Geez, did somebody break the internets? I am having so much trouble. And I never have trouble that can't be solved by a quick unplugging and replugging of the modem and wireless box. It's pissing me off.

Yay for impending princessness. Smooth sailing thoughts heading west.

A little creeped out now. We just received a recorded message from the local city police department advising people that a sexual predator has moved into the neighborhood. Gave the man's address and name. Advised that vandalizing the property would not be tolerated. We looked him up on the state database for such things and sure enough he moved 2 days ago just a few blocks away.

I didn't even know they did this kind of advisement. Bad ass apparently. Convicted of sexual assault of a minor under 12. Yikes.

God, Laura.

We usually get a letter from the sheriff's office. It's scary to look them up on the internet, too--the mugshots are usually pretty damn freaky, not to mention the details of their convicted crimes.

This guy is absolutely normal and not at all creepy looking; I'd even say attractive. He is only 5'3" and 150lbs, so I don't think he would approach my oversized children. I know what everyone in my neighborhood is going to be talking about this weekend.

Geez, did somebody break the internets?

Intermittent problems here too--pages not loading or loading slowly. V. annoying.

I'm having much slowness, too.

Not just me, then. OK. Not that other people having trouble makes me happy. Just, you know, less singled out for persecution by technology.

Laura, that's scary.

What a glorious evening. I took a long walk and ran errands. Came home to find 4 boxes full of books out in front of the building up for grabs. I only found 2 I wanted, but there were a ton of hardcovers and tons of gay studies books. sad to see books in the trash.

Man, that's creepy. On both ends. (The Laura thing, I mean. I forgot to refresh.)
