Heated Rivalry

 We're cold again.  Back down into the mid 20s (F).  Over the next few days temps will be warming up.  Right now we have full on sunshine, however, the prediction is for it to disappear.  Saturday we will be in the high 50s (F) to low 60s (F), but that temp, too, shall pass.  A week from now we will once again be in the mid to upper 3s (F).  Spring can't get here fast enough.

Yesterday was a work day.  I was number 1 in the department for last week in sales.  That won't happen this week, not that I care.  Within the next week or so I should be getting a pay increase.  That's what's important.  That and the fact that if I last another 2 years in the part-time position, I'll be getting 2 and a half weeks of vacation pay to use in whatever way that I want.  I'm happy with that.  And let's face it, the 20 or so odd hours I spend each week at the flooring desk are not going to break my social calendar.  I'm still doing my lunches, and movies, and video gaming.  As you get older, the idea is to stay busy, not sit back and wait for death to come snatch you away.

Two different HVAC companies are coming today to give me estimates on a new heating system.  To impress upon them the fact that I have connections in the home improvement industry, I'm wearing one of the my Home Depot sweatshirts I've been given over the years.

So, I finally watched Heated Rivalry.  Some parts were very good, like the Scott Hunter bits, and other parts were weak.  The show was overwhelmingly popular with women, mostly because you  could have made the Shane Hollander character Jane Hollander and it would have played out like a straight romance, except with men.  I think a few homophobic slurs in the locker, or even a little more misogynistic sex talk among the players might have given the show a bit more realism.  There would have been a frightening reason for remaining closeted.   However, the representation on national TV was without a doubt the best thing to happen to the gay community in like... forever, even if it did have that Spielberg ending.

And Orangie's first State of the Union speech is this evening.  I'm going to be joining millions of Americans and not watch it.  All he's going to do is lie.  Tonight will be a repeat of everything we've seen over the past year.  He will glory in the attention, all the while spewing deceit, after deceit, after deceit.  No president in history has had a lower approval rating at this point in his presidency.  He is like the our current temperature, the only difference being that our temperature will rise.  That's right, we will heat up while Orange slowly dies in the dead of winter.  

From what I'm hearing, Orangie's going to be kicking at least 2 dead horses, one called Biden and another called Obama.  It's also quite possible he kicked around the lies about election fraud, so that might be a 3rd dead horse.  I also expect him to be seriously medicated, probably a fresh transfusion of young, virginial blood to keep him from soundowning.
