Note to self: do not throw your hands in the air in celebration less than 36 hours removed from abdominal surgery. No matter how beautiful and timely a Moritz Seidee goal is.

Ow ow ow ow ow.

I feel that, kiddo.

Other random hockey game thoughts: the Wings are playing the Calgary Flames, who have a player with the last name of Frost. And every time his name is called I think of a friend of my sister’s who I once rescued from a lake house bathroom, the door of which they could not unlock from the inside.

Really enjoying this Red Wings game on its own merits, but also enjoying occasionally hearing (faintly) the director’s feed, informing the broadcast team that they’re going to break or whatever.

Out of the hospital now and mostly feeling like I’m recovering from all the inactivity of being in the hospital as much as I’m working on recovering from what had me there.

My stay in the worst hotel continues. Doctor friend came by to say he was here to give me my sponge bath, which I thought was a little cruel not to actually follow up on.

Hanging here for another test and then maybe go home? Which would be nice as I’m almost out of @kbwagers.com books to read.

This hotel room kind of sucks.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Delighted to say that my new book of words is out today, in which I explain how ‘sneeze’ was born from a mistake, that ‘window’ is a Viking leftover meaning ‘eye of the wind’, and that the Finns really do have a word for drinking alone in your underwear.

And this isn’t unique to transit folks. Drivers in Metro Detroit will howl about the state of the roads and how bad they are… and then howl again when major maintenance and reconstruction projects start. Like… you can’t have it both ways. Shitty roads or intrusive maintenance, pick one.
The T is a fucking billion years old in transit system terms. It was designed by people who had never done this before. It has *huge* structural problems that you can't undo. It takes sacrifice.

And the people who howl about "not enough transit" are the first ones to scream when the repairs start.

Messing with scammers, community theatre stage manager edition.

(Yes, this me, no I’m not Olivia, and this is most definitely not a cast member. All of my cast and crew are wonderful and timely people, who I would never talk to like this, even if they did try to blow off a show for a barbecue.)

What is this weirdness with the NHL Draft Lottery? Picking random numbers to mean… what?

Doesn’t help that I’m watching in a bowling alley, thus no sound. But what happened to just pulling a team name from a hat?

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.

Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
