This post is going to seem flippant in light of things, but what exactly is anyone supposed to do? One psychotic bomber murderer can't possibly have been foreseen: suggestions of stepping up security at theatres is ridiculous as their workers are already underpaid even as ticket prices skyrocket, and most of these one-time shooters pick their ( Read more... )

I wrote some reviews on Hamazon, just 'cause. That's about all that's new around these parts... I find that I don't really have an easy time drawing when unemployed, just because I feel like there are other things I should be doing instead [especially when the sun's up]. Like I'd been distracted with the $5 copy of ZenGems I found at Best Buy-- ( Read more... )

Not interested in depth, so here's a thing I did today:

I guess if I want to keep it literal to the subject line, C just had his annual viewing of A Scanner Darkly [which, if you weren't aware, contains a hallucination of one]. I feel like I figure out something new about it each time--the drug scene is too foreign for me to understand it on one viewing alone... or even twenty =p ( Read more... )

So, despite interference from The Cat with the Stinky Behind, I managed to finish reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo--which I think is only appropriately named if the title character is also The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, because she only seems to comprise about 40% protagonist share, 20% of which is ( Read more... )

So, good news: I can almost walk again now! Imagine, not aggravating an injury will help it get better! Still a bit swollen, and hurts again if I try too hard, but given the improvement from yesterday, I'll take that ( Read more... )

Back to the grind [after a nap]:

So, did I have a productive day of unemployment? BOY DID I!

1. woke up too early in order to
2. get a call from the temp agency that they'd cash out my remaining paid vacation for me [at least I have THAT much] but completely blanking on asking if there was a new position available because she sounded busy and I wasn't completely awake... [ah, well]
3. FINALLY ( Read more... )

I finished Nancy Drew #9: Danger at Deception Island, because I stupidly started it in order to get screen caps for tropes =p [It's a bad habit, gathering Wiki info...Spoilers, after a sort: If an animal's involved, it's tame 9_9 although what's creepy is, in #9 particularly, complete strangers can apparently get Nancy's e-mail address from her ( Read more... )
