Wednesday: Today is a holiday.

Which I spent doing basically nothing.  I decided I wanted a burrito, and started to drive over the Pali to the place in Kailua.  Unfortunately, there was an accident on the Pali, and it was crazy backed up.  "No problem, I'll go to the other, not quite as good burrito place in Kaimuki."  Double unfortunately, I saw earlier that the Pali on-ramp onto H-1 was gridlock, so I decided to do the trip on surface streets.  This was probably a mistake since it took a half hour.

Also it wasn't that great and the queso was super separated.


  • Steven Universe.
  • Marnie.
  • Red panda.
  • Star Wars.
  • This is definitely a problem, and the only actual solution is more funding for education and research, which isn't going to happen as long as people are dumb.  Alternatively, we could have a national guaranteed income, which also isn't going to happen as long as people are dumb.
  • In related news, Kansas is going to continue to be screwed because they vote for dumb people.  Or, alternatively, people who aren't dumb, but are actively malicious.
  • In more related news, Kentucky is also going to be screwed because they did vote for someone who is actively malicious.  To the point where people are likely to die because they voted for someone who campaigned on letting them die.  People should stop being dumb.
  • In terms of me being dumb, I should give up the notion that Agents of Shield is ever going to be the good show I want it to be.  They're always going to keep wasting time with Hydra, because Hydra is made of people, and people are cheap to put on TV.  A monster-of-the-week show with fun team action would require lots of special effects, and that would be expensive.  It also sucks that they keep trying to make everyone overcome tragic challenges, which is pretty much the exact opposite of "fun team action."  It doesn't help that there are like eight ten (colson, lab-guy, lab-girl, shaky-mutant, big guy, super spy, mockingbird, british guy.  No, eight, had it right the first time) main characters, so they have to split time on characters I don't care about (I'm looking at you, British guy).
    • And this is probably part of why I liked Agent Carter more.  Fewer characters.  Carter, British guy (but cool and funny), Stark (who's mostly there in name only), cop guy, other cop guy, boss cop guy.  See?  All the cop guys blend together.  Sure, one is limpy cop guy and the other one is supposed-to-be-love-interest cop guy, but there's a much tighter focus on the characters that are actually interesting.
