I was in Detroit over the weekend, and holy shit. It's really tragic there. Blocks and blocks are deserted, so many burned out and otherwise abandoned buildings. Yikes.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

!!! HEY!

It is. It has been pretty bad for years, but the economy and a horrible, corrupt mayor and school system have really fucked it up beyond what it was before. Even the casinos aren't helping much anymore.

I was at a wedding, so no time for anything else. I did get to a casino, but only for a couple of hours (including lunch).

Because books.
Speaking of Detroit, I saw this series of photos linked on Twitter the other day, and it's just jaw-dropping.

FUN!! If you ever have to come back and need quick pick up from the airport, let me know - we're 20 minutes from Metro.

I kinda might have gotten the interview about 6 hours after I got laid off. I hate not working so much.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, P-C!

All the best for your interview, Aims. Awesome references is the best way to start.

This is pretty nifty. A preacher in Amarillo said he was going to burn the Koran at a local park. Not only did a bunch of UUs show up to protest, but a skaterdude swooped in and snatched the Koran from the grill. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, man, the quote from skaterdude is hysterical.
