Aw, crap -- Richard Jewell, who was falsely accused in the Atlanta Olympic bombing, died at age 44 today. I feel particularly bad because he really was a hero -- his timely action moved a lot of people away from the bomb and easily saved dozens of lives, and instead he got screwed over by law enforcement and the media. He deserved to live many more years, vindicated.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Headed out for a toast to the city with some other Louisianians and those who love us.
See y'all later.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Didn't Jewel just get a big settlement from a TV network? Hope he had time to enjoy it....

The guy who did set the bomb in Atlanta (Rudolph) also blew up that Birmingham clinic. I'd forgotten that. I've now been by the clinic since my brother parks next to it every day.

I shouldn't be worried about my friend who's 8 months pregnant and hasn't returned my calls in two days, should I? Someone would have called if she had the baby, right?
Also, Air Canada is having a sale, and I can't afford to go anywhere. It is killing me. I really need a vacation.

Also, after watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (it was on TV) and Children of Men (on DVD) on consecutive nights, I dreamt that I was pregnant with Alan Rickman's child and he was travelling in a ragtag touring production of Harry Potter.
