I’ll never meet people like Ashley again. I’ll meet people who are left wing, who like jazz and stories about time travel and alternate realities. And I'll meet people who can barely hide their contempt for me.
This is probably a good thing. To say I hate her is to oversimplify a complicated situation. Yes, she's neurotic and fragile and she's been a thorn in my side for months, and I'll never get any sort of closure, but, hey, the world is a slightly place with her in it. I hope she's happy, wherever she is. Everyone deserves a happy ending. Even Ashley.
Okay, maybe not Laci Green. Laci Green is threatening to sue and people are recommending she join up with Peter Thiel because Vox (an unfortunate name. Yes, I know it's Latin for voice, so don't bother pointing it out) called her alt-right adjacent.
I once said that I'll post photos of my sketchbook when Ashley is nice to me or when Robert Mugabe died. Right now, the sunlight is too feeble.
Sometimes it's hard to be optimistic.
With or without Ashley, the world continues to be fucked up. Trump is likely to get a third Supreme Court nominee handpicked by the Federalist Society. Burma's still persecuting Rohingya.
In Sudan, I’m hearing about police firing on protestors and the military firing on those police, or other police throwing down their uniforms in solidarity.
I said once Sudan's main advantage they have over Syria is the fact that Sudan has fought an actual war. But on the other hand, Omar Bashir is wanted by the ICC* and getting on that list is no easy task. There is not a single Asian wanted by the ICC, nor are there Yugoslavians** or Russians. Which means he doesn't have Syria's advantage of Iran and Russia flying in to save the day. And maybe the only other government that could fall is Algeria.
*Relocating their detention centre to South Georgia couldn't hurt.
**Maybe the fact that there was a seperate tribunal for Yugoslav war criminals means something.
I think yesterday was the longest time a cat has been friendly to me.
There’s a Jingle All The Way 2. It’s just like the first one, except a lot worse.
Michael says the lamp murders the I and looks at the audience as if to say "you're next."
Emily says that when she dies, she's getting cremated so she doesn't have to worry about coins in her eyes or getting them sown shut for the funeral.
Instead, we watched Home Alone. Michael and Emily thought that Angels With Dirty Faces was a real, if obscure, movie.
Emily says it's loud because there are two people of the sign of the Gigas, and she says that it takes hours to get warm but seconds to become cold when someone opens the door.
I’m shocked that there are English signs in the Paris airport. That might be true in real life, but still, I’m shocked. This is France, a country that banned the teaching of Breton and Occitan until the 1950s, wouldn’t allow a broadcast of Breton until 1964, had a president declare that there was no place for minority languages, and didn’t officially recognize them until 2008.

Samantha says that ballet dancers have terrible singing voices because the way they breathe is different.
burning question:did Kevin McAllister steal those mannequins from a store? (Emily asked this. Or did his family just have a bunch of them lying around in the basement? Someone who livestreamed Home Alone said they’re just lying around in their basement. We started watching around the time he went out the door on a toboggan). Why would they have a bunch of mannequins lying around? Also, why did his mind go to “I made my family disappear” and not “Aaaaaaa, my family went to Paris without me!”? He knew they were going on vacation.
