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

Remember the Colorado psychic who got arrested on some financial scam?

Dear god, some people are stupid!

Colorado psychic arrested for telling clients their money was possessed by evil spirits

Nancy Marks, a psychic from Lafayette, Colorado, was arrested for fraud after telling clients their "money [was] evil" and that she'd take their cursed cash so "the money would suffer" instead. Marks made at least $290,000 using this scam.

Marks - who runs a psychic reading business creatively named Psychic Readings - warned victims that malicious spirits were haunting their bank accounts and that she would take the evil assets off their hands. Her scam would've continued had a whistleblower named Linda not contacted police.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

javachik - HAHAHA I wish. We edit xml files. Let me just go on record saying that xml is shit for both editing and layout. Why we use it, I do not know.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia! Big Bang is coming!

I can't wait!

Sophia, SPN has lots of long fic. And I totally wanted someone else to suggest that before me. Sigh. That's what I get for websurfing at the gas station.

I stopped reading SPN because I stopped watching, but I think I may eventually watch and I don't want to get spoiled. I have read a lot of RPS for that and LoTRPS, and even some Merlin, although I have only watched the show once or twice.

The problem is that a read realy fast-- so even something long, like Fay's Invisible to see, or Lust over Pendle or what have you, is only going to take me about 1 1/2 busrides. So I go through one-parters like crazy. And when I was reading Agatha Christies on the bus, I could read 2 a day. The Happiness Project, which I was really paying attention to and thinking about, took me 3 rides (3 hours). And I also read on my lunch hour. So, a lot of things to read.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A con artist named Marks? How confusing.

Sophia, do you want recs from me and Ailleann for bandom? Or do you think you've covered it all?

I think I may have read everything that was ever written about Panic, MCR and FOB. At least twice. But thank you!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Which includes a table of contents printed in subject order but NOT in pagination order.

...

I no longer think I work for the most fucked-up journal.

And articles published on-line and *paginated* months before the printed volume goes to press.

God DAMN. That makes NO sense. NONE. We publish the articles online 4-6 weeks before the print journal goes out, but those aren't paginated, and once the print journal goes out, those online articles ("Ahead of Print," we call them) disappear from the site and get replaced with the paginated files.

We edit xml files. Let me just go on record saying that xml is shit for both editing and layout. Why we use it, I do not know.

And I've reached a whole new level of gobsmacked. SRSLY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

XML? For reals?

I boggle.

I think I may eventually watch and I don't want to get spoiled.

Aha. Well, if you ever need the Dean/[spoiler] hookup, I'm your girl. Just saying.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Maintenance fixed my garage door and I swear they used a whole can of WD-40. It smells so aerosol-ly and oily. I left the garage open a few inches to try to air it out. But the smell is in the apartment too. Blech. Headache inducing. Do not want.

Yes, I'm whining. Just ignore me.
