Eh, Brazil and Portugal tied at 0-0 in a game that was played like a game where neither side needed a win.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm thinking burrito for lunch today. Yesterday I tried out a new-to-me Indian place and had to throw out most of it because the tikka masala sauce tasted like Campbells tomato soup.

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

I don't have the right sort of tees to wear under my wrap dresses. I don't think the cami is working, not with my primary wrap dress. I swear there's no cleavage showing, but it was just too busty for the office. Or something. Guys kept making conversation.

I'm trying to be more casual about cleavage outside the office, because they're mine, dammit, and I should really get over it. I suspect this may result in overcompensation of some sort. But this is LA. There is no cleavage I'm going to display doing errands that I'm not going to see matched and beaten on that same outage, probably by someone older. More plastic, perhaps, but that's the geography.

I wish I had a burrito option.

I think I'm going to have the expensive burrito. I may be done with Chipotle, due to overuse.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was just thinking I would go to Chipotle for lunch, since I still haven't been to the one across the street.

I brought my lunch and don't have any cash with me though, so maybe not.

Yes, that's why I recorded the Cote d'Ivoire game and picked a draw for the pool (yay--finally positive again). Still not convinced I should pick Spain for later today. That should be a good game.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Tonight, I am seeing two Christopher Durang one-acts

Which two? They are all fun, but some are enhanced by knowing a bit about the shows he is parodying- So if you are seeing Actor's Nightmare, I would make sure I knew a bit about the style of Shakespeare, Beckett, Noel Coward, and the play "A Man for All Seasons". For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls is enhanced by a basic familiarity with The Glass Menagerie, and A Stye in the Eye by knowing Sam Shepard's style.

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

Naked Gunman On I-80, Causes Chaos In Wyoming

A naked man armed with a gun caused chaos on a section of I-80 in Wyoming, ending with three people injured and the suspect under arrest, police said.

Armondo Cano, 26, of Moroni, Utah, was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of attacking several motorists on a desolate stretch of highway between Rawlins and Green River, according to a media release from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, which referred to the incident as a "bizarre series of events."

Shots were fired, vehicles were intentionally rammed and one person was cut with shattered glass before authorities were able to subdue the agitated and mobile suspect.

Highway patrol dispatchers started getting calls at about 9 p.m. Wednesday about a white car that had been "swerving all over the highway and had run off the road" about 33 miles west of Rawlins, the highway patrol said.

The driver of the car, later identified as Cano, got out of the car and ran across the highway several times in front of passing vehicles. Dispatchers than started fielding reports that the man was "standing out in the roadway and was wearing no clothes."

Before troopers could arrive, a nude Cano got into a fight with a motorist who had stopped. He then jumped into his own car and started driving east on the highway.

About 17 miles away, Cano "intentionally" rammed a vehicle with a couple from Cheyenne in it. When both vehicles stopped, Cano, still naked, attempted to get into the couple's vehicle. Meanwhile, a woman driving by who saw the crash stopped to help. Cano forced his way into her vehicle and the woman fled to safety on foot as he climbed into the back seat.

"Cano found a 9mm semi-automatic handgun in the female's vehicle and began firing it from inside the vehicle out the closed windows," the highway patrol said. It's unclear what, or who, Cano was shooting at, police said.

Meanwhile, the couple from Cheyenne, still in their vehicle, tried to drive away from the chaotic scene, but Cano jumped back into his car and began chasing them. He caught up and rammed the couple's vehicle once again, police said.

Still armed with the gun, Cano then drove about three miles down the highway, stopped, got out of the car and lay down in the road.

Several passing truck drivers and motorists stopped and Cano, now armed with a pipe, began breaking out windows of vehicles. A truck driver suffered cuts at this point, police said.

A trooper caught up with the rolling mayhem, attempted to take Cano into custody and a struggle ensued. Truck drivers helped the trooper wrestle Cano to the ground.

A Sweetwater County Sheriff's deputy arrived a short time later and Cano was put into handcuffs.
