Sweltering Summer

Political news has been devastating and exhausting, what with the Supreme Court's odious decisions and the horrendous bill going through Congress. They're trying to pass it by July 4th. Plus the whole Israel-Iran war erupted while Gaza continues to be devastated. Stupid Trump just made the whole thing stupider.

I'm glad that Pride marches around the world were especially defiant.

Meanwhile I've been shopping at thrift stores to try to save money, but it's harder to find clothes that aren't from Shein or cropped to be tiny or otherwise weird-looking. At least Ross stores actually have Petite sections, instead of jumbling everything together.

I forgot to review the Holmes play I saw at Stage West in June. I found the first act kind of slow and hard to get into, but it improved in the second act. Oh, and also Holmes and Watson dance together for one scene! :) Overall, I think the show should have been called "The Playboy Prince" after all because the souffle was a small plot point, very late in the show. At least I got better seats and close up photos of the stage set.

Meanwhile, I saw that Mattel released a She-ra Barbie doll, and it sold out quickly. I couldn't have bought it anyway, as I already splurged on the Lego Nook Book. Gotta save money.
