Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm working both options. Neither has given me results.

Aaaand my iPod just broke.

I'm going up to the roof to take a leap, now.

Thanks so much to the tweeters and linkers, by the way. So nice.

Art Crawl!!!

I think my apartment looks like I had a specific personal tornado.

I love that one of the things that the Post reported in their things to do in case of Earthquake was Stay Off the phone.

But everyone phones everyone when there has been an EVENT, right?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm the only one left in the office; it's OK for me to go home, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have a feeling the Chronicle headline tomorrow is going to look like something out of The Onion: "Earthquake hits East Coast. Populace in shock. Damage includes several pictures which are askew."

Heh, David.

I just got off a very long and boring telecon. Happily, I could sit at my desk and so I read the internets.

I suspect I'm coming down with something...

Because books.

flea, were you the one asking about this?

Clough, who's also an earthquake engineer, said the geography of the Eastern Seaboard helped transmit the shock from the Carolinas to New England. The underlying bedrock is largely a solid sheet, "so you get a lot more travel out of earthquake waves than you would in California," he said.

GM and Chevy are replying to me on Twitter that they'd be happy to help. So I replied that I called them for help, and they don't call back. Ever. I hate this, "I look like I care in public" bullshit.

Well, that's actually promising. You're embarrassing them in public, so they're more likely to do something about it.
