Some kind of frog

Know what kind of sucks about working all morning and then coming home? It's kind of hard to find the energy to say anything meaningful in Pubski.

I kind of wanted to talk about how I hear the Toyota C-HR is kind of disappointing in that its looks are promising something the car can't deliver. I'm kind of hoping Toyota makes a hot-hatch followup to it, like the Focus ST, Mazda Speed3, Golf GTI, etc. I also kind of want to talk about how Buick is coming out with a wagon option for the latest Regal and Dala loves wagons and the boring side of me loves Buicks and I kind of hope we get a used one a few years down the road when her car finally kicks it.

I kind of wanted to complain about how I think it's ridiculous that I have to wear flannel shirts in the middle of summer because my roommates want to keep the air conditioning on so high. Something tells me that's definitely a first world problem.

I kind of wanted to talk about how Dala got a thundershirt for the dog and that it works really well, but I'm concerned that maybe we should use it sparingly so she doesn't grow dependent on it. What if there's an afternoon storm and no one is home to put it on her? Won't she start to feel worse? Additionally, I feel kind of like a jerk about the whole thing because I want my dog to learn how to tough things out but I also know some things are beyond her control.

Speaking of toughing it out, my friend is marveling that I'm sticking with DS9. I'm almost done with Season 2. I'm positive of 4 things. 1) Dax is a wasted character. 2) The filler episodes are awful and there are podcasts and radio shows that go into much deeper philosophical discussions than some of these filler episodes touch on. 3) There totally needs to be a Star Trek series where the protagonists need to navigate around a central theme that in the eyes of a lot of nations, The Federation is an unwanted, even antagonistic presence. 4) This paragraph has too many numerals in it.
