So yes, the city electorate voted it down again, and by very large margins. 20% is nothing to sneeze at. I’m not particularly interested in having a science argument about it. It makes my head hurt trying to read through, and I’ve done enough of it . The established health & medical authorities, whom I generally trust on publishing studies and such, are generally in favor of it....

Here’s what happened: I got shifted back to overnights and left no time to write anything for myself, including here. So I’ll work on fixing that. But for now, everything else not-work-related feels all right. It is a profound sort of odd to go attend the going away party of your ex with your current SO’s blessing and apology for being unable to make it, but this is at least...

Don't even care.
Got home from work, my mom called. Asked how I was doing, told her I didn’t give much of a fuck outside of my friends and girlfriend. Everything else felt like bullshit. “That’s what happens when you have things you really care about in your life; you have less time for the stuff you once cared about because it was all you had.” I understand why people gripe about work...

…go to YouTube and re-watch Stephen Colbert tearing the whole thing apart. I still think it’s amazing that the WCHD continues to be held after he made everyone in that room look foolish. It’s chummy, D.C. village stuff, and it’s an abdication of the press’s duty.

samsplace replied to your chat: divine punishment. You keed, but it does. If you have it going on life will try to fuck you. Don’t let that happen. Fight for what you love. Thanks. I’m under no illusions. Let’s put it this way: there are recent developments at the company that have me feeling as if the world is trying to make my future course of action very obvious. So if the world...

divine punishment.
editor: Who did you piss off to be sent back to overnights?
me: God.
editor: (laughs)
me: I'm in a long-term relationship for the first time in years. Me being happy in all facets of life upsets the forces of nature.

jmp0 replied to your photo: Rip City, y’all. #Blazers #RipCity (at Rose Garden… That did not go well. Usually the Blazers put up more of an effort but it’s an inexperienced team with a bad bench.

samsplace replied to your photo: I have a weakness for shoes. I also have very flat… Love the brown ones. Wing tips, or brogues or some variation? Either way they look great. And you got to go shoe shopping with your Mom. Appreciate that. Wing tip style but they have a stitching that looks more like cowboy boots.

ndeddiemac replied to your post: my partner suggested we go see Road House in the theater for our six-month anniversary date tomorrow night. MARRY HER I think this is the second “wife that” moment I’ve had in six months together.
