The other night one of our cats managed to knock our tv off the shelf. It's partially my fault. I came up with a makeshift shelf so the tv could be angled towards more of the room. I was crashed out on the sofa so I was right there. Heard a big WHACK and was like Fuuuuuck. Turned it on the next morning and it was fucked up. So I went out and bought a new one yesterday. Couldn't get the one I wanted so I took the sales guy recommendation and bought an Insignia. Good tv. Didn't realize it was Amazon related. Had to go through the Preferences and turn off all of it's data-collecting abilities. Not that I was that worried about it. We're already being tracked in so many ways. But one cool feature is after you get past the broadcast channels it switches right over to PlutoTV so it's like having cable.
Also, I'm happy to report that everywhere I went to shop for the tv every single person I saw was masked up. That includes 1 Target, 3 Wal-Marts, and a Best Buy.
I guess I'm lucky we have a nice home. If I was in one of my shitty apartments of days gone by I guess I'd be losing it worse than I am. Not that I'm losing it that much. Bars are too expensive anyway. And I always get shafted by the bartender.
I hate wasting mental energy on thinking about things I should’ve done or said. I’m trying to recognize it and stop it as soon as I catch myself doing it.
I also hate heat. I don’t know what to do about that.
It looks like the Dunning-Kruger administration has entered a Covid-19 vicious circle of doom. The news is so bad that facing reality would force them to admit they totally fucked up, so they have to deny reality. But the more they do that, the worse their fuck ups become and the more they have to deny reality.
Maybe you guys can help me out with something. I haven't updated the OS on my Mac ever and I really need to. I'm running Snow Leopard right now. Do I need to install every subsequent OS to get up to date or can I go right to the latest one? The main reason I haven't updated is I'm worried a new OS might not let me run my graphics programs which I pretty much stole from work years ago.
You can go right to the latest one but... You need to make sure your machine can handle the latest one. Plus, there's no guarantee that the new OS will let you run your old graphics programs. Last time I upgraded my MacBook, I lost the really old version of photoshop I nicked from my university a long, long time ago.
I met a chick who plays in a band last night. I’m supposed to see her again sometime today, but the thing is, I’m also attending this conference. So I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about the conflict in scheduling. That was the dream I was having right before I woke up.
We watched Irresistible last night. The new Jon Stewart movie. It had funny stuff in it. Some surprises. Definitely had some late nineties/early oughties Late Night/War Room vibes to it.
Casting Chris Cooper in his role was absolute genius. I've missed him.

It took me a while, but I got there.

And I would, except I have to go to work for a major corporation tomorrow and sell shit.
(sigh)
