Looking at adding another news subscription. The Atlantic charges by the year, so that's unlikely. WSJ tends to duplicate what I get from Wapo and the Times, so I don't see a lot of value there. I can get the New Yorker at $1.25/week, billed as you go, so that's the most likely.

Resting after walking around Vilnius. Vilnius has a variety of architectural styles including baroque, gothic, renaissance, and neoclassical - with some Soviet-era thrown in.

For the longest time, Dad's been talking about maybe renovating the attic into a new room. For the longest time, nothing's come of it and I just assumed it was never happening. Recently, Dad's finally found somebody, and I finally talked to him about it. I liked the idea of extra space and shelving and maybe a second bathroom. But the idea of moving up there terrifies me. We decided to scale back our plans as a result.

I hate ordering things nowadays. A package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday is now being delayed.

It's so much worse than the good old days of "Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for shipping and handling."

Wanting to be updated on the news lasted less than a day. It's scary out there. I'll just stay in my ignorant bubble, thank you.

saw someone talking about antifa surprisingly, thought it was over after so many years
now that its equivalent of being a clown in politics.
theyre bad stalkers and they support cancer religious groups.
they should be ashamed of all the trolling they do.

Then: 'Wow. When I ordered this book, they said it would take 6-8 weeks for delivery, and it got here in 5 weeks and 6 days. SCORE!!'
Now: 'I ordered my embroidered Harry Potter boxer shorts today. If they don't arrive by tomorrow, I won't be responsible for my actions.'

Hit 'em with that black magic. That'll show 'em who's boss.
