as usual, torn between the desire to catch you all up on what sorts of breakfast cereal i've been eating for the past nearly two months, or to apologize profusely. i think i will choose "no".

today, i have a cold. also, my connection to work is flakey, so while i am dialed into work, a lot of it today has involved swearing and reconnecting to the vpn. later, i may change out of my jammies and into actual clothes (or perhaps not) and i have vast hopes that i'll be able to breathe through my nose for an extended period of time. like, fifteen seconds.

i am upset about massachusetts, tempted to see if nasa is selling off anything i would have space for, listening to my dogs snore, and happy, in that drugged up and congested sort of way. that's me, at the moment.

dear 57.5% of switzerland's population: you're morons. racist morons.

way to go. not only is this not going to do anything to get rid of the fundamentalists you're worried about, it's going to push them underground and help them recruit.

fortunately for you undeserving xenophobes, your federal council seems to have a clue, and hopefully will be working to get this out of your constitution.

no love,
me.

i love someone in milwaukee. i do not know who, but whoever you are who put up this sign? i love you.

well, that was a cheerful note to leave you all on.

i went to milwaukee over labor day for a family wedding. it was fun, and getting to see family was good. my one problem so far is that i appear to have left crucial undergarments in milwaukee. darnit.

i am spending a lot of saturdays out at renaissance festival, as that is the most reliable way to see my sweetie on the weekends between now and the first weekend in october. i still can't juggle, but am getting better.

hate crime against women in pittsburgh.

In December, Sodini said the women at the gym were just some of the 30 million American women who rejected him.

further details available at his blog, which i will not link to, but the article above does.

3 women dead, 9 women wounded, so far.

"Probably 99% of the people who know me well don't even think I was this crazy. Told by at least 100 girls/women over the years I was a 'nice guy.' Not kidding."

(from his blog)

this didn't happen bcause women rejected him. this happened because he had a sense of entitlement, and when he didn't get what he thought he was entitled to, he thought it was okay to kill the women (not people) who rejected him.

"Many of the young girls here look so beautiful as to not be human, very edible.

(from his blog)

not human. not people.

the allegheny police superintendent is wondering what could have caused this. that's it; that's it right there in a nutshell.
