Those don't strike me as unreasonable.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree L'in, but paying some fat woman who smells of onions to grab my crotch and offer absolutely so actual safety benefit $15 an hour is unreasonable to me.

Every time someone calls L'Incandescent, L'in I can't help but hear the theme from Lancelot Link Secret Chimp.

I'm making a distinction here between the importance of the job in the abstract and the actual abilities of the people who perform it. Also, I have not found TSA agents to be as bad as lots of people describe. That's not to say they're great, but still.

I've been impressed with the security measures in other countries, where they have little interviews with you. I imagine that well trained professionals could glean a lot of information from those.

Space reserved for sober reply sometime tomorrow.

I had to google that. I like Creto.

Also, theme songs used to be so much longer. I actually prefer it that way, but that's probably because I grew up with them that way.

One of my brothers did not come to Thanksgiving: the same one who I've posted about from time to time. Whatever, family is one hell of an asset to throw away in my opinion, perhaps I am being old-fashioned and sentimental....

^^ Based on what you've written before about him, it doesn't sound like he's in a position to judge rationally about that.

I am grading exams on a Friday night for a class that I'm covering for a faculty member who's on medical leave and for which I am being paid very little. At least I can listen to music while I do it. And at least the music is not "Naypa know hay-ow, Naypa know hay-ow!" (It is Stockhausen's Opus 1970 for all who are keen to know.)

Q: Do you know anyone who is so stupid that he doesn't even know how to blink correctly, so that his contacts always get dry very quickly after he puts them in? Someone who has blinked incorrectly for at least twenty years, and who still has not learned to do it correctly?
A: Yes, I do know such a person. On the Internet he is of L'Incandescent.

I have tonsillitis. My throat is so swollen that I can barely take pills, and I have a big gig tomorrow night that I probably won't be better in time for. What a nightmare.

I cannot stand being eyefucked

A while back, the pressure in my apartment dropped. It used to be very good (and worked wonders combined with my speakman head with the flow restrictor removed)....

I don't know what happened and my building maintenance guy didn't say there were any changes to the building or anything. He said he would have to have the "water pressure guy" come out but I have not followed up with him.

Now I can't tell if the pressure has actually gradually come back or if I have just gotten used to it. It isn't terrible and I no longer have the memory of a baseline....but I feel that it is still lacking.
