All done with my chores!
I signed up for a season pass for Avatar on iTunes, and the new episode is up, but it won't let me download it. It's just sitting there, taunting me.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

how sturdy old VW buses were?
They were definately not built to survive the front end hitting anything. Or, maybe I mean to say that no one could have survived in the front seat if the front end hit anything. There was nothing between your legs and the front panel except a little air. They were built to last (the one in our family is still going) but I'm not sure they were crash-worthy. There are lots of clubs and things for them -- maybe one of those websites would discuss?

Not to mention if there's that kind of shenanigans in the rape case, he can sue too.
sounds like it wasn't shenanigans as much as incompetence. which is not to say that he wouldn't have grounds.

My point was, lots of people spend decades in prison for crimes they didn't commit, often due to prosecutorial misconduct or incompetence, and don't get $10 mil. apiece. Example: [link] Of course, lots of people aren't wealthy white college students with right-wing backing and very fancy lawyers.
Plus, in the Duke case, the lawsuit has stopped the city's investigation of what happened in the police department and the prosecutor's office, because of the possible liability. I feel like the lawsuit will cause *less* justice, not more.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Spent the day sanding kitchen cabinet doors and frames and boy, are my arms tired. Literally. Think they're gonna look pretty good when we're done, though.
Moving in two weeks! Have not yet begun packing! Have too many books!

Robin, do you need help packing? I could come over and help for a bit.

You are the sweetest, but no, we're okay. I am sorting everything into yard sale, move, and toss piles, so there is stuff piled EVERYWHERE and that makes me antsy.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I was walking the dog just now, and noticed a car that had... yellow tinted windows. And then I noticed that there was smoke curling off the front hood, like at the bottom of the windshield. And that it smelled of smoke.
Banged on the door, rang doorbell of the house it was parked in front: no response. So the guy two doors down called the fire department, and finally, just before they rolled up, the guy inside the house came out--apparently he'd been asleep.
I'm not sure if I saved lives, or even the car: I'm sure the interior was trashed. Weird experience.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is weird, Consuela. Good on you for being a good citizen though.
FNL: Sparky, I agree that I wish they'd focused on keeping the characters complex and not the plot. I agree with AmyLiz that hitting the guy, even twice, was in character for Landry given the circumstances, but not the reaction afterwards.
I also love the interactions between Coach and Grandma Saracen, and Coach and Tami, and Coach and Matt.
I mostly just like Coach, I guess.
