Always Anti-fascist!

I want to see it. But I think I just want "The Wire" back really really badly.

hip deep in pie

So that's why Canada was building all those giant coldon particle emitters....

Oh, god, were there such a thing...NO MORE WINTER EVAH!

Our wings are not tired.

Ebert and Whosit gave it two thumbs up.

Hadn't seen that. The reviews I have seen are various newspaper reviews. They often have negative reviews, but these were unusually mean.

Miami Herald - "50 Cent joins da club, but he's miles short" San Jose Mercury News - "50 Cent can't bring his story to life" Detroit Free Press - "Get rich a poor debut" Globe and Mail - "50 Cent flick not worth two bits" Seattle Times - "Legend of 50 Cent loses luster on big screen"

and so forth. Part of my deal with the kids is that I will read the reviews before I just say no to movies they want to see. Often the reviewers are uncomplementary, but this time I was surprised with how nasty they were. (It wasn't like they really had any chance of going, but I feel I have to back it up with reasons)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Canadians are sending the cold air, which is why theirs is warmer. All the cold particles (shh, don't confuse me with science) are sent to the USA.

This is the only possible explanation.

We had crazy thunder and lightning last night when I should have been asleep, but now it's kind of nice out, if cloudy and windy.

Baltimore is living up (down?) to its reputation. The lastest crime wave? Streetlights are being stolen in broad daylight. Pole and all. 130 of them. [link]

The verdict on the new showerhead is that it spits. Replacing it tonight. It took me forever to get the shampoo out of my hair. A dollarstore squirt gun would be more effective. Shower was twice as long.

I have to snag a log in before I can read the article. We've been having light poles replaced all over town, perhaps the thieves are selling them to us.

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

Light pole Robin Hoods?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

OMG.

A grant that I've been working on is due today. It involves our partnership with another city organization that works with low-income teenagers. Yesterday at 5:15pm, the guy in charge of the other org calls our Education Director (who had already left for the day) and says "I just talked to one of our board members, and I think we may be applying for the same grant, so I'm not sure we can partner with you after all." What. the. fuck. am I supposed to do now?

Stab someone.

And I speak as a seasoned fundraising professional.

He thinks! And it's due today. Yeah, stabbing seems about right.
