Can I borrow B on Friday?

I'm using him Friday. Why?

Meh. I have to go to a party by myself. And it's a thing where you'd bring a date. Bleh.

Ack! I found my Mom arranged things so that I'm obliged to stay here through Friday morning, instead of a quicker getaway on Weds that I'd planned (and longed for). If I go, I don't get to see my sister in law or neice....

Target didn't have the blue Sudafed. I settled for the regular, but I will continue my quest to find the blue stuff. They still make it, so someone must carry it.

Dana, did you take the light blue, or the dark blue? I found a generic formulation of the dark blue at Walmart. Not sure about the light blue.

Kevin Kline is hot.

Oh, word.

I like your dedication, Allyson.

Kevin Kline ... mmmm.

and is that Linda Rondstat?

and is that Linda Rondstat?

Yes! Angela Lansbury is in that version too. Such a good production.

This is fucked up.

Nearly two hours passed between the time a Glencoe teenager fell to her death through the skylight of a North Side warehouse and someone called 911 to try to rescue her, according to witnesses and police investigating the weekend tragedy.

Jessica Savin, 17, died instantly in the fall after breaking through the glass pane of a skylight atop a carpet warehouse, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. But the friends she was with, who apparently did not know whether she had survived the fall, attempted to reach her over two hours without calling 911, witnesses said.

One of the teens begged witnesses not to call police, and at one point an adult woman was with the teens trying to find the girl, witnesses and police said.

...

He called urgently to Collier, who had remained at the border between the two buildings, and told him to call 911. Collier made the call, and while he was on the phone with a dispatcher, a small group of teens and a woman who looked to be in her 30s, came onto the roof from a building to the north, 1385 N. North Branch, Gilmore and Collier said.

They were carrying a length of rope, about 15 to 20 feet long, and the teen who had spoken earlier to Gilmore and Collier said he wanted to be lowered down to get Savin, Gilmore said.

Given that the rope was barely half the length of the 45 foot drop to the floor where Savin lay, both men warned against the idea.

An argument ensued between the men and the other group, and at one point the woman cursed at them for refusing to help with the rope, saying "We're trying to save a life," according to both men.

Gilmore and Collier said the teen they'd spoken to again begged them not to call 911, saying, "Please don't call the police, we're all [messed] up."

The fact that her drunk friends thought she might just be injured and didn't call 911 but instead tried to rescue her... they were more concerned about getting in trouble for underage drinking than trying to save their friend's life in a way most likely to work. And they thought some drunk kids could lower one of them on a rope and pick her up? And (since they were assuming she was alive) what were they going to do once they had her unconscious body?

Idiots.

Aw, I loved that Pirates of Penzance!

My boss is back in the office today. Boo.

Dana, did you take the light blue, or the dark blue? I found a generic formulation of the dark blue at Walmart. Not sure about the light blue.

Um. I didn't know there was more than one kind of blue. Probably light blue, though. Non-Drying Sinus, in a blue gelcap.
