Hey! That's kinda like my job!

cries for Allyson

I wonder if, when I drift off in meetings, they can tell when it's say, pain, or fantasies of dismemberment, or pretty man thoughts. I do try to nod assuringly at the right pauses, but someone called me on drifting off during a krav explanation, saying "This time it looked different." Yeah. So did he.

Uh... is it just me, or does this seem to be a specious question? They should have called in the police if they believed a crime had occurred (and I'm all on top of why the hell didn't they call the police?). But "let him in"... what, all US-born criminals become effectively Canadian when they commit a crime? They were right to "let him in". It very much seems as though they were wrong to let him go and not inform anyone.

As much as I'm not above taking the obvious shot at Homeland Security (because of its crock-of-shititude), that is the crux of the matter. This isn't the first time some obviously crazy person has bumped into border folks, had a weapon confiscated, been released, then gone off and killed someone, because the last time it happened, it happened in Canada. The border people apparently don't have access to the necessary information to know all the background on potentially homicidal-looking suspects, and they don't seem to have the connections or the jurisdiction to pass the word on to people who should watch the guy, and actually do something about his craxiness.

I suspect turf, but it is probably just systemic incompetence (as opposed to individual). The inevitable judicial inquiry or coroner's inquest will likely say the same things about better communication, blabla, as was said the last time.

Aargh.

Please tell me why I have a burning need to read the transcripts of the entire Season 3 of Roswell instead of, well , packing up the mountains of crap I have collected in three years.

I think I need to set a date for someone to come over and help me pack, so I can at least get this mess cleaned up.

I am also looking for a hairstyle for a wedding where my best friend Maria is a bridesmaid.

She is wearing the below, in chocolate, with a long skirt:

This is she--

and she has very fine, thin hair and an oval face

I can't get in to your friend's picture, but I liked this page [link] because it has before and after.

Hairdo- 5th row down on far right in the bride section- except instead of leaving half down I'd leave some artfully placed whisps.

Jon and NW- all the awwws and sniffles in the world.

Because you are me. I apologize. And, you really should get cracking on that personal statement.

Thanks Heather and Jesse.

My BF Maria's brother John is getting married on labor day, and I am a) doing alterations on Maria's dress, the flower girl dresses, and potentially the bride dress; b) keeping an eye on her daughter (the flower girl) and potentially the neice (another flower girl) and ;c0 I seem to be in charge of Maria's hair.

However, when I just lost my apartment, she spent 2 days calling and setting up appointments for me, and presented them to me with a map of where to go.

It is great to have friends.

That's a good friend.

For one of my friends' weddings another friend and I ended up doing last minute alterations on dresses. I suppose I got stuck with it because I had the machine and Cyn because she seems like she was born knowing how to do that stuff. 3 dresses in I hit the duct tape like a crackhead hits the pipe.

It's somehow especially nice when you can be good friends to each other right in a row like that. Nice!
