American idioms can be confusing for outsiders.
Like how "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" mean the same thing.
Or how "I'm a small government conservative" means "I think government agents should be able to shoot citizens in the street for no reason with total impunity."

My cousin Kathy died today. She struggled with her health her entire life and it was basically the perfect storm the last two months. She was in her mid-50’s and we’re all gutted.

I was in line at CVS with an old white man collecting his social security, his medicare, and his navy pension who said, with his entire face, that Democrats aren't people.
I chose not to call him an entitled fascist pig.
Please admire my strength.

Just finished another module in my data analysis course. It was the How to Spreadsheet module and just. Just. It was SO BASIC. Didn't even explain VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, or SUMIFS.

“An Irish Airman Foresees His Death” (Yeats) but only because I have a haunting musical version with Shane MacGowan reciting the lines in a mad rush at the end.
Lots of Yeats in my head—mostly fragments or single lines.

I had forgotten how bonkers the video is. Also many fine examples of 80s mullets.
“We Built This City” is a good song, actually www.pastemagazine.com/music/starsh... I never understood the hate for that song. There are truly terrible songs. This isn't one of them.

Had a job interview this afternoon. I spent a lot of time prepping. It was a STAR style interview for those of you have worked at large companies and it was a lot. I can only hope that my pride in my prior work helps me. Decision by the end of the week. It does sound like a fun job. I hope I get it.

I have a job interview next week. With the company that sent me a screening questionnaire on Friday.
It's a video interview, so I won't have to wear hard pants, just a nice top and some makeup.
