    It's almost always overcast here whenever something astronomically interesting is going on. :sigh:

    At my store, we card absolutely everybody who buys booze. Doesn’t matter how old they look.

    I kind of wish that had been so I had been Wal-Mart's policy, it would have made things easier.
    There was actually a guy who actually kind of scared me a little bit, he got so pissed that I thought he might attack me.

    Sounds just like the UK, I'm going to make a long range weather forecast for the 25th of October of this year (day of a partial solar eclipse visible in the UK), the skies will be overcast.

    My beloved cat Junior has decided that I am no longer going to sleep past 6:00 am....EVER. I now set an automatic feeder to open at 5:30 am, I keep Junior up later every night, and he stays up even later with Hubby. But no matter what, Junior howls at our door like an air raid siren until I get up. Even if he has plenty of food, he will go into full-on hysterics if I'm not up at 6am. I have never heard another cat make that kind of noise. I've had pets all my life and Junior is the only one who has ever howled liked this. It's like a cross between a humpback whale song and a military base warning system.

    ^ I wish feeding was the issue. He just wants me THERE to give him attention. He has some real separation anxiety. You'd think at 12 years old, he'd be over it, but....not so much.

    It's a big building with parking spaces all around it. Much bigger than the old Chicago Stadium it replaced (the old place could easily fit inside the new).

    Would be nice if the exhaust vent in my hotel room did not SOUND LIKE A FUCKING JACKHAMMER ON STEROIDS :brickwall: :mad:

    I keep getting lost while trying to find the place. :(

    I got invited to a place I would love to go, but it's all the way out in Pennsylvania, and I really can't go on a trip like that.

    The Hollywood Reporter website has been bombarding my inbox with tons of emails but I never signed up for anything from them. I don't even visit them. They're using an email I don't share with anyone because it's just used for certain purchases, so I don't know what's happening here unless one of those businesses shared the email with them. Unsubscribed and am still getting emails.

    This is the third night in a row that the Canadian dispatch system has been down at work. That's been...fun.

    You can't just mark them spam?
