Family nightmare for the last few weeks. Fuck.

Bourbon numbs it a bit.

The music in this song is superb--it turns a somewhat petty list of complaints into a soaring statement of artistic independence.

Whoah
Have we done something wrong?
Whoah
Complete control--even over this song

Happy New Years to you all. Thanks for listening to my repetitive crap.

So I had a bit more bourbon. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

Fuck. As happens so often, a person I wish I’d never met is severely fucking with my soul/psyche/emotions.

I had some whiskey; trying to decide if I shoiuld have some more. It's New Year's Eve, but I don't feel that much like celebrating. Plus it's only 10:36. Kids are up with me; wife went to bed. I hope she's asleep--she needs the rest, badly. Should I have more whiskey? I hope to god that 2020 is a fu...

Been a horrible few weeks. I haven’t had a drink in a while, so I had some bourbon. I don't think it’s helping.

So we've seen Army cadets and Navy midshipmen flash white power signs on national TV. Now a U.S. army unit put up a picture--with a positive caption*--of a war criminal Waffen SS officer ion its Facebook page to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge--a guy who slaughtered US POWs during that very same...

In this case, for example, a lot of soldiers were being sen...

This song just popped into my head out of nowhere.

We've been watching "Dublin Murders." I've read 3 of the books, and they're fantastic. The show is good, too, although some of the changes from the book seem a bit questionable to me.

Nine years out of date, but still the best "I'm getting old" song.

It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. So thanks to you guys—you help me keep what’s left of my sanity.

Great song!

On my way to save the world

Kind of hanging on by my fingertips this morning. So I'm doing the bare minimum at work. Which means that I suck more than normal, which exacerbates my mood.

IOverall I would have to say it's worth it if it fixes certain problems, but if it does then how do you get off of it again? Do you just wait for a period of time when it's okay if you suck and feel like s*** and take the medicine back down to zero again? No idea. That's mostly good news, which is ...

One of my students asked me (jokingly) if there was a dead animal inside a box one of the other students was carrying. I of course used this as an opportunity to explain Schrodinger's Cat. I probably explained it very badly, but I had to try.
