What did the dog do while I was gone since I put the trashcan up and made sure everything was off the table.
He scattered his food all over the kitchen, unlocked the front door, and pulled all the dirty laundry out of the hamper.

Well, by the time Lion King hit the theaters in late 1994 (November in Poland, according to wiki), the first book of Witcher saga was already out and the second was on the way. And then there were 3 or 4 books composed of short stories before that.

When I was younger, before I had to start wearing glasses, I wanted to be a Pilot.I'm going to take a plane tomorrow and I'm nervous. Not only do I hate flying in general, the storm that has been blowing hasnt helped.I used to love flying.
One flight during a serious storm killed my love of flying.
Please travel safe, and know that in all likelihood, you will be okay.
I wanted to be a pilot ever since I was a little kid.
I still want to be a mobile suit pilot.
The moving Gundam has me hopeful.

Have you considered that they might have been scarred away by stories of a naked 50-something standing in the window and looking for them?

the naked guy, standing at his window staring out at the at&t workers obsessively, unknowingly turned the job into a hostile work environment.

Well, heck if I'm going to get dressed for AT&T workers anyway.
But yep, someone snuck through here at some point, hung AT&T ads on every door, and then took a Sharpee to all the signs and changed 2/10 to 2/12.
Yeah, somehow the audacity of putting advertising on everyone's door while simultaneously pissing them off over your scheduling is so ballsy that I'm not nearly as appalled as I should be.
And if you get to work from home, why not do it naked?

NobodysHome's Work Life in a Nutshell
NobodysHome: Ah, geez. We're between releases.
NobodysHome's Teammate: Hey, environment team! We need these 50 users updated by hand for the next release!
Environment Team: You've GOT to be kidding me! That's days of work for a trivial change. I'll try to do it, but I don't know that it can be automated. I may need to grab your whole team for a few hours so we can all hand-enter it all.
...
NobodysHome's Manager: Hey, NobodysHome! I know you're bored. Can you help the environment team?
NH: Hooray!
NH: OK. Here's the full solution. It takes 5 minutes to implement, updates all 50 users at once, and can be used in the future for all modifications you might want to make. And it's in this single 2 kb .csv file.
Yeah, some days I'm just good.

So this is fun.
Two weeks ago, at a faculty meeting, we all agreed not to celebrate Valentine's Day with the primary students. Mostly because in the passing out of treats and trinkets into bags, it's become a second Halloween with hearts instead of overt fangs, where the only real bloodsucking monster is Hallmark, and where it's all about "What did I get?" and the message of love or kindness or friendship is utterly forgotten.
And then the kids are sugared-up little freaks for the rest of the day.
I drew the short straw and got picked to send the email to the parents.
We have only had one email back, from anyone, but it's from our room mother, who has decided she's gunning for me and has sent three increasingly strident emails to the Director in as many days, asking why we can't educate *and* celebrate.
I have thus far refrained from any sort of smart-ass response about "educating and celebrating"
... in which I talk about my proposed lesson plan for the holiday, and how I plan to educate her daughter about the ancient Roman roots of Valentine's Day, ie the festival of Lupercalia, and how after we sacrifice one of the school goats (it will be hard to choose between Sally and Isis, but we will have to just say eenie meenie miney mo and accept the results) as well as a dog, and anoint the boys with the blood, we'll have them run laps around the soccer field before coming back to the classroom, where they will whip the girls with leather thongs to ensure fertility.
for, well, reasons.
So I'm grouchy.

To be honest, when I reread it so did I and I also wanted my own Orthos for around the house.I can leave food stuffs on the counter, where the winter mice will get it, or I can leave it on the table, where our dog (who has recently discovered a life of crime) will get it.
Because apparently, I CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!
Or oreos.
I misread this as "Orthos".
Now I want an Orthos of my very own to leave on my counter. I want nice things dammit.
I'd keep one for the combination of snark, insight, and interesting conversation, personally. Also pokemon. Pretty sure Orthos actually has real ones, and they'd come with.it has to be a life size cardboard cutout of orthos looking either deadpan or incredibly confused.
Car pool lane, here I come!
I thought DIRECTLY of orthos when watching the Detective Pikachu movie.
I also thought of measuring pokemon height in scints.
There are, like, fifty Pokemon that are my exact height.

Valentine's Day is stupid.
To the single, it's just a reminder that you're alone while everyone else in the world seems to be celebrating, which is unfair.
To the paired, it's just one more day on the calendar to be forced to spend even more money on a relationship that either
a) doesn't need it, because it is secure and the individuals involved celebrate one another regularly without outside holiday reminders or
b) is money wasted on a relationship that will inevitably fail
Not to mention the historical, religious, and commercial attachments I disagree with.

See. That's why I love her.
Oh and to anyone who claims that's a trap, etc. - she isn't that kind of woman. I divored that kind of double talk. She means it. She certainly meant it last year when we didn't do squat.
I'm pretty lucky to have her. So lucky I might surprise her with a gift.

I get to take Crookshanks to the dentist to get a filling today (not from a cavity, it's a genetic thing).
Thankfully, we have a great dentist and Crookshanks is the very definition of model patient so it should be pretty painless.
Also, the General made me tell her about the appointment last night, rather than my preferred method of a surprise attack.

I'm not sure, but I think it started with the false alarm missile alert in Hawaii. That pushed an alert to everyone in the area's phones.
DuoLingo, if you have the app, also has push notifications. These seem...vaguely ominous. "Looks like you forgot your Spanish lessons again. You know what happens now!" Meaning, presumably, you lose your streak.
Someone in the area must have had the app, forgot their lesson due to the, um, missile alert, and posted a screenshot of their lockscreen:
"Looks like you forgot your Spanish lessons again. You know what happens now!"
"EMERGENCY ALERT: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY."
Therefore, the internet decided that you must remember your daily streak, or Duo will find you.
And, being a terrible person, I decided to put a reminder of that in my classroom.

My wife and I each work the same 9/80 work schedule at our separate employers, and this next Valentine's Day is our off-Friday. So we'll probably do a nice Valentine's Day breakfast (or maybe lunch, or both!) somewhere, so it still feels like we're going out, but we don't have to worry about reservations or crowds or even feeling pressured to go out after another crazy week when we really just want to chill out and then go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Although, she DOES like the flowers.
(Sorry CY, I purchase murdered plants) ;P
Although-although, While she LOVES getting roses, she is getting to where she'd rather have a new potted plant to add to her collection on the back porch.

Poor Impus Minor just can't win...
Impus Minor insisted that we play through the fight anyway, because he was sick of every single BBEG in the game falling asleep (and he had a point).
So the BBEG, now weaponless, used his touch attack on Impus Minor's PC, dazing him for 4 rounds, resulting in him being out for the entire combat.
Watching Impus Minor's overblown frustration and anger was hilarious.
But seriously.
"I'm sick of doing nothing during these combats! No Slumber Hex! We're doing the combat."
"OK. Next action. The BBEG takes you out for the duration of the combat."
"&$%*$#*!"

I'm,... so sorry.
I just cant watch that. And I tried.
Even when I didn't feel good and wanted nothing more than to sit on the couch in front of the TV and veg, and my son left the channel on THAT network, I would get up to change the channel, I just don't 'get it'.
To be fair, there are a lot of shows that I 'Don't Get'.
Cow & Chicken, Rick & Morty. Etc.
I cannot even watch Spongebob for more than few minutes without jumping onto the spiral slide into madness.
And yet, my son pointed out that I cant watch the Spongebob cartoon, yet I sat through and enjoyed "Spongbob the Musical" when it was on TV last month.
Meh. Just no accounting for tastes I guess.
