Lovely stuff.

Man what's wrong with rich people. This is the ugliest house I've seen in my life. All that glare is giving me a headache. Wouldn't even want to step in there, much less live there. Tops it off with the dumbass meme license plates.

I wonder how much cocaine one would need to do before one thought "Hey this place is pretty cool?"

All of it I guess....

The nouveau riche have been rightfully derided for millenia. Chavs with money are still chavs. The American dream is a sickness.

Hahaha, do you remember the chav-towns website??? They were good times : )

Today I learned that Mahomes guy and Kelce play on the same team, and yesterday I had to fire-off a couple of neutrons trying to suss out if it was Super Bowl Sunday. I feel more stupid about the Super Bowl confusion.

I just got over some sort of virus a couple of weeks ago and am now dealing with an extremely raw throat w slight fever. gotta head to the pharmacy because I've depleted all OTC remedies. I don't want to go outside but my throat is on fire.

Found and listened to an old reel-to-reel tape (1972?) of my Dad’s first band Noisy Majority rehearsing.. playing goodies like “Happiness” from You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, “One Tin Soldier”, and.. “Froggy Went a Courtin’’” (unfortunately NOT the Pecos Pest version).

Had to message my Mom to hear the backstory.. I had never knew of this first band of his.

Cuh-Cuh-Cuh-Cuh-Cuh-Cramble. Tom and Jerry was my favorite as a kid.

When thinking about how I would handle being placed in some other time period the main difficulty is not lack of amenities, I think you can adjust to that very quickly. Rather it's random small details of everyday life. Like the Romans sharing a butt-wiping sponge in public lavatories. Just plain gnarly. I could never get used to that.

I guess I could just decide not to go while I'm outside. I'm sure there were a few people like that, whom the rest thought very silly. Maybe I would find a few people like that, hopefully including an engineer or an architect, and together we would revolutionize Roman toilet-going.
