Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I took a nap. It actually helped. Unfortunately, I have to leave for my concert in an hour.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I knew you were kidding. I was just commenting that we do talk about all that stuff and it's interesting.

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

Oh my. There's been a shot fired at the Johnson Space Center. No known casualties.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, no. There's something going on at Johnson Space Center, somebody shooting.

xpost. I'm watching CNN. They know nothing, basically.

Yeah, we've been watching on the local news. They don't seem *too* freaked, all things considered.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG you guys, our whole internet was down all day at work -- no email, no nothing. Ugh! And all the bosses were gone, so we all spent a lot of time standing around chatting. I did get a decent amount of work done, but still. Finally, my boss called in and said we could go at 4. So we did! The end.

Johnson Space Center update from CNN: one hostage dead, one released unharmed, shooter suicided. Good god.

I'm on three different breaking news e-mail lists, and yet I get the news first here 80 percent of the time.

I only knew about because my sister called me from the road and said she heard about it on the radio and wanted more info, so I turned on CNN. Her boyfriend is a VA Tech alumnus, and they've both been very upset over this. My sister's girls are at UVA, and that's... just way too close, somehow.

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

So what are people doing this weekend?

Tech. I have to go in super early tomorrow because the building closed at 4pm today (WTF?) and I still have to get power to my dimmer packs and focus the lights.
