If a call is to be made today, it should happen in the next 6 minutes.
Or so. My computer's clock is ahead of the board clock. Hm.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So eye gouges: a good idea if you can reach?
PCP is angel dust, isn't it? I know a former police officer who had to beat someone to death in his squad car when the guy—strung out on PCP—tore his hands out of the handcuffs and started attacking him while the car was in motion. We don't try to get him to watch when 28 Days later is on television.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Always. Assuming the threat level has escalated to permanent damage. Not often useful in bearhugs from behind, though.
Well, in the category of "also not a good sign" the Michoud number doesn't answer -- no voice mail, no answering machine, no people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The phone service is probably still really scattered. My parents' cell phones aren't entirely reliable yet, and I have no idea what's up with land lines.
It's also possible that they simply don't have the employees to man the place, even if the owner is back in town. Most business that are open are running on reduced hours because their employees haven't all returned. They don't have any place to live.

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

Listening to the Pinky and the Brain theme in German is a lot more fun than working.

The Michoud location is closed.
Also not a good sign.
The former manager is taking people by on an appointment basis to look at their rooms. Not the worst sign, but not a good one either.
My migraine's back, and my remaining meds are in the car.

The video in the Editorial Reviews of Al Franken's book (The Truth with Jokes) is pretty funny.
