Sunday: This has not been a productive weekend

I didn't even make the cookie pie.  WTF, me?

I did get some groceries today, so that's good.  Still don't have a great meal plan for this week, so that's less good.  I also went back to Burgers on the Edge, getting my usual delicious meal.  It was a bit off today, as the fries didn't have as nice of a flavor as they usually do.  The burger was better than usual, but it does feel  a bit weird to be eating foie gras while homeless people push stolen shopping carts down the sidewalk ten feet away.

This guy stood up for like ten minutes while waiting for his to-go order.  He held that straw for that entire time, too.

I'm pretty sure this is a section of the original Resident Evil game.

This is why we have photoshop.

You'd think you'd use that $53 to buy a better meal.
Just for clarification, they work by having PE firm taking out a loan to buy company X.  Now that they own company X, they can transfer the loan they used to buy company X to that company, so now company X now has to basically pay the loan holder for the right to have the PE firm own them.  Unless the PE firm actually fixes a problem at company X, the loan can cripple company X, often leading to bankruptcy.  To be even bigger jerks about it, if company X tries to buy themselves back, they have to buy themselves back from the PE firm, so they can come up with a debt equal to twice the company valuation to do nothing but make the PE firm a pile of money.  This is what finance people do to deserve their giant incomes.
