A Bargain for Frances was always my favorite. Thelma got what was comin' to her...

Or happend anywhere as often as athlets have clamed?

Hell no. I can't imagine them being that damned naive. Jones is going to prison because she's dumb, pretty much.

I don't know what it wrong with people today, but the bathroom is in a state.

And people keep asking me to do things that are dumb, and then when I have to ask other people to do dumb things, they are all "please clarify?" and I don't know what to say other than, "Fuck if I know! It's dumb!"

and broke - the article used the word "squandered" re: her advertising fees. Which is sad on two counts - she's got young kids, and she really, really, really screwed up across the board. I don't know why, because usually I'm very 'that was dumb, dumbass.' but this time, I feel sorry for her. possibly, if I knew more about what went on, I could change my colors back to their usual shade of noir.

What -t said, and Trudy emphasized, Scrappy. You should mention it -- if she's been through rehab three times she's had worse accusations AND if she did slip, it will be impossible to tell herself that she got away with it without anybody noticing....

There was a Canadian rowing team who had their medals stripped after one of them took OTC cold medicine from a trainer w/o bothering to check it further. That's about the only one I can think of that I believe was pure stupid, rather than "wink wink nudge nudge" stupid, a la Jones, Clemens, etc.

Did someone unleash the monkeys and chimps in your bathroom too? That's a common occurence here.

Man...I can't get test monkeys anywhere around here, but you guys got 'em in your friggin' latrines!

The universe, she is unfair and unbalanced, monkey-wise.

Today is "prim" day, chez moi. The months of inactivity mean I've lost enough weight to fit into the long grey wool skirt, so that forced me to wear character shoes and a crisp (dusky rose) shirt, and I have my slightly cats eyes reading glasses with pink highlights. Garters and stockings with more pink highlights.

I don't get why people are surprised I do pink. Such narrow minds (but as a teacher pointed out, those narrow minds often come with wide stances, all the better for kicking them in the groin).

This is kinda' cool, and the pictures are somewhat less gross than one might imagine: Urban Wildlife Games: Hawk 1, Pigeon 0

Yesterday I noticed a group of people standing in a circle on Mission Street in downtown San Francisco. "One of our amusing drunken homeless people must have fallen over," I thought to myself. To my surprise, however, I poked my head through the circle to find a northern goshawk (at least I think that's what it was) tearing a pigeon to shreds in the middle of the sidewalk.

Apparently the hawk had swooped down only seconds before my arrival, snatched the pigeon, and was now totally content to spend the afternoon in the...

...middle of an extraordinarily busy San Francisco sidewalk, directly in front of the entrance to salesforce.com (a massive tech company) eating its meal. Businessmen and women, bicycle messengers, tourists, hipsters, and even two policemen stood by snapping Blackberry pictures of the raptor. I even overhead the policemen say that that they couldn't wait to include this in their weekly department newsletter.

edit for clarity....
