So, the guy who killed a cop and shot another (who just won some national award for awesomeness in community policing) on Tuesday is holed up in someone's house with 9 people there including kids and negotiating a surrender with the police. I hope to god it all ends up okay, and especially hope it ENDS - we've been dealing with the roving manhunt for 3 days. Also, people on twitter are depressing me with their #teamjamiehood bullshit. He is not a fucking hero, and it's not a race thing - the first cop he shot was black.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I remember the first time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, flea -- I hope that does end up OK, and soon.

Dana, who is critiquing your style choices? Doesn't he appreciate your shiny shiny hair?
I went to the gym and out to lunch and then I spent money. And no I'm exhausted. I think this is a good day off.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Dana, who is critiquing your style choices?
I did a side project at work. Kind of a mistake. But seriously, you're going to argue with me about whether there should be spaces surrounding em dashes?

I'm slightly confused. Are you meaning to link me to this?
Because if so, yes. Times a million.

No, I meant Parkinson's law of triviality.

Ah. That one also, times a million.
But I am clearly right and he is clearly wrong.

flea, hope it all turns out ok.
I got cash at the atm and freaked out over the balance, came home and checked and...state refund ALREADY. Fast. And somehow I think I have exactly $1 than the bank does, but I can't find it and I've balanced the last 2 months twice. So I'm just going to let them be right.
Really pushed myself at the pool and am feeling it now.
