* It's looking like Putin's forces have killed a couple hundred people while bombing civilian targets in Syria.

* Someone actually wished me Happy Festivus yesterday! In related news, I have taken to responding to people saying Merry Christmas with Merry Gothmas. (Having never actually seen an episode of Seinfeld, I would feel weird adopting it as a greeting, though I'm considering it.

* My body vetoed the Post Office and bureaucracy. I did have to get hector food and had a dinner engagement with friends. It turns out that the game of what's that smell one of the cats challenged me to last night right before bed was a rather more involved version than previously thought, so instead of doing my lungs I got to play round two and clean up the results. I still ended up arriving late, and I'll be working on fixing it off and on all the rest of this evening. Dinner was fun tough and there was tofurkey, excellent potatoes, gravy, pie, etc.. There were also bourbon balls which I have been longing for 3-4 years now. I have a ball in my mouth right now.
Omnomnom.

* This does a good job of explaining why I’m so angry about Sembene. The thing is, I knew damned well they were going to do the boring, tropey, racist thing, and in something like a minute, I thought of something more interesting they could do instead. But they went for the fridge. Of course they did.
