Oct. 24th, 2023 09:20 pm1. Well, I'm wrong. A convicted felon can run and become President of the United States.
Damn.
We need to amend the Constitution again. You can't run if you are over the age of 70. Have committed a felony. Committed Treason. Convicted of Fraud.
And are a real estate developer, or work in the field of real estate, banking, television, or film. Also, you have to pass a critical thinking exam and be able to speak more than one language.
2. I'm ignoring what is happening in the Middle East. I can't do anything about it, so why should I pay attention to it? I have opinions, but they aren't worth sharing, and since it doesn't directly affect me - I shouldn't share them.
My brother's friend's friends are most likely doomed. We don't know. Bro doesn't know.
Mother felt the need to check the situation constantly on the news - while I was visiting. So, alas, I know more than I want to. Mother is a news junkie - she tapes the PBS News Hour, ABC National News, and checks CNN (also FOX - to better understand her crazy-ass conservative Republican pals mindset). I was raised by my parents to get along with conservative Republicans (mainly by not talking to them about politics or anything remotely political and I don't, otherwise I would not have survived Kansas or even Colorado Springs for that matter, let alone various insane work environments.)
3. Niece didn't get the job in New Mexico, but is kind of relieved. It's bit too old for her - and at 19, she's not quite ready for that level of responsibility yet. She's excited about the ski-lift job at Mount Hood. She's staying in the hotel from the Shining, apparently. It's in Oregon.
After camping out of her car in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, she drove back to California and is staying with a friend of her mother's in LA. She'll leave her car at her mother's friend's house, and fly home for about a week or two in November. Then fly back out to drive up to Oregon. Mother is thinking bro and sisinlaw may fly out to Oregon to spend Christmas out there with their daughter.
[I'm spending it here (work is insane - I can't get it off) - it will be my first Christmas in NYC since the pandemic. I'm thinking of dragging Wales to the Christmas Tree in Rockerfeller Center, and going ice skating. Mother says I should go see the Rockettes - except I don't like the Rockettes. I'm hoping for a White Christmas. Oh, well maybe I'll go to Hawaii or somewhere in February.]
4. Workplace conversations.

5. Almost finished with Slayers: A Buffyverse Story - and, well, it's better than I expected. ( Read more... )

Off to bed. Super didn't install new fire alarm, which I'm okay with. Although if I die in a fire - you know who to blame. ;-)
Leaving with a picture from Hilton Head, at sunset...
