It's all fun and games until you have to escalate to Legal.

I'm having a day.

I was just in meeting with a person who said "Oh we never reject applications. We just bury them under bureaucratic requirements until they withdraw in defeat." God, I love working for government. t /headdesk

So, that super-conservative new archbishop for San Francisco:

The Roman Catholic archbishop-elect of San Francisco was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, San Diego police said Monday.

The Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, a vigorous supporter of California’s same-sex marriage ban, was taken into custody after being stopped early Saturday at a checkpoint near the San Diego State University campus, said Detective Gary Hassen, a police spokesman. He declined to comment on whether Cordileone took a sobriety test.

Prince of a man, clearly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, my work week's half over. (We leave Wed. morning for Chicago)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, flea, I think you're good with your mention, then.

And you guys look cute, Kat.

I want a neighbourhood search engine. I want to be able to put in an address, and the application tells me "Oh, that's Barbican."
