This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

YES. Only I had in mind more pleats, and a darker shade of red. I'm going for drama with this dress, but then again, most chances what you just posted will look wonderful on me, and it's a lot cheaper than I thought it'll be!

Jesus. Just off the phone with my sister. Apparently one of the members of the Milwaukee Symphony was murdered by her ex-husband after the concert on Saturday night. She was in the parking garage getting in her car and some friends saw the ex going into the building and called 911, but by the time they got up there he'd slit her throat. Fucking hell.

Oh dear.

In other news, I'm sitting out in my backyard with the laptop, and the new wireless modem that I bought is doing a fine job. And it's about 80 degrees, but low humidity AND there's enough wind to make it perfect, at least as long as you don't have paper or napkins to blow away.

Just so much ugh. Sis says that they had to take her out of a performance at half-time last season and have police escort her home because somebody saw the ex in the audience.

My sister's still sounding kind of shell-shocked - she talked to her at 10:30 Sat night after the concert, maybe an hour before this all happened. Says she was one of the most liked people in the orchestra, and in fact Sis had her lined up to chauffeur one of the visiting artists to the airport the next day, which made for a touchy phone call Sunday morning.

That's horrid, brenda.

I'm getting my new futon tomorrow. Which means I need to break down the old one tonight. After cleaning.

That's so horrible, brenda.

I never fail to be shocked by people who want to do violence to someone so much that they don't think or care about the consequences.
