Quarantine - Bonaparte

Going to start posting a random song of the day. 

Sometimes it'll be a song you've heard plenty of times before, sometimes it will be something you've not heard in a long time, sometimes it might be something you've never heard of. 

Some songs may have some significance on the day I post it (like today's) , but most often it will simply be a randomly picked song that I feel like sharing.

Today's song is "Quarantine" by Bonaparte. (Today happens to be exactly 8 months since I started working from home)

 

Enjoy!

Trump Loses!

 It was WAY too close for comfort, but ultimately, he was defeated. 

Buckle in kids, this is gonna be a long post explaining all the work that went into taking down the Orange Menace.

and the vision planted in my brain

 if it had been up to me, when the crowd started booing during what was supposed to have been a moment of silence, I would have reset the clock. 

Each time.

Until they shut the hell up for the minimum amount of time required to pay some freaking respect.  I wouldn't have thought 20 seconds would be too much to ask, but, I guess this is America.

And, yeah, having them actually *be* silent for the moment of silence wouldn't have changed their viewpoint at all - they'd still be ignorant dbags, of course - but it would have made me feel better.

It would be an interesting experiment if nothing else. To see how long they'd go on voicing their oh so important opinions about their displeasure of.. common decency? Sigh. 

I don't know. I'm just tired of people being fuckwads. (Which pretty much sums up 2020.)

just testing

 Do I remember how to do this? Sort of, sure. Real blog post coming...soon? Maybe? Who knows!

or give me death

I think we can all agree that Liberty Mutual has the dumbest jingle in the history of jingles.

(It's catchy though, gotta give them that.)

We can all use some good news for a change.

Fortunately, I have a piece of really EXCELLENT news!

A new Paper Mario game comes out on July 17th!

look before you

Kinda crazy that we've got another Leap Day upon us tomorrow. And that means it  was EIGHT years ago that we were in the accident with the dude that backed his truck into our van (because he missed his turn, and throwing your truck into reverse while on a busy road makes TOTAL SENSE. Sigh.)

I was thinking that it would be kind of neat if we didn't have Leap Days, just to see how long it would take for the seasons to be out of "alignment" with the calendar. (I mean, eventually they would line up again, right? So... really, what's the big deal? And, if Christmas happened to fall in the middle of 130 degree weather... would that really be such a bad thing?) Oh well.

and I approve this message

Thoughts on the barrage of political ads. Based solely on how inept they've been and/or how much of a headache they've caused me at work.

not really (but kinda?)

It feels like it's been January all year long.

I of course, had to get my obligatory saying of that out of the way, but, honestly, January has sort of flown by this time around, rather than dragging it's feet.
February is going to zip by, too, I guarantee it, even with it's extra day.
Time is all sorts of jacked up lately, is my point. And I don't see it getting straightened out anytime (heh) soon.

the 2020 reading challenge

As stated a few posts ago (last year, ha ha), I'm partaking in the Goodreads Across The Year challenge this year, in order to help me read a wider variety of books.

Here's the prompt list:
