Spent the afternoon removing the hardware and sanding down my new secretary cabinet. I'm planning on painting it black, adding black and gold bamboo pulls, and attempting some chinoiserie painting on it. We'll see how this goes.

Today's MetOpera broadcast on WFMT involves 2 one-act operas I've never heard before. A Maurice Ravel opera I'm liking a lot, paired with a Francis Poulenc opera I've never heard either. It's also the 100th anniversary of the Ravel opera's premiere, thus the airing.

I've got an old school stereo, from 1997, that still works great. I hardly ever use it though as everything is streaming. Today I bought a Bluetooth attachment for my old stereo and I think it's going to help me kick/reduce my addiction to TV and MSNBC specifically.

Musk, Trump, et al. want the government to consist of only the Military, Immigration Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection. This will free funds for the construction of "the wall" and of the camps. Keep this in mind while the slashing and burning continues.
