Sometimes I feel almost "too informed" because of this place. I seem to know things at least 3-6 hours before everyone else catches on.
So by the time my FB feed is all over it, we here at GBCN have already discussed it, argued about it, and moved on to gifs.
DH is actually a bit irritated by it lately because every time he asks me "did you hear?" I disappoint him. I'm gonna have to start playing dumb.
My husband hears like 1/8th of the story and gives no fucks about hearing the rest and it annoys the absolute piss out of me. Like why do you even want to talk about it if you don't want the whole story? LEAVE ME ALONE!
So we really don't talk about anything of value anymore. Which is a bummer but I don't want to go to jail either.
Did anyone watch the Nightly Show last night? The topic was issues facing black women in America. I thought it was pretty good. I recommend it.
During the keep it 100 segment he asked Issa Rae if she would rather be described as sassy or articulate and that would be what she would be known as forever. She visibly flinched at sassy.
Sounds interesting. I am not sure if I follow the sassy vs articulate one. Is that really a question?

It's not a real-real question. During the keep it 100 segment Larry gives you a ridic scenario and you have to decide what you would do in on the incredibly off chance you'd be faced with it. She made a comment about how she disliked being called articulate earlier which I'm sure is why she was given that question.
Another woman (I forget her name) was given the scenario where she and one other dude were going to rebuild society. Her choices of dude were something like a) an intelligent, but overweight black man b) a really fit white dude who was dim or c) a Latino dude who spoke no English but could build anything.
Because of the 2 above I am super emotional right now. I cried all day yesterday. I need to go to ballet class today. Instead I want to mope. Ballet would be better.
A good thing though, despite all this I am still eating healthy. Only on day 3, but I'm proud. Normally I would be consuming cupcakes and donuts.
Wooo! Good job!
Ballet! Ballet! Ballet! Unless you can switch it out with kickboxing and envision every kick as directed at your exH's groin and face.

My DH does this all the time. He'll read the headline and say "oh hey! We don't need to worry about cholesterol any more!" Um, did you actually read the story?

Despite our Arctic weather, my Spring allergies have arrived right on schedule. My eyeballs are irritated and dry and my eyesight is shot to hell.
On a positive note, St. Patrick's season (yes, I said season, because that's how we roll) has begun in our house. Last night's dinner entertainment was Dropkick Murphys. Coming up: Shamrock Shakes and green sugar cookies.
March is two days away, which means Spring is coming, and this puts me in the best of moods.
So I can wear my shamrock earrings to work now, yes?
I'm trying to decide whether I'm mad that you haven't already worn them.

I'm finally feeling human. But now that I feel good enough to do stuff, I want that stuff to be sitting the same chair I've sat in for the last week, but stitching and/or reading instead of just feeling crappy. But I should spend the weekend catching up on house cleaning.

It's huge but I don't care and I'm about to start a new thread if someone doesn't beat me to it but Spock died.
I can't, yo. I'm going to cry, like right here, for serious, no hyperbole. I'm going to cry over Spock. I don't even want to go to work, which is hilarious and hypocritical given I was just mocking some chick for trying to call out because her boyfriend broke up with her.

Today sucks yo. Spock AND my brother's dog - which he got when I lived with him and was totally my buddy and got treated like shit after I left (and while I was there honestly...I just wasn't around enough) just died. He was about 14 years old. so decent doggy life, but for his breed-type (assorted sled dog wolf looking mutt) was not that long. Poor buddy.

I think I just figured out that I'm not getting a bonus and I'm going to flip my shit at my boss. He rated me low on a couple things on my review, I think (I say this because I haven't actually seen the written review or numbers) and they weren't things I could control. I'm so pissed right now.

I was wrong yesterday. The first day of a cold/sick isn't always the worst. Today is much, much worse. Luckily Fridays are my short days, and perhaps my boss will take pity on me and send me home.
I woke up at my dad's this morning to find his 80-something neighbor shoveled the driveway so my pregnant ass wouldn't have to. I feel guilty, but man am I happy I didn't have to shovel.
ALSO I finished up the Hammered trilogy. pixy0stix I know how to save the world. We need just need access to some alien nanotechnology and a moral artificial intelligence.
Is it good? I'm doing a book challenge and one category is a trilogy and I'm at a loss.
Book challenge? I like the sound if this. Details?
Have you read the Laini Taylor Daughter of Smoke & Bone... books? I don't get into sci-fi or younger books at all, but these were really good and it's a trilogy.
I need a biopsy and it was scheduled for yesterday. They had to reschedule me for next week and it really is stressing me out. I was doing ok until they had to reschedule.
My BFF informed me last night that my soon to be exH messaged her sister on POF. It shouldn't be a big deal, but he still tells me every day that he is different now, and he loves me and wants us to be together. I looked up his profile and he has all these pictures up with his shirt off. He is so gross. Why does it still hurt though? I feel like I could never trust anyone ever again.
Because of the 2 above I am super emotional right now. I cried all day yesterday. I need to go to ballet class today. Instead I want to mope. Ballet would be better.
A good thing though, despite all this I am still eating healthy. Only on day 3, but I'm proud. Normally I would be consuming cupcakes and donuts.
I am so sorry. Even when you know you're better off...still painful, I'm sure. Prayers for the biopsy that it turns out to be nothing.
Omg I'm so pissed!!!! I FINALLY gott the baby down for her nap and laid down myself (because I am NOT getting sick! I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!). Motherfucker knocked on my door not once but THREE times, setting the dogs off and waking the baby! I seriously want to cry. I was pretty rude to him, too.
