A lot of humor (and some action) to counter-balance the really disturbing bits of news

This entry is part [part not set] of 100 in the series Today's Tidbits

Another kind of crazy day, but there was plenty of humor to distract online (or so it seems).

That’s good because some of the news items that came across my various feeds were more than a little disheartening. Mostly politics and environmental stuff… and I didn’t bother to re-share many of them because I just didn’t have the time to dedicate to giving them a good intro.

But they’re out there… and, sadly, I’m sure they’ll come up again.

So, today you get mostly talking animals, heart-warming stories, and some movie trailers.

Because, really, the world sucks enough as it is… no need to dwell on it all the time. (Just take action when you can!)

Also, it’s supposed to be ridiculously warm this week (mid-90s during the day, mid-70s overnight, if we’re lucky). I don’t care much for that kind of heat… especially when it’s paired with equally ridiculous levels of humidity. Imma gonna melt.

Not too long after I got home form work on Friday, I turned right back around and went out. Then didn’t come back until nearly sunrise.

The only Memorial Day type thing I did this past long weekend was that barbecue on Friday night. Saturday and Monday were spent mostly just zoning out, letting my subconscious decompress and work through everything it’s been tasked with dealing with while I keep on keeping on with some semblance of a normal life.

The big break between bouts of couch sitting was to hit Spellbound for the first time since August. I used to be there every weekend. I should probably start going there more often, but without a car, I’m at the mercy of public transportation and feel trapped. No quick and definitive way to make an exit if I need to, no opportunity to stay out late and grab crepes with people down the street if I want to. I used to metro there all the time… then I got spoiled (and got used to numerous other aspects of going out there).

But, on Saturday night, I closed the place down, lasing a bit after most of the other people I knew had left.

And then it was back to the couch and A/C in the apartment. A setup that is much more indicative of how the rest of my life will likely be at this point.

Can’t really complain about the weekend. Kind of dreading how crazy tomorrow at work may be. But looking forward to the local premiere of a film a bunch of people I know made (and I chipped in to help pay for) after work tomorrow.

Anyway… here’s a long list off the feed going back to Friday morning.
