The most underrated but stunningly well done shoe on television these days: _Slow Horses_

I thought driving on Friday would be easier since most folks just wfh including government employees – but it rained – and it took me 2 hours and 45 minutes to cover a distance of 25 miles from college park to my home. Utterly exhausted with the nonsense – I truly hate driving around the capital beltway. Two more days of this but hopefully weekend makes driving tolerable – one can hope!

Normal people’s obsession with Musk is something I dont get, especially after going through the Trump years and still going through it. Like what about these assholes makes normal people get so worked up that they are constantly talking about them nonstop, analyzing and dissecting their every action or statement they make, and then give them benefit of doubt like *is he sick?*, *is he unwell?*, *he needs treatment*, giving them the benefit of doubt that somehow all their actions could be tied to *he is sick*.

No you stupid peeps, neither Musk or Trump is sick. They are so rich that even a twitch in their thumbs likely calls for major health checkups and you are telling me they are so mentally unwell that they have no idea? not a chance. This is who they are. Stop giving them the coverage and conversation they so desire. Stop treating Trump and Musk like people who are so unwell they don’t know what they are doing and *spiraling*. No, the spiraling IS the act. Just fucking ignore what they have to say. I am seriously concerned that normal populace is now so obsessed with these narcissists that they themselves are turning into one.

Ok I honestly was expecting to be more excited after watching Furioda trailer but felt let down.

Day 1 of a long weekend of swim meets for me. Today tomorrow and next two days driving to college park is going to be a nightmare. The capital beltway 495 is the road from hell honestly and the thought of navigating this for next 4 days is more exhausting than the swim meet itself coz the venue of the swim meet is so good. It’s too bad also thst Maryland defunded all athletics and swim teams a decade ago so now this fantastic facility just hosts meets but doesn’t have a swim team of its own!

For the last 2 weeks I fancied going to India for a wedding. Unfortunately even after trying hard to line up schedule and matching it with other people’s plans during the same times I was unable to create a itinerary that would’ve allowed for some rest and fun along with the wedding; instead anyway i sliced it it was becoming a 2 week hectic jump from one city to another trip with no respite or feeling of being home. Cancelled the trip and I don’t feel bad about it for now! Now I need to find something else to do last week of Dec!

I will have no problems if Disney just collapses and dies and gets bought out and gets broken up and all that. One can only wish!

I often feel like Las Vegas, outside of the strip zone may not be a bad place to live. Sunny almost all year round, proximity to so many national parks, and general connectivity to west coast feels like its an ideal place for someone who loves the sun to live. Maybe I should put the city on my wishlist of places I wish I lived but I dont.

Omg I want to dance tonight knowing the old bastard is no more.

2 episodes in *The Railway Men* on netflix is so well done! I am glad this is just a 4 part series and am looking forward to finishing the other 2 episodes.
