there's been talk of the ndp changing their name. i've got a great idea: the new conservative party.

....but c is always bad news in any acronym, due to the existence of the word clown. and they have to win before they can start removing things from the dictionary. foiled...

she can't run the ndp. she's pro-life. it's a non-starter. i've been over this. she'll never win the nomination, she'll just create a movement against her.

this is actually a really good record.

"if you hate america so much, why don't you leave?"

this guy took 'em up on it and went backpacking through asia. landed in borneo, and hitchhiked to turkey. he wrote a concept record about it...

you may remember him from the band cop shoot cop, which showed up at the tail end of the no wave moment. or maybe not. it's more of a psychedelic pop record, with a big world music feel. well, he was backpacking through asia...

it was always intended to be a way to get people back and forth from the hockey arena, and little else.

j reacts to trump's likely reaction to his wife's immigration status being a liability

if donald trump thinks his wife is a liability, he'll just get a new wife.

i'm not really trying to draw a contrast or pass a judgement. i'm just saying.

"get her out of here!"

16-08-2016: day blown due to blown breaker (possible sabotage...)

fuse situation less urgent (still would be nice to fix soon...)

hi.

it turns out the outlets around the stove are on the stove breaker. so, i dragged the fridge across the kitchen and also moved the internet into the kitchen. i guess i'll want to avoid making eggs until it's back up. but, that means that the immediate concern is not pressing and i can wait it out. although, i mean....it's out everywhere except those two outlets around the stove. it's not a good situation. it's just not urgent anymore.

i'm assuming it''s the fuse. i don't know, really. i know i heard something pop when the microwave was at 0:01, and then everything was out.

i think i blew a fuse down here this evening. around 7ish. i thought i was done for the night. but, it turns out that the breaker around the stove is still up. i only have one way on to the internet down here...

i could live for a few hours without the internet. i mean, i've chosen not to. but i'd be ok. i'm more relived by getting the fridge plugged back in (by dragging it across the kitchen...).

that just means that i'm that much further behind. but it's a minor annoyance, really, in the bigger scheme.

i'm hoping to get most of the sansa listening done tonight, so i can finish it up tomorrow.
