I am so sorry about Strega. Like a lot of people, I didn't know her, but she was just organically, root-deep, bone-deep part of the board; every post of hers came with a little, "Ah, yes, of course, there she is!" Like a neighbor you don't know that well but see all the time a block or so away, just leaving the corner store or taking their dog for a walk or waiting for the bus. Part of the rhythm and life of the community.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm currently Juror 16. Meep. 32-day trial!
Holy crap! That's a long trial.
This all reminds me that I'm convinced I worked with someone on the Clinton grand jury. At least, I worked with someone in the DC area who was on a grand jury at that time. I'm pretty sure I left the temp job while it was still happening.
Sounds like he's got as much history as Weinstein.
Yes. Nobody I know in the TV/film/theater world was surprised.
I forget if I've said it here, but an old coworker of mine was picked up by James Toback (young, tall, blonde, new to New York), so yeah, none of any of this is actually a secret.

I've moved up to Juror 12. And I think we are already on Day 4? They gave us the list of court dates the first but I am not sure I caught them all...

Jury selection : still not finished. I'm guessing wearing a costume to court tomorrow would be a bad idea.

Because books.
I think I took the good Monday from everyone else. Sorry! But I had a really positive, really promising interview today for a job I could do really well, that's local and would significantly increase my pay, and I've been on cloud 9 cautiously optimistic all day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yay, Amy! Fingers crossed for you!
My Monday has been good, what with the indictments and schadenfreude.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Can't link because I'm at rehearsal, but WaPo has a "Trump watches TV and fumes" story.

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