That was a threat, right?
Sounds like one to me. I'm sorry your new place is so colorful.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I just watched the Taylor Swift bit of the reshowing of the VMAs. Taylor was adorable, totally stunned, got through about "Thank you, I really didn't expect this, I sing country music so I'm so proud to win a VMA..." before Kanye grabbed the mic from her. He gave it back when he was done talking, but it looked like she was crying by then. The audience realized and started cheering and shouting her name, but she just wouldn't finish and walked off the stage. And the camera cut to Beyonce in the middle of this, and she looked incredibly embarrassed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, Kanye wasn't so much poor impulse control as poor asshole control.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So there is a Situation in my new apartment building. Remember the guy who was playing loud music at odd hours? Well, I talked to him and asked him to stop playing loud music after 10:00 PM. Which he's done - he's been very nice about it and to me. But he sometimes makes odd, loud noises in the middle of the night. Like loud banging (door slamming?) and loud moaning/weird vocalizations and what-not. Usually just for a minute at a time, so I wake up thinking, "What was that?" and it's quiet again. For example, last night I woke up to what sounded like a cymbal being dropped down a flight of stairs. With the moaning and other odd vocalizations, I don't know what it could be besides some mental illness? But he sounds fine when I talk to him. (I see him around the building and neighborhood a lot.)
But there's another guy on my floor who's really angry at Peter (they guy below me) - he's been ranting about Peter being a psycho because of the noise. Also, Peter's dog is old and sick and today the dog defecated in the stairwell. So the guy just called the cops on Peter because of the noise. I left to go to the cafe half a block away and Peter followed me. Peter apologized to me, explaining that the guy hates him because of Peter's music.
I don't get it. So far I haven't asked Peter why he makes the odd loud noises and vocalizations at night. But so far that hasn't bothered me that much, like his loud music did (I tend to be a deep sleeper once I'm asleep).
Oh, and this is unrelated, but the angry guy said when he first saw me, I scowled at him. Obviously I didn't intentionally scowl at him, but sometimes people just read me wrong, and sometimes I apparently give people odd looks even though I don't mean to. Anyway, the guy's not mad at me for scowling at him.
Poor Kitty Gennovese notwithstanding, there is something to be said for New Yorkers' fabled ability to know fuck-all about our neighbors.

OK, rape jokes, not funny. At least, not the one that Russell Brand just told about Megan Fox.

I find Russell Brand scarily attractive. I'm glad I missed the joke. Because when I'm not finding him attractive he's usually crossing the line, usually with a mention of sex.

The joke involved roofies. There's no question that this was about rape, not sex.

Is he still mentioning his past sex addiction? He may be feeling the need to up the shock ante now that he's no longer in treatment for that.
