I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I meant the exit to the store, Dana.

Oh, got it now. Sleep, how I miss thee.

Although I am actually posting from inside IKEA. I didn't tell you guys? The display beds are pretty comfortable, and my JOHANN computer desk is so space-saving and ergonomic.

I don't think we have IKEA.

Amish people, yes. IKEA, no.

There may be a correlation.

Yikes, my post got et.

I didn't realize that this software automatically filtered out unfunny jokes. Sophisticated!

Sad news--the radio just announced that Jerry Orbach (Lenny Briscoe on L&O, amongst many other roles) has died from prostate cancer.

Dude! That makes me sad. He was Teh Awesome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It seems like he was just diagnosed too recently to already be dead.

IIRC, he had been in remission for a while after an earlier bout, and the recent diagnosis was that the cancer had come back. Le sigh. Sad either way.

Oh, no, that really sucks.

In other news, a public service announcement to the City of Chicago:

STOP SETTING SHIT ON FIRE!

You'd think this city, of all places, would be able to keep that in mind.

Another blow for Donald Trump (he owns that building).

Trump wants to tear it down and put a skyscraper in its place. He probably set it himself.

STOP SETTING SHIT ON FIRE!

So Chicago's basically a Big Ten campus after winning a NCAA championship? Minus the tear gas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's in the process of being torn down now.

eta: Also, Wabash is the coolest street name ever.
