There is this cartoon or meme of a skeleton crawling out of their coffin going "and another thing!"

That's me for sure.

Another thing which my friend Eva pointed out: I don't even know if it was a 2 min. or 20 min. seizure; she thinks 20 might be a typo. This seems important to diagnosis and also to my internal story of what happened.

I will try calling or messaging tomorrow about this.

Just wrote an angry little note to the Smithsonian magazine, copying it here for my own records.

Bonheur was a French painter of animals and nature scenes.

"Hollywood" on Netflix is a new limited series by Ryan Murphy and Janet Mock (both are queer). I don't mean to yuck anyone's yum, but this show is a MESS. I was with it for the first episode or two, but it was very rushed at the end, and is the kind of show where I keep thinking about new things that bothered me.

This show is mostly about a group of people in 1947 Hollywood who are trying to make a progressive film, at first called "Peg" but later changed to "Meg." The film is about a struggling actress trying to make it in Hollywood, so there are 3 levels of meta going on here: it's a show about a movie about an actress, which is ambitious, and interesting, but ultimately unsuccessful.

There are some good things going for this show: good actors, older women in powerful roles, queer people, fun 1947 fashion, and people who are trying to help each other out.

Something slightly creepy happened today and I just want to document it. Related to our landlords / property managers.

Social media may be a great boon to communication - and thus to fandom. But the rapidity at which
information spreads can carry the seeds of potential capacity, causing rancorous explosions and hurt feelings (to name a few possible outcomes). Twitterstorms are one such phenomenon - and are, in fact, an
increasingly common problem faced by the fannish community. Two fans braved the storm before last
year’s Worldcon, and helped get such a crisis under control: hear their story.

Holy shit!

Today there was an "April Fool's" post at Locus that was supposedly making fun of WisCon. You can read about it various places. Trigger warning for Islamophobia and general awfulness.

emceeaich: Not Funny, Locus (includes screencap)

Locus Apologies and Takes it down: An apology

The author of the post shows no remorse at all, however, and gripes on his own personal blog about free speech: WisCon's Fail Feminist Fandom Brigrade Gets My Locus Post taken Down (includes transcript)

Also lots of discussion on Twitter.

In case you're wondering who "Belle Gunness" is, she was a serial killer.
Trigger warning for, serial killing? Wiki article about Belle Gunness. Thanks to

kalmn for figuring that one out.

It's funny-- I feel a lot better about the thing that happened on Wednesday, where that guy told me about the size of his dick and whatnot, now that I've seen this:

I do enjoy this meme.

Today I saw these On the rocks drink chillers in a store. Basically you freeze the granite rocks, put them in your scotch, and you won't water down your drink.

It seems like there's a design flaw here. If you tip your glass too far, aiming to savor that last bit of aged, expensive scotch, the stone could slide down the glass and ---crack!--- there goes your tooth.

Trigger warning for discussion of the Penn State child abuse scandal, and people saying dumb ass shit.

I got into a fight on Facebook today! For the 2nd time this week! This one was so heinous I decided to reprint it here! Last names have been removed. Me= Sandy. I expect a defriending from this one.

I am still extremely tired and today I cried for no reason. That was odd. I ate some leftover choco-raspberry cake that lilaia gave me, and that helped.

Mystickeeper said I should blog about my Strange Chain Restaurant experience.

My high school friends wanted to eat at HuHot Mongolian Grill. One funny thing was, we all showed up 10 to 15 minutes early for our dinner date. A Minnesota culture thing? IDK.

The food was OK, and there is a novelty aspect where you choose your own food and they cook it on a big grill in front of you (not food allergy friendly since it gets mixed up with other people's-- shared surfaces).

But I was disturbed by the menu. There is a Mongolian motif of a guy with NO EYES. Fierce eyebrows, a goatee, and helmet. Then the language:

Control your destiny. (Look what it did for Genghis.)

PREPARE FOR BATTLE
Advance to the fresh food bar and commandeer a bowl.

CONTROL YOUR DESTINY
Choose your favorites from a bountiful selection of meats seafood noodles and vegetables

POUR ON THE FLAVOR - The Essential Weapon
Ladle on our Specialty Sauces or express your inner warrior by creating your own unique blend from the ingredients provided. Use 5-6 ladles of sauce.

ADVANCE TO THE GRILL
Watch as your chosen ingredients are cooked before your eyes on our grill of epic proportions!

TAKE BACK THE BOUNTY
Behold your piping hot creation! Return to your table and enjoy.

RELIVE THE CONQUEST
The grill is unlimited, so mix it up again. Remember to leave room for the Final Pillage... dessert.

Antoine said something about how the staff must be carefully trained... because if they are encouraging customers to pillage, what else are they expecting?!!

This is all directly from their website. It's a chain restaurant that you can find in Suburban landscapes.
