Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Pix and Maria!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent, Scrappy! Are you applying for another job in HR? How's family? How's foreign?
I understand they're terrified, but stop shooting at everything that moves!
It's not like the LA police are the most confidence-inspiring people with guns to start with, and whoa. Now that they are taking it personally, it feels like they're not here to protect us--they're here so they could get guns and leeway to protect them.
I randomly stopped on Paul Williams Still Alive and I can't look away, because this is the most fatuous, neurotic, self-involved documentary I've ever seen. Apparently you need to buy into the myth of Stephen Kessler first. The information about Paul Williams is pretty scant. Why would I want to see the film maker's feet in front of the film maker's TV in the film maker's hotel room while Paul Williams is...I have no idea where he is...?

Gah, going through old files (who keeps files for twenty years?), and finding PIECES OF CANDY is really disgusting.

I was going through the old card catalog at the Pennsylvania Historical Society and found cigarette butts. I hope they were out when they were stashed.

I just found out tonight that my neighbor's aunt was one of the surviving first grade teachers at Sandy Hook who hid her kids. My god.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The LA stuff is really freaky. I have more than one friend who thinks that the guy is absolutely telling the truth and the only thing the LAPD cares about is killing him.

Okay, attempt number four is nigh. Wish me travel-ma.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Fingers crossed, Sue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Sue! Good luck with actually getting off the ground and out of the country this time.
Good luck, Scrappy! Good luck with having them recognize your awesomeness.
That LA stuff is really scary.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but the police are not helping me feel like there's a safe resolution in the works.
Oh, there is really not. This is going to end really badly. For everyone.
msbelle, I tend to not believe those kinds of stories but I have to say, I don't really think we'll ever know the truth and I wouldn't be surprised if the truth were, at the very least, somewhere in the middle. This feels way too personal on both sides.
On a totally shallow note, who ever is doing this press conference is in just perfect light. Movies do not look this good.
