Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Our wings are not tired.

They were married! For at least a couple of months! (Right???) Or those People headlines lied to me as I waited in line with my groceries.

Oh! HILARIOUS! See how similar their handles are? And the facial hair. All those bearded men look alike to me. But that's hilarious. So this jackass could actually be a homophobic creep! The only thing that got my attention about his tweet in that article was that the interview podcasts I've listened to with Russell Brand certainly never sounded homophobic. I am actually quite happy that I had the wrong guy. Thanks!!

Le N, you're my hero. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how a guy who religiously listens to Democracy Now! could be a homophobe. And he isn't!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We are on attempt FIVE to get the boxes and packing paper picked up from our house. They were supposed to be here 7 minutes ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oh, dear. I'm reading the police blotter. Someone called the police because there was shouting in a neighbor's house. The police arrived, and found a woman who "appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance." Her name? Crystal Methany. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The poor thing didn't have a chance.

I really thought that might be a joke, but I searched the white pages, and there is a Crystal Metheny who lives in that town.

I know more about Russell Brand than I should! My pleasure. :-)

Box pickup report:

"Uh, yeah, I'm still coming back from the southeast, so...I don't know."

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

Today, for the second time:

  • my work laptop hard drive pre-failed
  • someone used my main gmail address as their email address for a FB account
  • someone used my main gmail address as their backup address for a gmail account

WHAT THE FUCK, WORLD?

I still don't have a work laptop, and committed to some work docs nonetheless that I'm not even kicked off on (oops, will do before EOD), and I have locked other me out of the FB account so I could post on the wall.

Gmail other me, I just dissociated the email addresses. But why are people doing that so often? Is there a scam behind this?
