Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
But surely beer and juleps cannot fill the void left by love. Indeed only wine can achieve this, but it is famously costly, which is why sadness is among the most recurrent issues facing the poor [in bed].
Ricken Hale (Severance)

Not sure about any one else, but drunk is drunk for me. Have never noticed a big difference when drinking different types of alcohols.

I did the bulk of this post Saturday afternoon and meant to add Saturday night and maybe a few comments from Sunday but then life happens and I’ve run out of time Monday night and am tired. So you gets what you get. 

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Back from vacation in Sister Bay, WI and Chicago and boy has this small town boy faced with many new things. The Oregon Ducks football team being smaller than I thought they would be and second was the Adnerwilde (not real name) Bar Mitzvah held in the ballrooms and lobby of the hotel we were staying at, I just bemusedly watched.

The best part, went outside to take a hit or 9 and while I am vaping this group come out to the smoking area. A very distinguished older gentleman, silver hair, black suit appeared to be an authority figure. The other three were one young man and two young women in their early 20s all dressed in what is probably their finest. I stood there doing my best George Peppard smoking a cigar impression, and the older gentleman pulls out a big old fat pre-roll, fires that fatty up, and they start passing it around. I had no idea pot was kosher! Or are there strains that are considered kosher?

Had brunch at Max’s Deli, so I should have asked the two elderly Jewish ladies who were kevetching at each other. I wonder what their thoughts would have been.

I hope the call comes in from New York to not let the Chargers score a touchdown before halftime or too many viewers will turn the game off and go to bed.

One of the things I do to get through, (frantically waves 1080 degrees around self), all of this, is to donate money to various environmental groups in the admittedly slim hope that there will still be clean air and water when I shuffle off my mortal coil.

I have noticed a distinct difference in the responses of various groups. My local conservation group*, for instance, sends me nice thank you notes, handwritten updates on what they’re using the money for, and invitations to various gatherings. The Audubon Society does the same.

The Sierra Club responds to my recent renewal and donation with “GIVE US AT LEAST $180 OR ALL THE WOLVES ARE GONNA DIE AND IT’LL BE YOUR FUCKING FAULT YOU CHEAP SON OF A BITCH!! AND SIGN THIS PETITION SO WE CAN SEND IT TO WASHINGTON AND SOME SENATOR CAN USE IT AS TOILET PAPER!!!”

You can probably guess who’s getting another donation and who isn’t.

*If you have a local conservation group I urge you to donate more money than you can afford to to that group, more often than you should. They’re generally underfunded but still very effective because they focus on and build off of small scale efforts that can quickly add up to something very significant. And they don’t send you shitty letters implying that you’re somehow at fault for the Yangtze River dolphin’s probable extinction.

As I continue to open mail I got another solicitation from the World Wildlife Fund, (they ask for money a lot, but they at least send me things like bookmarks and will throw in a pair of socks or Xmas wrapping), and in their update they mention efforts to save the snow leopards of Nepal which, read the room WWF, I don’t think is a priority for the Nepalese right this second!

The king and queen of the festival have to get married before the festival ends, because they Cant Elope.

Unfortunately this week is another scramble/ thrown together post.

There’s a reason I constructed a whole bit about Hunter Renfrow showing up late to the studio (and put off the whole prom thing until the end of the frickin’ summer). Personally I really appreciate that you’re [sharkbait] here EVERY week; it’s hard as hell to maintain that level of commitment and you’re a star for doing it.

Last night at my apartment, the movers come tomorrow. Went to order some dinner, and it turns out the cheesesteak place is offering 2 for 1. I guess breakfast is taken care of, too!

Found a funny:

Look man, Spuds McKenzie was a long fucking time ago. It’s not like I had ‘fuck you’ money. I still gotta earn a living. Do you want a drink or are you just gonna bust my balls?
