Well, that was very nice. Someone just called me and interviewed me and I am clearly not tracking properly because I couldn't work out who they were either. But I think it went decently well, so fingers crossed I'll have two in person interviews coming up soon.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

You rock these stealth interviews, ita. Maybe stop trying so hard.
ION, this was a day of onerousness, I just set up the disconnection of the phone number we've had for over 20 years. But it's mostly automated calls and wrong numbers anymore, and it just cut $60 off the monthly expenses.
Plus I did the monthly payment on the back taxes. I deserve some ice cream.

I'm glad you're getting interview traffic, ita!
On my way home, I had to pull over for multiple emergency vehicles and soon 3 choppers were circling overhead. A three year old girl was killed by a stray shot from a driveby 2 blocks west on Old York, goddamnit. [link]
I wouldn't characterize that area in decline.Struggling but on the upswing and then shit like this happens.

That is horrible.

I have a horrible feeling she's a kid I'd recognize at the pool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's awful, sarameg.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh that's heartbreaking, sarameg. Her poor parents!
Also kudos, Connie! I have been your obverse today and studiously avoided all the truely onerous tasks waiting for me. Did some writing instead, so yay! Am now drinking red wine and planning on getting a bit more writing in before dinner. DH won't be home until 9 or so, so dinner will be heat up X for I and Y for F and decide if I want to eat.

Oh christ, I probably do. From reporter Justin George's twitter: Just spoke with 3-year-old McKenzie Elliott's father who was on the bus coming back from work at Cheesecake Factory to take her to the pool. [when he got the news]
