My one experience caslling 911 after seeing a crime led me to realize I could identify the gun (esp the fact that, dude, yes, gun) better than the suspect.
"Can you indetify the person?"
"Biped. Probably? There was a gun. I can describe that. I think the thing carrying it was a person. Ran like a biped?"
Useless.
Just tried to casually make dinner reservations for tonight. Blissfully ignorant. I finally found some but it took until well after I'd called dad boggled that we realized it's Restaurant and Hallmark Holiday. I totally hadn't paid attention. Tomorrow is likely going to be the lowest key, lowest brow. Maybe cheeseburgers. I like cheeseburgers.
Burgerville.
It's annoying me that the cop who closed it out never noted what the weapon actually was. One of my coworkers suggested a discus. I tried describing a hacksaw to the caller, thinking maybe that's what it was (first she said semicircle, then 2 semicircles together to make a circle.)
Maybe it was an industrial size pizza cutter.
What is your favorite pairing of fictional character and inanimate object?"
Love it.
Okay, I'm off. Given what the shop owner has said, I'm not particularly cheerful, but will bring my best game. I'm already just chalking it up to experience.
Feh. I'm missing the Firefly w&p for this?
I just google images mezzaluns and i NEED one of those. Posthaste.
Yeah, now I'm picturing someone threatening me with some klingon-type weirdo circular axe...hmm.
am also deciding if I need to Spend All The Money, and buy a DSLR. Which I've been wanting, but have no skillz to use. Or if I should just go with a similar-to-my-broken-one cheapo basic camera for under $200. hmmm.
Thanks for the ~ma, y'all. I suspect I'm going to be stressed until I know something on Tuesday. Kitty continues to act as if nothing is amiss so I'm going with that.
meara, I'd love a DSLR. I suspect a good camera could aid in lack of skills. Scola might know a good one. He takes great pics.
