strange things are afoot @ the circle k
OMG I have the same problem with research—mostly because I have a pathological fear of someone telling me, “What are you, an idiot? That’s totally wrong.” ;)
yes! yes! that’s exactly it! and i say it to myself enough that i just expect everyone else to do it.
and it’s 10x worse because this is a REAL BOOK. that’s will be published and real. and people might actually read it! i CAN’T BE WRONG!
i’m weirdly obsessed with research. i think that’s my other problem leading to my inability to write. i need to research and read and read and research before i feel confident enough that my thoughts are educated enough to actually put to paper.
i haven’t really written today, which is not good as i have the huge blinking “SO FUCKING BEHIND, YOU IDJIT!” neon sign over my head — but i’ve found some really fantastic stuff that will be very helpful. so, yay!
so, i’m in a fab little mood — is there anything you need right now? a kind word, a pep talk, some advice or random information? hit me up :)
finally gathering my tax stuff. thank goodness for Mint.com.
wow — if someone wanted to be my personal transcriptionist, i’d apparently keep them very well paid.
i also buy *a lot* of coffee. and eat our cafeteria *a lot.*
God, this album reminds me of high school and all the boys who broke my heart. The moping and the anger. And then there’s the angry sexy songs. I love this beyond the telling of it.
oh my god. retta was hilarious and fabulous. just fabulous.
i need to get this one up soon because it’ll make the hiatus feel a little less harsh.
the latest spam comment on PopGurls comes from “turkey chili recipes”
needless to say, i’m way too amused to delete it. maybe tomorrow. but it’s SUCH a sexy food!
…countdown to retta interview. in 26, 25…
pushed back… and now the countdown begins again with 9, 8…
In the middle of the night, police banged on his door until he was roused from sleep, demanded entry, when he refused (because he was not ill) they broke down the door, tasered him, then inexplicably shot him.
The official police story is that he came at them with a hatchet, then that was amended to a knife. Within hours they were reporting this as a justified shooting.
This occurred last November, a grand jury is just now being empaneled to investigate this shooting and the name of the officer (and his duty status) has never been released to the public.
The entire encounter was recorded by the medical pendant company, and there is video from the taser. White Plains, NY police are going to have a lot of explaining to do when this gets before a jury.
Jesus fucking Christ …
+6 to New York. For all the progressiveness supposedly in that state, you guys sure do have some fucked up police.

i agree with turnabout. her live tweeting is the best.

…countdown to retta interview. in 26, 25…
i feel like i’ve got four different personalities — RL, facebook, twitter/tumblr, LJ.
i always wonder how i seem to people in each outlet. i know that the more public the venue, the more guarded i am. which i’m sure most people are. but i’m very curious as to the perception that folks have of me, as i think i tend to put off to the world that i’m a giddy, geeky person.
there was so much in Rob Delaney’s depression post that resonated with me, but the thing that resonates with me right now is: “If you know me personally, all this information may surprise you, as I think I generally have a pretty sunny demeanor.”
i think i do as well. mostly because of other people and how much i want them to know how great they are, how special they are. i enjoy celebrating other people, encouraging them. i don’t often talk about myself and i very rarely let anyone know what’s in my head. which is all my doing. so i keep weaving these personalities — all legitimate parts of me — into this little persona that i wish i was more like.
oh sweetness! thank you!
i SO love the running raccoon piece in Parks. I’m with Ben, i found them cute until they ran rampage in the garbage outside my house.
truefax: the grandmother next store used to feed the racoons in their backyard which only encouraged them.
awww! i have to admit that all the disrespect that Parks shows Jerry often breaks my heart and this made me happy that Ethel and Muriel know that Jerry is fantastic in his own way.
(even if maple walnut fudge is gross. ;))
