Thursday Thoughts - helpless to the bass and the fading light oh we were bound to get together

1. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that jazz.

2. Yesterday was a perfect day to walk to the library - 53 and sunny on January 15? Don't mind if I do. Speaking of books, have you caught up on all the Show Us Your Books posts? Do you know Jana and I are hosting a readathon this weekend? 8 am Saturday to 8 am Sunday? Hashtag suggestions?

3. Adjusting for population size, England and Wales would have 272 to our 53,290. With private prisons and people getting rich off of incarceration and the prison industrial complex, we have been designed for this. How are we okay with this? Why do we think prison is the answer for everything?

4. Yes, Virginia, I did postpone my cavity dentist appointment this week. Let me live. I am going to the chiropractor today and acupuncture tomorrow. Keeping those appointments.

5. Huge thanks to Vincent for helping us out with priming and painting the spare room in the basement (BEHR Cherubic) just in time for my mother in law to return for another visit today.

6. This year's first foray into Girl Scout Cookies, ordered from our VA family!

7.  Nail talk: Essie Bright Cider stayed on forever and I liked the color much more than I thought I would when I bought it or first applied it. This week's nails have a lot to live up to when I paint them tonight.

8. For your consideration: this take on the Warren/Sanders woman president media and supporter made shitstorm and the open Muslim-hating of your president (who is also tweeting doctored images and not walking back from it) - also, remember when the White House and press secretaries used to have daily pressers because they work for the people of America? Also,  Lev Parnas. I can't do anything else this week, I'm tired.

What appears after the hyphen in Thursday Thoughts is a song lyric to whatever I'm listening to when I start to write the post. This week is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon

Thursday Thoughts - the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

1. In this week's episode of Can This Marriage Be Saved, MFD keeps changing the toilet paper so it is dispersing from under instead of over and this simply cannot stand. I am having an internal struggle: do I feel more murderous at this toilet paper direction mutiny or when he simply doesn't replace the roll?

2. Let it be known that I had to go to the dentist on Tuesday and since I star in the life spanning film Fear and Loathing in the Dentist Office I always reward myself with something but since I'm doing no spend I didn't. Also I have to go back next week to get old ass fillings replaced. This is how my appointments appear in my calendar.

3. January, am I right?

4. Bruce says I'm right.

5. The shore house is booking up fast which is always awesome.

6. I really like the actors on The Ranch but the laugh track bothers me. So does the insane amount of drinking or talking about drinking they do.

7. Show Us Your Books is Tuesday. I've been reading a lot, which is standard January fair around here.

8. For your consideration: Be A Lady They Said; How I Ditched My Phone and Unbroke My Brain; help Frank's nephew, a film student at ASU, make a film and if you can't help, follow the film via the links; Christians are supposed to care about people; find an anti-war protest near you (taking place today).

That’ll do it for me. Do you have anything to add?
