for a walk - the upstairs neighbor was coming home as i was leaving so we both stopped for a chat and she told me she thinks her apartment is haunted - and got a bubble tea (taro ( Read more... )
