For Ino and Nara mostly, but also for the other people in the dorm.  The cats may slip out of the room and wander in the hall.  That's all right.  But they should not be let fully out of the building.  They are indoor cats.  If anyone sees them down in the lobby or near the exits, bring them back upstairs.  None of them scratch and are used to ( Read more... )

Back in New York.

With blood money that, I guess, no one else will accept. Or will allow me to give away.

Money, the house, the car.  Other things.  It's like I'm profiting from it.

The reporters are calling me for comment, presumably because Kakashi Hatake has a reputation of refusing all contact with the media.

What do you all want me to say?  Tell me now, I'm tired of saying the wrong thing and being denounced for it.

The main thing I've done wrong is something I can't change.  But if it makes you all feel better, I think I ( Read more... )

Curses are superstitious bullshit.  But every member of my family is dead now.  We might as well have all died in internment.

The wild girl Anko did lie, just not the way I assumed she was lying.  It is true that neither of these names are from superheros.  They are in fact villains. Fine.  I am not a moral exemplar, just in case any of you have fucking failed to notice this.

The naked part was also completely beside the point.  Dr. Manhattan no longer saw the point of ( Read more... )

I was walking home on 7th avenue when I heard some godawful noise coming from the building above me. A third floor window was open. It sounded like car crashes and someone overloading a preamp with an electrical guitar.

I went up to ask him how he made noise like that.

I'm going into the studio to record with him in two weeks. He needs a ( Read more... )

The article is out.

I'm supposed to be better. But everyone is pissing me off.

Played at the jazz festival over the weekend in the open jam session. With people I didn't know. It was all right and while it's NOT a rave review (since the media would never give me one), the NYT reporter said I had a 'fresh modern style' or some bullshit like that. Clearly the lazy kid with the smoking habit was sitting that one out, though ( Read more... )
