And, this turned up in the paper a while ago. Shows just how EVIL someone can be.

I know the judge in question, and she's a sharp cookie. I'm surprised that this happened in her courtroom.

Timelies all!
Bleh. Nova decided to start meowing at 1 am. (Luckily she stopped soon after, so we could go back to sleep) It's been raining all day, and I have a bit of a sore throat.
Who put the Monday in my Friday?

I honestly can't feel any anger towards the judge - I WANT to, but...well, signatures as "proof of understanding, consent, or intent" are so 150-years-ago. How is any legal jurisdiction supposed to be able to prove that forgery ISN'T occurring? Hire an army of handwriting experts?
Absolutely horrible that it happened, and 99% of my empathy is reserved for the victim - but that judge is going to have some harsh eyes glaring at her for a while now, too.

All Philadelphia public libraries closing until the state legislature passes a budget that will give them enough money to run: [link] I'm pretty sure they closed all public pools this summer for the same reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Still looks wet in Flushing Meadows. What is with you people? Things need to get done!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's rainy! Also raining, generally.

That's so beside the point. You better not try and rain on Federer.
My health insurance company just called me to try and sign me up for an outreach program where a registered nurse will call me. I already have a nosy nurse who calls me and suggests things I've already tried--the only reason I even let her is because I was bored and I couldn't believe my insurance covered something so silly. Now they're trying to give me another one?
I guess I shouldn't be irritable with people suggesting things I've already tried--sometimes they will be things I haven't tried, and it could be something useful. When my father told me in such stern tones that I really should read the article on plastic surgery and migraines I felt I was letting him down by telling him I wasn't a good candidate since Botox hadn't worked on me, but even though the article had just been written it seems like no one has anything i new to say.
I'm even getting retread suggestions on OK Cupid. But I kinda asked for it with my user name. I just didn't want anyone to be able to tell me I pulled chronic migraines out of my ass as an excuse.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
How come you didn't qualify for the heart thing again? This came up on Mystery Diagnosis and I was trying to remember.
