Having sat on the Stupidest Case Ever with no evidence but testimony, and inconsistent testimony at that, this article [link] saying that city prosecutors are dropping fewer pre-trial cases (due to better investigations supposedly) doesn't fill me with confidence. In 2006 (when I think I had the stupidest case ever) they were throwing out 1 in 3. And THAT one got through? Sheeit.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Who wants to write a letter for me?
My company is canvassing a neighborhood this weekend to gather support for a zoning variance on a building we just bought. It's been boarded up and vacant for two years and it is in a commercial district, but it's in a Named Neighborhood. We figure better the place inhabited even if it will be apartments (four at most, three if left as is) than just sitting there, forlorn and graffitied.
I'm to write a letter for each resident that is home on Saturday to sign saying they support our efforts and think the zoning board should grant us a use variance. Go! Write! I have smokey treat now.

Art Crawl!!!
I just got (another) call asking when Homecoming is. . . I told them that the Football office hadn't told us yet.
And then she complained that it was getting LATE.
So what? WE DON'T SET THE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.
Take it up with the Football Office, the NCAA and ESPN, people.

Isn't that Doc Savage?
You say that like it being Doc Savage would make the statement less true...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So, you wear your Damascus steel blade with your watered silk coat, and are divinely gorgeous and deadly, right?

ooh maybe natter people can help me! I'm trying to find some sort of theatre-related baby things for my actress friend whose baby girl is due mid-May. And she hates the Tragedy & Comedy mask image.
