OMG you guys. This is brilliant. I'm at an outdoor concert for the Bastille Day festival. The singer, a jazz singer in the Edit Piaf vein, is filming the show for a concert video. And a homeless man, all bundled up in 95 layers and carrying big bags, just came and plopped down right in front of the stage and is lying on his back conducting along. He's clearly having a grand time, and consequently so am I. I'd take a picture but it feels rude.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh. In local news.
That's awful, Cashmere. And I want to smite the living fuck out of two of the three commenters on that article. Two young, barely out of college men who are practically still kids are abducted, chained in a basement with their chains rigged up to shotguns pointed at their heads, and sexually assaulted, and people are making cracks about Silence of the Lambs and a possible boost to local tourism? Scum.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some people just... I dunno - have no empathy? Don't think about what they say?

Was it here that we were talking about those school programs where cops come in and announce that a classmate has died but it turns out to be a horrible, fake "scare 'em straight" tactic?
I think those cops should be visiting Kat's students to scare the ever loving shit out of them, because those kids actually deserve it.

From Cashmere's link:
"They better have more than a couple of statements that they can't prove," Kryshak said.
Yeah, I think the authorities finding one kidnapped guy chained up naked in your client's house after the other one escaped and alerted them is going to fulfill the burden of proof, Perry Mason. Well, that and your client's statement to police that he knew what he did was wrong.

I canceled with the skeevy recruiter tomorrow, but I still have two interviews Friday, two concerts this weekend, and at least one interview per day M-W next week.
When I'm unemployed, I swear that every week seems like a month.
Starving now. Perhaps I shall make tacos and then watch a documentary on fonts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Helvetica? It's excellent.

Yep. Netflix Instant Watch is somewhat addictive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'd take advantage of Netflix's Instant watch, if it worked on my computer.(Of course, my connection's probably too slow anyhow)
