Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hmm. I just got a political survey call, and they asked if I work for the "news media." I guess I do, since I work for a media company, but my job is so far removed from any of that that I wasn't sure if I had to say yes. I did anyway, because I'm not in the mood. But huh.

Well, it just involves climbing out the bedroom window onto the porch roof.
ION, my city's politics are INSANE. Police commissioner put up a yard sign for the candidate challenging the State's Attorney, and she's going for broke, questioning his credibility and all this other crap AS State's Attorney. Which I think is a misuse of her office. Anyway, don't think she's looking good at all in this. He's made some comments critical of the relationship between police and the SA office, but this shit is wild.

FTR, I want to be EThom when I grow up.
She's the bomb. I wish I could aspire to Emma Thomson-ness

Emma is probably my most-loved actress in the whole world.
I've had good luck finding thrift finds at stores affiliated with specific charities. Couple weeks ago I was poking around Fillmore with Jen K. and Emmett and I dragged them into the little thrift that benefits the SF Symphony and they had great stuff at good prices. I got two really nice silk ties (one of them from the Frank Lloyd Wright series that I love) for just $5. One for me and one for Emmett.
Right nearby are two other thrifts linked to local Catholic schools, which is where the rich people send their kids in SF. So there's lots of rich-person leftovers like fancy scarves, ties and costume jewelry.
I've also found a good one in the East Bay affiliated with a hospital and got a great pair of vintage men's shoes (with perfs and everything) in my size for just $8. Also a cool mod scarf, and a dress for JZ. Every clothing item in that store is $4.50, except for some fancy dresses. So you can get a suit there for $9.

Now tagless for your comfort.
So obsessively combing the sex offender database has revealed ANOTHER sex offender on my FB friends list. A Wisconsin person who friended me through another friend.
Excuse me while I go purge my friend list. I'm going to throw up. I should just start running criminal background checks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesus, Cash. You're making me paranoid. But I have no kids to protect. I can't believe you found a friend of Owen's father. Good thing you know now.

Because books.

Oh, wow. That's really disturbing.
I checked the database here last summer, and there were more than twenty offenders in this town alone, which is not that big, and that freaked me out. But I didn't *know* any of them.
