It is very sad that you get out to my mom's house more than I do. Next time toss a rock into her yard with a note rubberbanded on telling her that I'm still alive. Or trapped in the internet.

I hope to be back out there the second weekend of October, or at least in November. Send me a pdf of what you want tossed.

Kudos to reporters and editors that publish people's crazy ass comments under their full names.

Clearly. This is SO the best part of that story.

How do you live in LA and be paranoid about loss of power?

I think a lot of people in LA are paranoid about everything.

As I said to mother today, "If we ever had a real blackout here? People are totally hitting the gun shops and barricading themselves in their houses."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

From the LA Times site:

52. The power went out and I had to stop working. I ate lunch. The power came back on and I didn't tell my boss. Then I wrote this.

We'd just make a run on the stores and buy up all the milk, toilet paper and bread. It's our response to everything.

Mostly lurking...

You are a girl.

I know. And a girl just helped me. Turns out I actually knew what I was doing, but was just making it more difficult than it really was.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I've been so broken and jaded by the LAUSD, that when the power went down, I assume it was only school wide and continued teaching. Cause it could have been just my building. Who knows?

Power outtages have become unfaxeable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Wait, is that your coworker Matt, Robin?

ION, I hate UPS. Hate. I have no idea how I'm going to get my textbook, and it's not my fault. I'm on hold now trying to modulate my tone so I don't flip the fuck out all over the next person who picks up the line.
