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!
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

The decapitation thing is just weird:
Police explode pipe bomb near decapitated body
A man walking his dog this morning near an Evanston middle school discovered a decapitated body, perhaps the result of a pipe bomb explosion, and some hours later police exploded a pipe bomb found in the vicinity.
Police pushed the media back from the area after discovering what appeared to be an explosive device near the body, WGN-Ch. 9 reported about 8:40 a.m. Some residents were being evacuated from their homes. The Cook County sheriff's bomb squad was on the scene.
...
On returning home, he said neighbors told him they had heard a loud explosion between 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. He said police told him they had come out earlier to investigate the sound of the explosion but were unable to find anything at that time.
So the guy was planting a pipe bomb and accidentally blew off his head? Or on purpose? Weird.
