I have caught up and
1) I need a meerkat
2) I need a new tatoo (though not by a 6 year old)
3) I knew I'd been on my job for a year 'cause it's the anniversary of the thing. I get a raise, people still don't have houses.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

SAN FRANCISCO - A driver targeted pedestrians on both sides of San Francisco Bay with his sport utility vehicle, killing one man and injuring at least 13 people, authorities said.
A woman was talking about this at the Zam Zam tonight.
"He drove on sidewalks, streets, hit people on crosswalks. It runs the gamut," said Sgt. Neville Gittens, spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department.
Neville Gittens?! Neville Fucking Gittens?!?! Who would name their child that? And why would they become a cop?
Figures. Our most famous detective is a guy named Napoleon Hendrix.
Like that sounds real.
(Yet it is.)

If it makes you feel better, we may elect a governor named Kinky.

Yep. Our governor is mostly a figurehead anyway; so as Kinky says "Why not?"
Hey, my mom's friend is running for mayor of my hame town (she's very qualified, was a jounalist and worked under the last mayor.) She filmed several commercials at mom's house. That's gonna be bizzare when I go home. (One of them features the bedroom I sleep in).

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

I could see wanting some authority over others after growing up with that name.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's the whole 'Boy named Sioux' theory in real life.

H. Crap, I read this as Little Richard Greico.
Huh. Me too, and I never even questioned it until your post.
Kinky's still running? Right on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OMG so funny:
A little while ago I put together a little application on our phone system so that when a telemarketer calls in, I can transfer them to this extension and annoy the hell out of them. I thought about it a bit more and decided to make it a little more interesting, so I can get them to hold on the line as long as possible. Today I recorded a bunch of different voices sounding really interested in what a telemarketer would be offering. Have a listen:

What is even happening?
H. Crap, I read this as Little Richard Greico.
Me, too. I'm glad you posted this, bon bon, because I couldn't remember how to spell Greico's name, and was too lazy to go to imdb.
Jesse, if you get a foot cramp again, flexing the foot sometimes undoes it. Also stepping flat on the floor (not carpet, something cold, like a kitchen or bath floor) can help undo it.
Tom, what does he say on the recordings? I just spent last night and this morning getting rid of random Trojan virus files, and am too gun shy right now, to open the mp3.
