I am grumpy because this list: [link] doesn't indicate how the arrests/investigations/court cases went. Some of those guys, maybe all, were guilty. But I don't even know how many were found guilty. I can get my knickers in a twist about the no contests, but not about all the rest.
It winds up being apples to oranges. Chris Brown was not only beyond any reasonable doubt guilty, but the woman he beat the crap out of was as famous as he was, if not more so. If she'd just been his nameless, less famous girlfriend, then I don't think it would have got even half the press it did.
It's a hell of a lot more complicated than just race here.
Jesse- have you recieved this for Good Things? [link]
Reason umpty-billion I love my Tumblr peeps: I just asked them to please explain what the hell this "Soft Grunge" tag/movement/
thing
is, and so far all the answers I'm getting are,
"We don't know, and it's probably bullshit."
This makes up for some of the babygoths trying to stir up drama and start scene wars. Bless.
Did Kate P's husband ever make it home?
He did, yay! Apparently they had *just* closed the door to the plane when he arrived, and then another person ran up behind him also needing to get on the plane, and the gate agent kept saying no, until a third person came racing up, at which point the agent gave up and let them all on. Phew!
Since then, we have been working our asses off getting the new house ready and the old house packed up. JFC, I hate moving. Thank god for an understanding boss who let me take off way more time this week than I'd anticipated.
I am tired like a tired thing, but after work tonight I am driving to OKC. Mac and me in a hotel woohoo - adventure time, trying to get him to relax into the idea of a vacation.
Woohoo! Do you need recommendations for places to go? Uh, although mostly what I can tell you about OKC is which few restaurants have some decent veggie options, so perhaps not much help, but I'm happy to share the little I know!
If she'd just been his nameless, less famous girlfriend
Sean Penn and Madonna don't count as famous? Didn't Charlie Sheen shoot someone not unfamous?
Jesse,
would you be interested in some really good photos of the space shuttle flying by for Good Things?
Kate - I do not need any OKC help. We are there for a Saturday party for a 12 year old. We will get in tonight - veg out with fancy cable and then see the friends tomorrow. If we have anything other than fastfood and free hotel breakfast I will be shocked. driving back home tomorrow night. easiest peasiest little overnight trip ever and mac still has anxiety.
Sounds good, msbelle. I hope it goes well! Vegging out with fancy cable sounds like heaven right now.
...Fuck, I just realized we haven't made an appointment to set up cable/internet at the new house. Internets, please don't leave me!
I just realised the reason this developer wouldn't take me seriously and help me crunch the numbers was a) he's using Notepad and b) Space shuttle (we had a view).
So...I missed seeing it, and THE MEETING'S NOT EVEN AT 1 SINCE MY BOSS'S CALENDAR IS FRELLED!
On the up side--I do get lunch now.
