I was preoccupied while shaving this morning, and I realized when I was nearly done that I had shaved using soap instead of shaving cream.
And it was fine. No difference.
I feel I’ve been duped by the shaving cream cartel my whole life.
With Captain Shaw’s attitude, he’s definitely Generation X. Also, Vadic’s hair is awful She needs a spa day.
Shower thought: The 1968 episode of the original Star Trek that guest-starred Teri Garr is a Doctor Who ripoff.
That’s the episode where the Enterprise travels back in time to 1968, and encounters an advanced humanoid alien named Gary Seven, who may or may not be mucking around with Earth history.
And now I want to see an episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” featuring the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald.
While the dog and I were walking at the park, a gentleman wearing a Batman helmet and cape sped by on his bicycle.

Janice Eberly, a “corporate ghoul who helped Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner steal Americans' houses on behalf of the bankers who destroyed the world economy in 2008,” seems likely to be tapped by Biden an open seat on the Federal Reserve Board.
Eberly helped throw millions of Americans into the street in order to reward reckless banks, already wildly profitable banks, with even more profit.
…
Personnel are policy. Eberly has explained, in excruciating detail, exactly what policy she favors – policy that rewards reckless speculation by incinerating the life chances of everyday Americans.
