Many things are going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought a house. Our house rules. It has an awesome twisty curvy staircase and hardwood floors and a basement an an attic. It\u2019s approximately three times the house we need<\/em> and almost more house than we want. Today I mowed the lawn, like a good little domestic homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, our older cat Merlot goes in to have jaw surgery \/ a tooth removed. She\u2019s got a nasty abscess that got \u201cgore\u201d all over redmed<\/a> when she gave the cat her medicine this morning. I\u2019m pretty worried about her (the cat). She\u2019s lost weight and been listless and sleeping in odd places. Also, she\u2019s usually pretty fastidious about keeping her fur neat \u2013 and she\u2019s got some rattiness on her. To the vet with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work is busy as all hell. We\u2019re down a person, and we were ready to hire before he left \u2013 so now we\u2019re slammed. I\u2019m interviewing an average of one person per day \u2013 and the problem is that they\u2019re all<\/em> good. The question is not \u201cwho is qualified,\u201d but \u201cwho do we want on the team first?\u201d Life is tough, I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that bankruptcy is the best choice for failed businesses, and that if you have a better choice for the supreme court then you should name them. If your only objection is that \u201csocialism sucks\u201d or \u201cI hate minorities,\u201d you are welcome to shut up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the \u201cshut up\u201d theme, I have decided that Facebook\u2019s \u201cWhat ______ are you\u201d quizzes are my mortal enemy. Die die die. At least, I want to be able to block them like I block every other application. They are not unique apps, they are instantiations of a common app. Die die die. Perhaps somebody cares what color pony princess you are, but not me. Dear facebook, I will happily pay $5 to not see this crap for a year. Hell, I will pay $10. Who can I pay to make this happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I\u2019m aware that begging to be allowed to pay websites to not suck has a simpler solution.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, happy 9th anniversary redmed<\/a>. It\u2019s been an awesome 3^^2 years. Let\u2019s shoot for another two powers of 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
