When you're a creature of habit and there is a disturbance in the force, stress levels are up there. Perpetual shooting muscle pain in my neck helping a headache that I woke up with and has survived 2 Excedrin along with a rainy day doesn't help. I should have taken the whole week off. 2 days didn't seem like too much to work, but now it doesn't seem like it would have been too much to take off, either (already took 24th off and work from home on Fridays).

@th3j35t3r if Newsweek doesn't do this article, do people still pick up on this? I only ask because I wouldn't have known...

@th3j35t3r so is it heading to Ramstein, Mildenhall or...more towards Moscow?

If there is one thing that puts Thanksgiving over Christmas (there is more than one thing), it's that for some, the day you look forward to is the last day off.

@Badface it takes place at Christmas and is about a man trying to save his marriage.

Also, his wife's name is Holly. Fa.
La. La. La. La.

@Render If not for that, I would have been without my Digdug!

@th3j35t3r "should we update twitter with info?"

"nope, govt shutdown prohibits it. now help me pack up these laptops for evacuation"

@Render better question: why do the Senators in disagreement still get paid, yet members of the active duty military still have to work (and in this shut down's case, you'll likely have mission essential personnel working for free Christmas day)?

When your vacation includes catching up on DC tv, Sabrina, and Punisher, while also finding time for video games....not so bad. Enjoy the holidays everyone!

@th3j35t3r ....that Sniper franchise, given it's mechanical flaws (some movements a tad blocky) is pretty fantastic. How they've gotten to 4, I have no idea, but it remains in my queue.

In other news, you should come to the Sony side of things. Better games over here.

@ParanoidAndroid I think the price tag is why this is making headlines. I wrestled with this whole thing because if someone gets tackled and suffers a broken arm, it's business as usual.

Attempted murder of a cop just amplifies the story. Someone in govt was dreading this week from the beginning, knowing all of this would be public.

So local news is doing a story about a guy with gang affiliations who, as a passenger during a traffic stop, pulled a gun on and shot at police. Police shot back and he was put in custody. HOWEVER, his hospital bill for injuries sustained during arrest (bullet wounds) is now being charged to tax payers. The bill was already negotiated in half to 1/4 mill.

To have to pay for the hospital bill of a gang member in custody who shot at police. Is that weird?

I can't be the only one browsing Netflix at someone else's house and judging them and their recommendeds based "because you watched"...

Mets get Ramos...2yr/19 mil. Mets setting up to provide me extra anxiety next September. I'M IN.

Every episode of Lethal Weapon just makes me want a new Major Payne movie.

Scraped the bottom of the Hulu movie barrel with Daddy's Home 2 tonight.

I still maintain that Will Ferrell hasn't been funny since Celebrity Jeopardy.

@th3j35t3r wasn't his clearance revoked?

I could watch the video of Mamoa and company doing the Haka at the Aquaman premiere on loop until my eyes fall out. Love those islander war dances.

So Familia is back with the Mets. I was overjoyed when we traded him to Oakland last year. I didn't find him to be a consistent closer and thought he lacked intensity in losses, saying things like "I know I did the best I could, so I don't have a problem with any of it".

But now he's back...as a set up man for Diaz...with hopefully a better offense. With any luck, my developed dislike was simply a casualty of a poor line up and poor bullpen positioning.

@th3j35t3r trying to share link from Chrome (specifically, linked clicked in Twitter app) thru Tusky on Android and it keeps erroring out (BUT saving as draft). Known issue?
