Okay, what with all this uproar about taser related deaths, I feel that I have to weigh in.

Firstly, in the past little while there have been two incidents where a tasering has resulted in death and serious injury; questions have also been raised about taser related deaths in the past couple of years.  This is teh information we are provided with.  ( Read more... )

For some reason, this is the least depressing birthday I have had in the past number of years.  I am not having a meltdown about 26 at all.  I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this.  I don't know if it is that I am just happy that things are really coming together in my life, or just slowly becoming reconciled to that fact that I am a ( Read more... )

Best short film EVAR!

Not only are we safe from the worst case scenario projections of the upcoming apocalyptic flood, but our neighbours are superheros.  For real.  Last night when we got home from coffee, there was a car blocking our driveway.  I went next door to ask them to move it, and when I knocked, I was bid to enter.  When I popped my head in I was greeted with ( Read more... )

So, last night we watched The Fountain.  If you haven't seen it, don't bother.  That is, of course, unless you are into existential, metaphysical bullcrap.  In all honesty, we have no idea what the point of the movie was.  The closest we could come is that it is about the cyclical nature of the world: birth, life, death.

Most importantly, Sarah and tequila have become friends again.  ( Read more... )

Tomorrow morning Rye and I depart to Las Vegas for a week ( Read more... )

So, I am sitting in my office doing my best to waste time because I am so caught up that I really have nothing to do, when I suddenly smell a familiar smell wafting across my office.  Wait.  It can't be.  It is!

I am used to having cigarette smoke waft up into our building from the lazy ass union members who smoke in the hallway to the stairwell ( Read more... )

Wowzah.  Apparently my venting in my LJ can inspire long and far reaching consequences.  To my friend who was affected most by me again shooting from the hip, I apologize again for the shit I caused you, but not for being me and my opinionated self.  And you know that I also feel badly if I upset the others.

To the subject of a previous post, I do ( Read more... )
