I had masses of prison labor to crunch out this morning and then two early-afternoon meetings because OMG EVERY ONE OF MY USERS sent me that "oh, I'm leaving town on June 1, so can we meet THIS WEEK?" email like, two days ago.

All of which means that there was no way was I going to take today off, but then it completely died dead dead dead as soon as the last meeting was done. Srsly, I'd rather have just had the day off and no "must do this before I go to Paris for two months".

Comment on the Jack the Ripper story:

Well it's nice to see Leo Johnson going back to school to try to get something better than driving a big rig.

He's calling himself the Crossbow Cannibal

If you have to give yourself your own moniker, you're not even a cool serial killer. For shame.

Wait, we're back to cannibalism? He's gonna give it a bad name.
