| Mawe Is Almost 2 Months Old at San Diego Zoo (Taken 1.24.22) |
I went to the San Diego Zoo for a short visit on Monday but I guess I wore the wrong shoes because I was wiped out when I got home. My inbox didn't seem super pressing so I did part of this post and decided I'd just finish it this morning after I'd had a chance to get a full night's sleep. Plus we stopped at H-Mart on our way home from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on Sunday and made a massive Korean dinner with all the yummy sides and perfectly marinated chicken.
It seems the more real-threat craziness going on in the world, the more distracting silliness we get along with it. The Russia-Ukraine situation continues to heat up, populist leaders and movements are picking up steam all over the globe, and the pandemic continues to rage out of control as we just all seem to carry on with our lives as if everything is totally fine. And then I see there's a petition to keep the green M&M sexy because lesbians are offended that she's being "straight-washed" and what are we even talking about anymore? Have we all lost our fucking minds? And of course, Biden was caught on a hot mic calling Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch" and while he's not wrong, the pearl-clutching on the right has been hilarious. I actually sat through a Hannity segment last night and my eyes nearly rolled out of the back of my head. And, for the record, the president wasn't taking questions when Doocy asked his dumb question about inflation and Biden was commenting that he was asking an idiotic rhetorical question. He may has well have said, "as if."
I'll get a full post in today, but it won't come until later tonight. I'm going to try to update listings, too, so I'm not stuck doing them on the weekend. In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great day.
Stay safe out there.
