I guess it's too much to hope the crazies stay in bed today.
Yes, it is too much to hope for. They're staging a protest, and bringing their guns.
No, really.
eta: Correction: Protests. Plural.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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

Yeah, there's a protest on the Virginia side of the Potomac today, with everyone bringing their guns to show that they have guns, or something. There's also a protest on the DC side of the river, but because DC has different open carry laws, that one is without visible guns.

Punishingly Intricate
It's my sister's birthday, so we're all well aware. I generally spend this day crossing my fingers that nothing else happens to give her even more of a complex.
And my Mom's b'day. Also the day my grandfather, her dad, died.
We were together in SF for her b'day when Oklahoma City happened. She was like "REALLY??!! Why today?!"
She seems to be okay now with celebrating her b'day despite it sharing all the sad anniversaries, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yes, it is too much to hope for. They're staging a protest, and bringing their guns.
What the hell is wrong with these nutjobs? Okay, you hate the gov'mint, whatever, but why on earth would you want to IDENTIFY yourselves with Waco and Oklahoma City? That's beyond crazy. I don't even know what that is.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I want to bring a banana to an armed protest. Possibly dressed as Dr. Who. Ok, actually I want to stay as far away as possible from an armed protest, but IN THEORY.
Trying to get a lot done today - update with boss in 45 and have some ducks to get in a row.

yes, and it's right near the airport, so TSA is going to have a field day!

Bill Clinton wrote an op-ed in the Times today that pretty much amounts to, "People, please, calm down. Please." [link]

Winscape: Convincing Fake Windows for Cubicle-Dwellers
Cool - it tracks the person looking at the "windows" and changes the "view" as they move about, creating the illusion they're real windows.

A guy I know - the father of one of Casper's friends at school - is running the Boston Marathon today. And they have an online tracking system, so I can see how he's doing! (Okay, apparently he hasn't started yet, which given the numbers is not too surprising I guess.) He's 52 and way fitter than I ever have been or ever will be, sigh.
