A house 5 doors down on our street came on market on Friday. Today was the open house and we were surprised to see no traffic around at all on our street. I check the listing again and turns out they got multiple offers over the weekend, so they cancelled the open house and house will likely go over bidding tomorrow. This real estate market even with these interest rates is just pure madness!

Last night was our 4th attempt at finishing Blade Runner 2049 and we are still 40 mins short! What a stunningly shot dreadfully boring movie. It’s really dreadful but my god the visual poetry!

TIL middle schoolers use “sped” as a derogatory term to insult their friends. Their lingo will never fail to amaze me and makes me wonder what all did we say or do in our school days.

At the swim meet talking to another parent and we talked about Seattle and homelessness problem and she goes “I heard they defunded the police!” And that was my cue to end the conversation right there.

Yet another swim meet this weekend and this one began at 6 each day which meant waking up at 5 both days of weekend ugh! On the plus side we will be done before lunch time both days.

I love how the tone has changed from Trump won’t get any immunity from scotus to now he will have “some” immunity. When will the fucking stupid Americans realize they have a fundamentally corrupt justice system and scotus? The motherfucker will get what he wants from scotus and all legal “experts” will be left with pikachu faces.

Much needed rain soaked day today followed by next 10 days of blissful sun – that’s how I like my spring and summer. It must rain every 10 days is my rule!

I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift’s new album for the last week and I am definitely enjoying it, but I wish it wasn’t as glum. That said I really it when artists haven’t succumbed yet to creating music with streaming listens in mind. Most artists create songs today that are just optimized for streaming listens (Shorter lengths, catchy hooks etc, less songs in an album and more singles) – its refreshing to see Taylor just create a massive double album and create music as she feels fit instead of succumbing to streaming market! I still need time to figure out which songs I really like from this album but *who’s afraid of little old me?* is a definite standout.

After the initial shock of reading it has wore off, I wonder if Kristi Noem actually shot a 14 month toddler and killed a child but decided to change it to a dog for the book coz in her mind she thought it might read better? Republicans are so disgustingly vile people that if it turned out she actually killed a 14 month old toddler I wouldn’t actually be totally shocked. And you know what, their base will still lap her up and vote for her.

After almost a year since we started, we have the last few episodes of *Modern Family* to finish as a family. In retrospect the show holds up much better than it felt like back then, especially the criticisms o the later seasons when the kids become adults. Watched back to back the transition doesn’t seem jarring, and while it doesn’t retain the hilarity of earlier seasons, the later seasons are not bad at all. That said I am never going to forgive what a mess they made of Haley, the most interesting character on the show, the only character who actually *grows* in the show while everyone else in the show practically remains the same. Still, watching *Modern Family* each evening as a family was one of our must-do things everyday. Its going to be tough to fill this void!
