Art Crawl!!!

Well, we had sirens -- they came on, I went down to the basement. They stopped, I came back upstairs. They came on again, I went down to the basement and again. Until 5:30.

And when it was done? The sunniest brightest weather we'd had all day.

Apparently, there are even more severe storms coming later tonight.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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

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

I don't understand people.

"You sent me email?"

Uhh, yeah. Also, I just called you about that email an hour ago.

Today has been a day of major inbox obtusiveness.

And also of migraines. I'm going home.

I think my building counts as a high-rise, so I can hide in the closet instead of the basement.

Anyway, it's all quiet at the moment.

I'm still at work and the clouds are clearing up downtown. The last bits of sun for the evening are poking through.

So, I'm watching Criminal Minds from whenever, and it's weird, after watching Dead Like Me all summer, to see Mandy Patinkin talking about Rules and the following thereof.
