Hecubus, you're a god among men, in case I've not said that lately.
I can't tell you how much I love those Johnny Angel columns. It's The Way Things Work in the land of crime.
Just reading that short Fixer piece about Matty the Mechanic tells you more about LA and the porn industry and gangs and prison life than a whole volume of police reports.
Pajama'd Jackson pises off judge: [link]
Dude, you're a defendant. Cut your hair, buy a suit, maybe some glasses...it's what defendants do.
Yeah, you're right, LJ. But I expect I'll get a hold of a Practical Homicide first.
(Picturing self on List for getting one from the library)
He showed up late because he had gone to the hospital for back pain.
I am terribly cynical, because I read that as "He needed a painkiller fix, and his personal physician wasn't being obliging, and too bad if it held up the business of the court."
The dude has not just issues, but subscriptions.
(OTOH, the family testifying against him seems really sleazy and dysfunctional. But being sleazy does not prove they were not abused, just as having subscriptions doesn't make Jackson guilty.)
I'm wearing pants that were getting to tight in the waist, using the rubber band trick. It isn't entirely working for me.

You could always go the MJ pajama route.
I bought a pair of black knit maternity pants early on. I pretty much made do with those and a pair of jeans 2 sizes too big for me normally until about a month ago.
Also a warning from my own experience- early on, I also bought some maternity jeans and regular pants, but at 6.5 months, they still don't stay up very well and you can't wear a belt. I don't know if everyone has this problem, but I only have 2 knit pairs and 1 pair of jeans that I can wear without constantly pulling them up.

Absolutely. I would not want to be on that jury. May they have extra wisdom to see through all the crap being thrown at them by the lawyers.
Pardon me. I just need a second here.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! STOOPIDHEAD ADMINISTRATION AND SCHOOL AND KIDS AND JOB IN GENERAL! AAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!! WHY WON'T SOMEONE JUST PAY ME FOR BEING COOL OR SOMETHING??!!??
Thank you. Nothing to see here. Move it along.
