Literary festivals featuring Young Adult authors are clearly a hotbed of violence. Those kids today, you know.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

NCAA comes out swinging. $60 million in fines (1 year's revenue from PSU football), no bowl games for four years, all wins from 1998 to 2011 vacated.
They're also reducing the number of scholarships and giving current players a lot of flexibility - they can take their scholarship elsewhere, or, if I understand correctly, choose not to play but still keep their scholarship.

That sounds pretty weak, brenda. It’s a far cry from the death penalty they deserved.

Because books.
They talked about the economic consequences of the death penalty on the community, though, and not punishing people who had nothing to do with it.
You have to wonder how well the football program is going to do in the next few years anyway, though, in terms of game attendance, etc.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So a full day later, I am bothered by the violence in Kick-Ass. It only slightly struck me as I was watching it, but hit me later.
Also, f'in Monday. I just do not wanna at all.
I would like very much to bail on work, go grocery shopping and then make a clafouti. Clafouti would make things better.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Clafouti, clafouti, clafouti.
Contractors are here. I get to spend the next 3 days with very loud men speaking a language I don't know and roaming in and out of my apartment freely.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have the exact same experience when my father-in-law is staying here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss is out of town today.
I am not being terribly productive at the moment.
So, how much of an idiot is Tony Robbins?
Nearly Two Dozen Injured at Tony Robbins Seminar - NYTimes.com
Ms. Kaderi was one of nearly two dozen who were injured on Thursday, the first night of Mr. Robbins’s “Unleash the Power Within” seminar, which included a fire walk as a signature experience. She said she did not seek medical attention, but many of those hurt reported second- or third-degree burns, Capt. Reggie Williams of the San Jose Fire Department told The Associated Press.
A lot of victim-blaming here, including some by the victims.
