I was on the road much of yesterday so the only parts I saw of the MJ thing was Sharpton and Brooke Shields (at lunch in an Applebee's), then a constant loop on CNN in the airport of their favorite moments. Brooke Shields sounded like she genuinely understood him and was a real friend. Too bad he didn't have more real friends and fewer leeches. The sad mess will continue to be featured on the news all summer.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I missed it all yesterday.
In exciting to me news, my vacations starts right around the time of Jilli's NYC book signing/tea party, so I'm going. Yay! I just have to do some schedule wrangling to see if I can pull off Friday night. We'll see...
In less exciting news, I have to go get ready for work now.

The Big Picture, Obama's first 167 days.
I find number 8 hilarious. It looks like a waiting room for, I don't know exactly.
The woman in the foreground of 29 is very cute.
These are the things that I picked up on, I'm shallow today.

From upthread:
Also, I've seen a lot of places that say "no security deposit." Huh. Is it because the supply of places is exceeding demand?
Definitely. A lot of people are turning their flip-houses/condos into renting property (last week, my next-door neighbors moved into a 2BR condo instead of another apartment complex), so apartments are getting creative to attract renters. For the first time since I moved here in 2006, my place didn't raise my rent when I renewed my lease. I've also heard that they are giving new tenants free satellite tv.

the whole MJ thing is making me almost glad I don't have TV these days (once I get my F2F bills paid off, I'm getting cable ... sigh). But I'm finding that I have trouble tracking which day of the week it is without my daily TV shows - oh dear.

I managed to avoid MJ news for the most part.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awesome!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
As far as "nothing wrong with their Daddy" there were pretty constant critiques of him as a freak well before and after anyone alleged anything illegal. He was a fag, he spoke like a woman, he was trying to be white, he tried to buy the elephant man's bones, his children aren't his children, he and his sister are the same person, and on and on and on.
I remember in 1984 or so, when I was three years old, telling people that Michael Jackson sleeps in a tank. I'm not sure where I heard it or what I thought it meant, but it was a prevalent-enough attitude that nursery school kids were aware of it.
