After the shoot out last night, I'm not surprised. It is sad, I'd have rather they gassed him or something, but not knowing what he has in there with him and the last 24 hours...
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Where do you hear this?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it's mostly that we won't know whatever he might have had to say. But given that people have already died trying to apprehend them, and that it's in a residential area with a lot of potential for collateral damage, I'm sure they're making the best decisions they can. I just hate all this stuff, you know? I wish for a better world.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's all very confused, but the suspect apparently started shooting first.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
is it true his dead brother had a bomb strapped to him?

He had burns and what seemed to be strap marks, which they think indicate a bomb vest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kripkat just went crazy meowing until I went with him to the bedroom. Nothing was there. This guy's worse than CNN!
To be fair, cats are known to be unreliable reporters.

That's what I heard.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm not surprised, but I'm saddened. I wanted answers. And I know rationally that no answers would ever be adequate, but it always feels to me like another level of bleak and awful every time (and it happens so often) someone does something this horrifying, this unimaginable, and then disappears himself (and it does so often seem to be a him) and takes all knowledge of whatever reasons or excuses or triggers, or accomplices or manipulators, there might ever have been into eternity and silence with him.
I know no knowledge would be adequate. But the longing, and the despair at it disappearing into the void, is still there.

As much as I'd love answers, I look to the Aurora shooting and the fact that they got the shooter right after and we have yet to have a clue why. Yes, we know he is not right in the head and he had, at one point, agreed to plead guilty but still, no actual reasons.

I saw it on Balloon Juice. Nothing yet on the Globe's site.
... I should stop reading all this, and go walk the dogs instead, and listen to more Aubrey-Maturin novels.
In other news, I got an interview with my friend's firm: two panel interviews, each with two or three people, and not until May 1st. Crap. I think I shall have to study up on energy development in the meantime...
