I'll be getting cat food tomorrow! And trying to return the busted hard drive, and getting a replacement, and then trying to replace all my lost music files! Such fun that I'm almost vomiting!!!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Man dressed as The Joker gets Dutch national ID card.
A Dutchman dressed as the unpredictable master criminal The Joker from Batman managed to get himself a national ID card, despite supposedly stringent new rules which outlaw grins, funny faces, and head coverings from passport pics.
To avoid confusing facial recognition scanners, travellers in Europe have been ordered not to look too happy in their passport photographs. Eyes must also be open and clearly visible, and there must be no sunglasses, tinted glasses, or hair across the eyes. In the Netherlands, these rules were introduced last August.
But a 35-year-old man from the Dutch town of Hellevoetsluis decided to paint his face black and dress up as Batman's goofy trickster-thief rival and was astounded that his new appearance was accepted without a hitch. Initially, the man was asked not to wear a hat, but when he argued it was because of religious beliefs, he was allowed to leave it on.
The incident has stirred quite a controversy among Dutch politicians. Interior minister Johan Remkes now has to explain how this could have happened. "We don't think there are many people dressed up as clowns in this country," his department said

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
G is off doing some CD rehearsal(he's in the process of recording a filk CD, a bit at a time) tonight, so I will order in some Chinese food and watch the Eddie Izzard DVD I have from Netflix.
Tomorrow there will be actual recording going on here, so I will run around doing errands(including trying to sell a large number of books to the used bookstore) for a good portion of the day.
I have no real plans for Sunday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
