: I can't wait to hear all the caterwauling when all the dumbasses that voted for Donald and The Alt-White because they stupidly believed he/they "would be better for the economy".

My mom was one of those. She tried to explain it to me in a phone call, and within the first few minutes she seemed to realize how stupid and willfully ignorant she was about it. I wanted to feel bad for her about it, but I couldn't, not an atom of it.

: Happy Birthday to CoSo, and I'd like to say...

: Woke up with a lower back ache, and that's because I have no idea how I slept beyond kinda restlessly. Couldn't get comfy several times overnight. It was dumb and weird.

: Happy Birthday, CoSo.
Happy Birthday, Gippy.

: The it's-not-a-date today was great fun. Yes, I overshared, but I checked and was told it wasn't weird or untoward. Bookstore was fun, and then we visited the mall we'd not been to, either of us, in ~10 years. It was crowded, noisy, but a nifty adventure. Then we hung out and had dinner at her house, after which I ran her to the grocery to pick up a few noms she was out of. Then I drove home. Just past nine hours outing.

Fun day. 👽

: I wonder how much it'll cost if Netflix can't get back up and running in time for the big fight.

: Taylor is a hugger, and she likes to drop way down and then drive her head up into Serrano's body and then go in for hugs and headbutts.

: I'm rooting for Serrano.

: one of my favorite "Weird Al" songs in the history of ever

: I have noticed that a swath of weird fiction is kind of "too clever by half". I mean that the concept is solid and the execution starts out well, but then it goes on too long, tries to draw things out and introduces moments and scenes that don't add anything meaningful, and lose are fair number of readers. Even some of the Masters of Weird Fiction and Weird Horror do it hither and yon.

: I am going on an it's-probably-not-a-date tomorrow. It's going to the bookstore and to get some noms with a woman I've been talking with (socially) for a few weeks. We find one another interesting is all I can say. Anyway, I'm quite chuffed, mostly because I don't really get out much.

: New mattress is unpacked and is going to decompress/inflate(?) for the next 72 hours.

It's my second bed. I got a new, shorter bed frame for it. I don't always want to sleep in my bedroom. So there'll be a spare on the other side of the house, just in case I want to sleep there or on the unlikely AF chance I have company.

: I hate this about horror movies. It's a primary reason my stuff doesn't get picked by film banks to produce. They invariably tell me, "It needs a family angle, and it needs a Strong Female Character to be Final Girl or Heroine and a Flawed Boyfriend/Husband who needs to rise to the occasion and be rescued emotionally." I refuse flatly, every time.
