Timelies all!
Glad all the LA-istas are ok.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I just stumbled across this clip from a hilarious show from England called Have I Got News for You, hosted by a rather profane Brian Blessed, one of my all-time favorite Brit actors ("Quintilius Virus, where are my eagles?!!!"), and co-hosted by Paul Merton. It looks like a Brit Daily Show, so I don't get many of the local news references, but I just love watching Blessed at his roaring best.

Got my hair cut. I think it's even shorter than when I got all the long hair cut off.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Paul Merton? He of the twiglets and the Party from the Brit Whose Line? Love him! Of course a profane Blessed is wonderful. And though I can't quote back at you, Kathy, I did get the ref.
ETA: Eeek, Dana! End of an era. How do you feel?

I'm gonna need pictures. It's like you and shrift are having a race towards Shortest Haircut after dallying with waist length for decades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just watched those "never talk to cops" videos. They're pretty amusing and worth watching but it boils down to:
- even if you didn't do whatever they're concerned about at the moment, there are so many laws that there's no way you can be sure that you didn't do anything wrong.
- if you're totally innocent and don't incriminate yourself in any way (even accidentally), that doesn't guarantee the cops will recall your conversation accurately.
- there is absolutely no way it can help you. He specifically explains that the "anything you say can be used against you" thing does not work both ways -- what you told the cop at the time can implicate you, but it can't be used in your defense.
The officer's reasons are simpler:
- people are stupid.
- the police are better at asking questions than you are at answering them.
The funniest part is in the officer's segment, when he asks (as an example) if anyone ever broke the speed limit, and when people raise their hands the lawyer starts shouting "What did I just say about talking to the police?" Which leads to him saying, "People are inherently honest, and that's their downfall."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I have this itchy and unattractive rash on my legs. I just realized I should probably take benadryl, but I don't have any. What I do have is generic claritin. Would that do anything? I may try that in the morning -- if I take it now, I'll never sleep tonight. Argh!
