Your “Sands Through The Hourglass” Sunday Evening Open Thread

, ,

I realize it’s pedantic, but I’m not fond of my workplace switch from four- to five days per week. I got really comfortable having those Fridays off. It’s not that the six total hours of commitment is egregious, it’s just that it interrupts the relaxation of the day. I miss being able to go see movies opening day, or go hiking with the dogs. Little things.

Never mind me – I’m just bitchy because it’s interim report & meeting with parents season.

Goddamn, that Sunday Gravy pizza looked good. I’mma have to try that sometime.

I have been using the same dough recipe since I was a kid, so a little variety won’t kill me. The pain is waiting for it to rise; sometimes I try to cheat and avoid waiting the whole hour. It never works, and I vow not to do it again. That happens at least once per year.

Tonight’s sports:

  • AAF:
    • Atlanta at Arizona – 8:00PM | NFLN
  • NHL:

It’s two weeks until public school Spring Break in Canada. More importantly, TWO WEEKS UNTIL MARCH MADNESS!

Sometimes I think it would be quicker to take a Lyft line from LAX so I wouldn’t have to wait the 20 minutes for the driver to get from the TNC lot to curbside pickup.

When we got back a couple of days ago our Lyft driver was there super fast. It was a shared ride, but the other idiot we were supposed to be in the car with went to the wrong pickup area, and then when she finally turned up had more baggage than is allowed for a shared ride. So we got to ride solo!

Hearing rumblings that Seb Gorka done fucked up at CPAC, which is incredible, because the guy on stage at the time used playing xylophone on a starving Syrian child’s ribs as an example of the positive benefits of selling weapons to the Saudis.

If that’s not confirmation Cohen was telling the truth this time, I don’t know what will. Trump couldn’t have been more unhinged if he did a line of cocaine before going on stage.

Have you ever mashed it for a good half-hour and been completely unable to get it up? That’s basically the equivalent of Trump’s CPAC speech. He’s trying so hard to get that onstage rush back, and it’s simply not working anymore.

I have a real affinity for guys who run like sports analysis/commentary twitter accounts — but then totally homer out for their alma matter/local teams: proving that they’re just hacks throwing the sameness handfuls of shit against the wall as any Skip or Stephen A. type personality.

(Note: beating OSU doesn’t mean jack for an ASU squad that got blown out by Oregon by 20+ this same trip. ASU needs a conf tourney championship or some serious lackluster midmajor close outs — and Power 5 lust from The Committee — to be in The Dance, where they absolutely do not belong.)

6-9 inches of snow? Nice.

Snow days Senor has had teaching, whether after school or as a teacher: 3? 4?
Snow days Senor had, K-12: 0. There was one day that was a snow day for Hermana Weaselo, but I was off on intersession so I was already off.

Our districts are all at 14+ snow days and we’ve reached the “threatening the staff if they try to take sick days during the makeup period” levels of panic

When I was a kid we were good for 5 a year. This was actually a low total because we were the only shit kicking district that had roads worthy of being plowed. The absolute last school to call out. And there were a few days where I made the long walk only to meet locked doors. I guess it was good news, but they could have jumped on that announcement a little quicker.

I watched the show and never connected the theme with a band. Learn something fucking new errry day.

a space band

The name of the Space band, according to the fictional description given in the anime series Cowboy Bebop, derives from how the performers wear seatbelts to be safe while they play hardcore jam sessions.

The band performed the whole soundtrack of the anime series Cowboy Bebop and produced a total of seven albums and one live DVD.

Kanno’s put out some killer music aside from this, and brought most of the band back for Kids on the Slope, but I don’t know if there’s ever going to be an OST that touches Cowboy Bebop’s.

For the gamer types, The Messenger is definitely one worth checking out. It starts out looking like an 8-bit Ninja Gaiden clone, then eventually turns into a time travel thing switching from 8 to 16-bit styles, then turns into a full-fledged Metroidvania style platformer. It’s so good.

They can’t as per the CBA. But there is going to be a work stoppage when it expires in 3 years. The Yankees revenue has gone from something like $250MM a year to over $700MM and their player salaries have remained flat. The game is exploding and the players aren’t getting their cut.

FFS, I’m getting notices from my kid’s school about the fucking Momo videos. Pay attention to what your kids are doing and they won’t have a fucking muppet telling them to kill themselves on youtube, and if they do because they got around your controls and observation, discretion is a fucking life skill. Silver lining, people.

I watched “Under Siege” earlier today, and once you get past the fake naked boobs and the bad, bad, bad acting of Steven Seagal, there’s not a bad movie down there.

Also, Tommy Lee Jones looked like he was having fun in that movie. Not as much as Raul Julia in “Street Fighter” which in itself is a joy few people will ever experience themselves, but Jones seemed to be enjoying himself.

I’m about to sign over $200k to my nephew, for him to buy a piece of property which will be paid off, in order to get my mother out from under from having to pay his bills.

How stupid am I?

Give me $100K and a shovel and I can make the same thing happen.

You’re naive if you think that will stop your mother from paying his bills. There are other bills besides housing.

Veto. Leave the money to your niece in a trust until she’s 18.

Just make sure if something happens to you, control of the trust doesn’t do to nephew. A coworker of mine got screwed out of a seven-figure trust because their father died and their stepmother got control and from what they told me she was an manipulative, vindictive cuuuuuuuuuontemptuous person.
