Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eeek. McKenzie Phillips reveals that she had a ten year long affair with her dad, John Phillips.

Yeah, that's incredibly creepy.

McKenzie Phillips reveals

Apparently he was also the one who got her hooked on drugs. Shot her up himself the first time (and screwed it up).

That is very disturbing.

Also, it really doesn't sound particularly consensual.

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

Good lord. I saw someone twitter something nonspecific like "how horrible about McKenzie Phillips!" and just assumed, you know, dead. I'm more horrified now.

She also said I'm a "top candidate". They can't make offers to more than one person at a time, right?

I don't think so, unless you decline or something hinky happens with the background check. They probably have to be cagey till that's through, and if they don't have a salary offer decided then... basically, she's telling you, you got the job, just sit tight till we get our shit together and can make you a formal offer.

That's my read on the situation, anyway.

ION, a student brought me a taffy apple and it was yum!

Oh, that reminds me--it's Dan's Caramel Apple time!! When Dennis Hastert was the Speaker, he would bring them to his fellow Congresscritters as a bribe/treat. They don't sell them after Halloween--I must go down to Joliet soon.

(They also make g-shaft candy. Childhood memories--yum!)
