'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For some reason, being stopped at a light in front of a polling place full of campaign workers with my windows down as NPR played the snippet from Evita with Patti LuPone belting out "Screw the middle classes!" struck me as completely hilarious this morning. Like, near tears choking hilarious.
Gonna leave work early and hit my polling place on the way to the Y.
It's primary day here too, and I don't know if I even have any competitive races on my ballot, but I will vote!
I voted at 7:30 this morning and one of the new scanner machines was already broken. Bring back the ker-THUNK levers!!
Yeesh. Apparently a guy walking his dog found a decapitated body on the grounds of a middle school in Evanston.
I don't think we have any primaries going on. I hope not, as I know nothing about any races.
We have an appt with what I hope will be our new psychiatrist today.
I barely did any work yesterday, so I need to get busy, I guess.
So on my bike ride to work there were all these police when I got to Main St. in Evanston. They had a bunch of streets blocked off and helicopters were hovering above. I had to ride several blocks out of my way to get to work. Then I found out what the deal was:
Decapitated body found near Evanston school
Yikes!
Sorta' decapitated body x-posty-ish....
"I thought my dog was chasing a rabbit, but when I got close it was a body without a head," he said. "There was a weird smell in the air. I wasn't expecting what I saw."
Nobody expects a body without a head.
OK, that puts things in perspective. I stayed up too late last night and don't feel like working at all, but at least I haven't found a decapitated body!
Last night I started making these plans that seemed brilliant to get away and see a friend I haven't seen in years, and today they look entirely impractical. Am sad.
Mustn't try and think while on meds.
Yeah, I got to work and was feeling very sorry for myself (for one thing, I am often BOTH the first one here and the last to leave, what the fuck, do I work with Tino suddenly?) And then my coworker came in and said she'd just seen a student on a bike get hit by a car at the corner (that our office overlooks), so we looked out and saw the poor guy and the poor woman who hit him and while I didn't feel less sorry for myself, I did feel rather ashamed of feeling sorry for myself.
