How could the bandwidth for a podcast of This American Life cost $120,000? Couldn't they just have Itunes host it?

Whoa thunderstorm. With hail. Cooled things nicely off, if making the power a little flickery. Now that the rain isn't going sideways, have all the windows open.
The bathroom is really noisy in a hailstorm.

Unfortunate phrasing on the radio: "Springer was allegedly killed in Iraq by someone..."
Surely he was actually killed. It may be a point of allegation as to who did it, but death of soldiers is pretty well into the factual realm.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am quite tired of rain and thunderstorms.(Got woken up this working by thunder, followed soon after by Nova meeping at the door)

Environment Maryland came around canvassing. Which is really funny because one of my neighbors works for them.

Stupid old apartment hasn't returned the 3 calls I made to find out what the hell is going on with my last check.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That always irks me. "The alleged killer..." Yeah, NSM. Maybe it was allegedly John Doe, but there was an actual killer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"The alleged killer" doesn't ping, because it's being alleged that Doe is the one. "Allegedly killed", though... nrrghg.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm guessing they are thinking of "alleged murder" which is different from alleged killing.

Because books.
Yeah, it should be, "...was killed, allegedly by [whoever]..."
