Didn't get a whole lot of work done, but I did make contact with the Loan People (sent them much paper) and The Realtor (fille) (made an appointment to do paperwork Sunday).

all before noon
I thought up a really good curse in the shower this morning: May you experience the consequences of your actions.
Too harsh?
More of a crowd than usual at the bus stop this morning. Some guy walked up to one of the regulars and started threatening her - I heard, "If you were a guy I'd beat your ass," and there was more I didn't hear. She just stared at him. He walked away, but he kept pointing back to her and miming kicking as he crossed the street. Coward that I am, I did nothing until he'd gone around the corner, and only then did I go ask her if she was OK. "I don't know him," she said. "I didn't think you did," I said, "Just wanted to check you're OK." She said yeah, and I heeded her 'I have had way too much human contact for now' vibe and stepped away.
Came in to find three months of the Barbados Gazette on my chair. Hooray! I <3 gazettes.
10:30 finally got a call back from the city. I'm approved. Didn't the realtor call? (Yes, she called two days ago, but for some reason, we decided to do the "who's on first?" sketch instead of having a productive conversation.)
10:40 vm to loan officer.
Finished sorting through the Barbados Gazette; found one (1) piece of relevant information.
11:15 Boss hands me my annual review form. She said nice things. We're going for a muffin later.
Today's earrings: strawberries, apples

OK, so that Stacy is a piece of work. "They'll be lucky if they get fed"? I don't care that she had the good idea of voting off Edgardo, she's still functionally a remora. She is Wannbe, not Queen Bee. Her pampered ass does not get to say what camp life is like.
Strategery, Ho! They finally did one of those split vote things, which was nice. And for maybe the first time ever, a desperation vote against an ally had an effect on the immediate vote. Good on Alex, I guess. Prisoner's Dilemma in action.
But Backstab Boy might want to keep his mouth shut about other people's honor, or lack thereof. He gets to the final two ways: 1) he wins a whole bunch of consecutive immunities, or 2) he talks Stacy, Boo, and Dreamz into voting out Earl next ep. I don't think he can win all that many ICs. And talking up how the mean rats & snakes have mistreated him might queer his pitch with Stacy & Dreamz, who are the vermin in question, and Boo doesn't seem like the type to find whining persuasive. Especially since Cassandra, Earl, and Yau Man haven't broken any promises.
Boo's best move is probably to stick with C/E/Y and know he has to win the last couple immunities - given the jury pool, if he gets to the final vs one or two of them, Boo might take the money. (Be kind of funny if he did, since he's the last "white" person in the game. Kind of like Chris in Vanuatu was the last guy for the longest time, and won.)
