Who was Jack? Why didn’t he evacuate the building long before getting a phone call to do so? Why didn’t he *ever* evacuate the building himself? If Bruce had the resources to get himself into Metropolis in the middle of an alien battle, did he have a responsibility to use those resources to assist? See […]
So I saw ‘Batman vs Superman: This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’ this weekend. And you know what I would have liked to see? The Wonder Woman cut of this movie. Two hours and 33 minutes of Diana Prince doing whatever it was she was doing the whole time. A travel montage — […]
Is anyone else weirded out by those ‘OXO: Tested on Humans’ radio ads? Look at all those peelers, graters, and mashers — tested on humans! Yikes. Maybe it’s the Hannibal fandom that gives all comments like that a horribly creepy connotation. (There is a sign at work that says ‘Friends and Coffee: the perfect combination,’ […]
Monday: “cat wants to sit in my lap in the bathroom” (it turns out all the articles about this essentially say we have no idea why cats are the way they are) Tuesday: “why the results delay on March 22 primaries” (yeah, so there’s that) Wednesday: “what color is leia’s lightsaber” (quick answer is she’s […]

A cleaning service. That’s me. *I’m* […]

Pike could have done his whole ‘we’re taking the Enterprise away from you’ speech, but it would turn out later that it […]
It’s survey time at work! Several times a year, we send out a survey asking how we’re doing. I’m not entirely sure why, as the answers are always basically the same — numerous variations on “fine,” and then some variation of the following “suggestions” for improvement: 1. when I call with a problem that’s my […]
Over the weekend, I decided it was time to tackle two pesky and simple projects that I’ve been meaning to get to. First: replace a burned out lightbulb in one of the kitchen lights. Second: it took me forever to realize that one of my shower curtain rings was only looped through the inside liner […]
