The legal requirements are different for proving public intoxication than for proving a person is driving under the influence, she said. The standard is not whether a person has a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent; it's whether the person poses a threat to themselves or others.

This is reminding me of the homecoming dance at my high school one year. A bunch of students had been drinking before the dance, and they were pretty obviously drunk. Everyone who seemed to be drunk was taken to the principal's office. Parents were called, and once the parents were there, each kid had to take a breathalyzer test. (They always did the tests in front of the parents.) One kid turned out to be completely sober, just acting like such an idiot that the teachers had assumed he was drunk.

So I saunter in to work this morning, only to find Annoying!Coworker trying to start my computer. The problems with this are multi-fold... I come in every morning at 8:30, so I was due in the door at any moment... even if she started it she couldn't get in because, duh, password protection... and what she was looking for wasn't even something that's on my computer.

Please, someone tell me it's a bad idea to knock her down and kick the crap out of her. Cause that was my first reaction.

It's probably a bad idea, Ailleann, unless you can get her to start the fight.

More Huh:

Actor Randy Quaid has reportedly taken legal action against the producers of Brokeback Mountain, saying he was duped into accepting less money for his work.

I've never heard of that before.

Yeah, because the creators knew a gay-themed indie film was going to earn nearly $100 million and just kept that from him. @@

Perhaps he should have opted for the thematically appropriate points on the back end?

Um, why am I reading news instead of working. Oh yeah, because it's funny and stuff. Tom Cruise makes you go barf awww [link] and OMG I can't believe they can have so much fun writing stuff. South Park spoilers in here. [link]

My list is long, but it's Friday and I don't wanna work.

It's a weird suit.

Anyone here still watching The OC? Or has watched in the past season and a half or so and doesn't mind a teeny spoiler? Because the Ryan/Marissa relationship has always struck me as pretty sexless, even after they consummated their tragic love. Yet, in this week's episode Marissa says that they never had a problem with the nookie, even when they were growing apart. Seth/Summer I believed were having sex offscreen --just never bought it with Ryan and Marissa as much.

ita, I am probably not going to buy that coat for you.

Perhaps he should have opted for the thematically appropriate points on the back end?

I had a similar thought. But I can also see why his lawyer might have brought suit.

I haven't watched in a very long time, but generally Ryan/Marissa turned me off of sex until I changed the channel. Sad because I thought it was fun first season. Then again, it was all about Sandy for me.

Gronk.

Had a shoot day yesterday in El Segundo. Today it's a shoot day, with a company move from the East side of Hollywood to Culver City.

Today is going to be a very long day.

Bah.

I stopped off at McDonnalds and picked up a Big Breakfast, then came in to work about 15 minutes late. Turns out a change I made to a stored proc last night had caused a program that supervisors use to approve employee timesheets to stop working for some supervisors. So I came in to panicky emails and mesages to call people and stuff. And my biggest concern was, "I gotta fix this before I eat my breakfast. Shit, my pancakes are gonna get cold!" I wanted to tell all the people who were complaining, "Have you ever eaten a cold McDonnalds pancake?"

Luckily, all I had to do (for now) was revert the stored proc....

Pancakes were still a little warm when I ate them....
