“You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody.”
Donald Trump.

Sorry about the low quality of the video. This is the only 2nd Year BD Live I can find on YouTube. Thank kami-sama I found it. Of course now that I’ve showed it to you, it’s ruined the flow. We have to go back in time to 2014. The best was but the best is still to come.

What was Donald Trump raving about yesterday? Obamagate? What does that even mean? It’s all types of depressing that Donald Trump is the president. It makes me angry at those who made that happen.
I have aunts and uncles who did. Not too sure why. Anyone with any type of intelligence could see that he was temperamentally not fit to lead anything. Not sure why you would ignore that. These relatives are smart — they’ve been through college. Just never understand how you would want to associate yourself with such an ass.
It colors my relationship with them. Not too sure how to bring up this disaster. It really is. I could handle a normal republican but this is not normal. If it is really true that the rona is rampaging through the halls of the West Wing, if there is a god, she would call him home to her. There is no god.
Hippy punching is all they have. We’ve taken it. That’s all they have.
Link of the Day [5.10.20]
Whoa. Legendary punk record label, Dischord, has placed all their material out for free on bandcamp. That’s the label founded by Minor Threat and Fugazi lead, Ian MacKaye. I only know of those two bands, but the label is an important one for the punk scene as well as the independent music scene. Go listen. You may find something you like.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. Hope it finds you all safe and secure and happy in the knowledge that we all love you.

I’m just here to see the girls sweat. I’ll stay for the first live performance of Nigemizu. You stick around, too. I think you’ll enjoy this.

There are signs on the highway signal boards that read, “Save Lives. Essential Travel Only.” What am I doing out here then? I am out here killing people!
It was my mom’s idea to go visit my brother. We went for lunch and just a visit to see if he’s doing well. He is doing well.
It was a bit cold today which is a great feeling on the walk. A brisk breeze. Yesterday we had a hail storm. I heard it hitting the house and it sounds different. I looked outside and there was hail stuffing up the gutter. Just a weird set of weather so far during these troubling times.

Via Kottke. I guess my fascination for these POV videos isn’t the only one out there. Seems others share my fascination.

You know I think I remember this being one of the first Nogizaka46 concerts I watched either live as it was streaming or soon after from one of the idol video web pages. Most likely a day or two after since I didn’t know where or when someone would stream Japanese idol shows — not on YouTube as the algorithm hadn’t found out my obsession. Nowadays, it’s easy. There’s even some dudes that stream the Sakamichi block on Sunday morning — 3 shows from Nogizaka and her sister groups that usually air midnight JST Sunday. Although, the stream killers have been taking them down lately.

This is counting days is giving me the Iran Hostage Crisis feelings of my youth. That one went 444 days. Doesn’t it feel like we’re going to break it?
I’m trying to clean up around the house. Needing to throw things out. Does anyone know if the dump is still open?
Yesterday, I tried my hand at fried riced cauliflower. Today was a different experiment. Still with riced cauliflower, but this time I went with turmeric and paprika. It was alright, but I should’ve put some chicken in as well.
We find out today that some of Donald Trump’s entourage has caught the rona. Is it too hopeful to wish it strikes that dude down? There is no god if that doesn’t happen.
Whelp. Need to straighten up what I messed up in the home office…
