Dick Clark has died.
Hands up: how many people thought he was already dead? (I don't mean "zombie Dick Clark, durr hurr hurr" jokes; I mean really thought he was dead.)
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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

Not me. I figured he was either not human or had sold his soul in exchange for never getting old. So my first reaction was, "Huh, I guess he was mortal."

I kind of thought Dick Clark would live forever. In a "possibly he's mostly plastic by this point" sort of way.
I finally got my list of sites! A little intimidating, because there are TWENTY of them, which is a lot more than I'm used to. However, only half of them are up and going, so we'll see how many I end up needing to visit frequently.
Bad news, no sites in SF.
Good news, eleven of them are in the LA area--I'm definitely thinking F2F shouldn't be a problem! Three are randomly in the middle of California (Santa Maria and Santa Barbara), and then one in Salt Lake, one in Wenatchee (pain to get to) and two in the Seattle area (whew!). And one I probably won't ever get to go to in Hawaii (my boss now lives there, and apparently they have her do anything that crops up in Hawaii!)

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 have an interview on Monday for a job I'm qualified to do, but it requires a polished sort of person.
I don't think I'll get it, and will likely humiliate myself in some way during the interview, but hey, they called me, right?

When I heard Dick Clark had died I thought, "So that's where Cheney got his heart from."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthdays, beth and bonny!

I saw him do a cameo on last year's New Year's Rockin' Eve. He looked and sounded like death warmed over -- like he'd had a stroke and recovered only 85-90% of his speech ability.

I knew Dick Clark could be propped up and could make somewhat understandable sounds, because they propped him up for about 10 minutes New Year's Eve. It was pathetic.
I wonder if they found the painting in the closet.
