Monday Night Musings
It's just before five o'clock and I'm numb. Imagine going about your business having a great day and then discovering you missed out on a mass shooting by about ten minutes and perhaps a few city blocks.
The rest of this post was written this morning about an hour before the incident occurred, but I chose to leave it as is so you can see how I was doing before all hell broke loose.
WHERE I’VE BEEN
The post office to drop off my ballot. Centrist Republicans and a couple of similarly aligned Democrats got my vote. I voted Oh Hell No on Proposition A, which gives the city the green light to spend even more tax money without accountability.
WHERE I’M GOING
I might stay home this week. I’ve been dealing with sinus issues or a low key head cold all week and I’m still not 100%.
WHAT I’M WATCHING
Padres vs Dodgers. Nothing else matters for the next three nights.
WHAT I’M READING
I conquered the backlog of comics and now I’ll take on newly translated portions of The Hero & The Sage, Reincarnated and Engaged and An Introvert’s Hookup Hiccups: This Gyaru Is Head Over Heels For Me!
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO
“It’s For The Kids” by Anthrax. The thrash metal icons will release their first album in a decade at the end of September and I can’t wait to hear more of their music. If you loved anything from their Spreading The Disease album, it sounds like that but harder.
WHAT I’M EATING
Sauceless andouille sausage pasta with Sangiovese wine is divine. I had that combo for a couple of dinners recently.
WHO DESERVES FIVE SLAPS
Amazon. They shipped a used beard/mustache trimmer missing its charger and the handle was highly likely used as an anal sex toy before it was returned. This was easily the worst (and least hygienic) online shopping experience I’ve ever had, and thankfully a brand new trimmer set arrived at Le Crash Pad the next day.
WHO DESERVES A FIST BUMP
Max Verstappen, for almost winning the Nurburgring 24 hour race. His team retired from the lead with three hours to go due to mechanical failure, and that performance should make Liberty Media panic. His F1 contract is up, and it’s not a given he’ll stay there.
WHAT I’M PLANNING
Once I feel up to it I’ll begin the next round of manuscript edits. I can’t wait to get back to work on it.
WHAT MADE ME SMILE
Urinalists. I discovered this derogatory term for gaming critics after I noticed a giant horde of them gave an Astroturfed “game” 10/10 ratings across the board. Many people, myself included, suspect urinalists were compensated by the game publisher to give high ratings for a subpar product.
My GTA Online character achieved two major milestones this past week. She’s now made $2 billion dollars in overall income and has over $200 million in the bank. If only we could all be like her...
