D'Oh!

Found the missing car keys - on the back window of that very car. 

An Argument in Class

In my law seminar the professor helpfully compared Republicans to Joe McCarthy and the Salem Witch trial accusers. A bevy of liberal classmates jumped on that train, with one even bragging about her father literally urinating on McCarthy's grave. IDC what politician you are, I can't conceive of pissing on your grave. Disrespectful and boorish. So I opened my mouth, and for the next forty minutes it was heated and uncomfortable. As I got into the elevator afterwards a classmate said "Dude, that was AWESOME!" but it didn't feel "awesome" - it felt like every conservative paranoid fantasy about the liberal academia presented itself at my front door. Ugh, that class SUCKS.

Willie McCovey

RIP to the great Giants slugger. As he was a little before my time I know his name best because of McCovey Cove, the water outside of the Giant's park that became home to many of Barry Bonds' home runs. 

This is Great

Good for the Bucks. OTOH the law school perimeter is littered with bird corpses, and it's new enough and expensive enough that the design should have addressed the issue.

The Happytime Murders

I went to see this with Yaya at the Showtime cinema. Rarely have I seen a worse film outside of a Mystery Science Theater episode. Just a questionable use of resources, both for the filmmaker and the viewer. 

The New Porch Light

It took me 3x as long today as it should have, but in the end it got done. Ladies and gents, our new porch light.

Irresponsible

WISN 12 started the 10 o'clock news by saying there was a missing and endangered girl, a situation complicated by a problem with the state's Amber Alert system . . . And then promptly cut to Packers coverage.  Then Brewers coverage.  Oh, and THEN the endangered girl.  SMFH. #GetYourPrioritiesRight

Jim Taylor

RIP to the Packers great, a fullback who held the team rushing record for an amazing 43 years. 

Headboard up for grabs

I need to get rid of a 3 piece queen size headboard asap. Its brown tufted leather, no hardware as it attaches to the wall. Disclaimer: attaching the three pieces so they are level requires some patience and finesse. If you or someone you know needs a beautiful headboard... let me know. We are only replacing because we were gifted another one that fits our decor more.  - Lisa

SMH

The BBC just ran an article urging British citizens to stop drinking their own urine. Ladies and Gentlemen, the former rulers of the world.

The 13th Doctor

RE: the new Doctor Who. I watched the premiere. Jodie was fine, a bit of an over-actor, but nothing to bash (or praise) there on the basis of  one episode. I liked that they made the  gender change a non-issue so far, treating it like par for the course rather than some SJW  "win." I hope that continues. The story was fine, and I'm glad they didn't trot out any of the tired old baddies, but yo, that wasn't Who. In tone, in cinematography, in deaths,  in the lack of titles, music, and a Tardis, it felt more Torchwood or one of the other spinoffs than proper Who. A new era, a new showrunner at the helm, and apparently a bigger budget - yeah, I get all that - but still. Anyway, I'd grade it a B.

Class of 1988

Class of '88, thirty years on

She's a Panther!!

Guess who just got accepted into UWM? #WhooHoo #ProudParents #3rdGenPanther

The FEMA Test

Me, after the FEMA Test

And legitimate kudos to #NBCNightlyNews, who reported objectively on the record employment levels in the US (a 49 year unemployment low), and the booming economy. I didn't think the MSM had it in 'em.

Buh Bye Cubbies

Aaaaaand just like that,  the Cubs vanish from the postseason.  LoL the Brewers f'ed their world up good,  and Colorado sealed their fate. #LoveIt

Say Goodbye to the Ignitor

The Twins have fired their manager, Brewers legend Paul Molitor
