I was reading an interview with Tom Petty circa 2010, and:
I don't feel so good.
I don't feel so good.

I settled into some serious brain rot by watching Jack of All Trades. I had forgotten how absolutely awful it is. 
Bruce Campbell
plays Jack (and admittedly he plays the goofball Zorro-type hero with the appropriate amount of verve).
But pity poor history & logic.
It's 1801, and Pres. Jefferson dispatches Jack to Pulao Pulao in the middle of the Pacific from which Napoleon intends to launch his campaign for world conquest. 
Jack joins up with a beautiful British spy--despite the fact that in real life, Jefferson was anti-British and pro-French.
In the last episode I could stomach, the French hire Blackbeard
to kidnap Benjamin Franklin and bring him to Pulao Pulao so that they can extort from him his ideas for weapons which the French can then use to conquer the world. Luckily, the British spy has built a submarine propelled by a pair of side paddlewheels 
, which our two heroes use to board Blackbeard's ship and overcome his crew 
despite Blackbeard's ability to drink kerosene and belch fireballs.
Worst...series...ever.

Exactly. And it's not like those ways are super-complicated to implement either. Anyone complaining about ads on YouTube really only have themselves to blame.

I don't think historical accuracy was the point...
Rant: Yesterday I was just sitting here in front of the computer (playing one of my jigsaw puzzle games), and suddenly somebody unlocked the door and started to come in.
Turns out that one of the office staff mistook my suite for a neighbor's suite. I'm still going to mention it to the manager, as I don't know why she would just walk into any suite in the first place, without even knocking. She wasn't showing it to anyone, and there weren't any maintenance staff with her so there was no emergency going on.

Maybe there have been some complaints against your neighbor and the staff are investigating? Or this staff member is engaging in a secret affair with your neighbor? The possibilities are really endless.
Rant: So apparently the Dalai Lama, one of the most beloved figures in the entire world, is a "far-right extremist" now according to the EU simply because he criticized their immigration policy. I mean all he really said was that Europe belongs to Europeans and refugees should return to their homelands and rebuild them. In what universe does that statement constitute "far-right extremism"?
Seriously, the EU needs to stop throwing a toddler-like tantrum every time someone criticizes their policies or disagrees with them, especially considering the EU leadership feels it has the right to express their unsolicited opinion of other nations' policies. My message to the EU: Either learn to take what you dish out or shut your mouths. Why is it that the EU just seems so desperate to have the entire world agree with them?
Not to mention, it is extremely scummy and gross to attack the leader of one of the world's major (and most peaceful) religions simply because he doesn't agree with your policies.

They wouldn't just walk in without even knocking. That's only for emergencies, like fires or plumbing issues that cause flooding or bad leaks. Since this is the ground floor, there's nobody below us to complain about leaks.

Play with me.
If your gonna make it bad, you might as well go all the way. Bruce Campbell knows this.

So secret affair it is then.
Ths only proper retort to that comment is to hit you with a fish.
From where did you pluck this sensationalist 'news' item?

Actually, all the world belongs to humanity. Attempts to segregate people based upon their skin color, religion, etc. is the hallmark of far-right philosophy, which seeks to sow fear and hatred based upon xenophobia.

I talked to the manager this morning, and he apologized on her behalf. He's going to have a talk with the staff about being more careful about just walking into suites like that.
What happened was that this particular suite had been vacant, she was one of the office staff who had just rented it to someone, and was doing a last-minute inspection to see if there are any maintenance issues left to take care of.
So it appears I'm getting a new neighbor fairly soon.
I can''t decide if I want to buy a laptop for traveling, or just disconnect for that time.
And on the subject of traveling, I'm stuck with the habit of massively overpacking. I mean, I have a car, I'm going alone, I have a lot of room. But seriously, I'll take way too much. I always do.

Some landlords would think so. The person who did this is a woman, and she's supposed to be here when the manager has his days off. So now I know her name, and he's going to speak to her about it since although she apologized to me, she neglected to tell him about mistakenly walking into the wrong suite.
I told the manager that ever since that tenant tried pushing his way in last year (the one I called the cops on), I've been a bit jumpy when people come to the door and I'm not expecting them.
