I learned not to eat during Bones or Fringe VERY quickly.

Oof, I want to fall down now. After stopping work, I went and had the most EXCELLENT swim ever! First half mile (18 laps) with a 56.5 pace, next 13: 55.4, next 11 in 54.5 and the last 12 at an amazing 53.75. I must've just had a really efficient technique (for me) down, because it didn't feel that much harder than when I have my crappy days. Likes carrots, etc.

Then I came home and fed other people's cats, my cats, dinner, took the trash out, repotted a plant, watered the rest, pickled some cukes.

Things accomplished today: not much, but I did send an email to my Nemesis (cc'd to the boss) making it clear exactly whose fault the delays on this one project are. Completely with attached emails from earlier this summer.

She deletes all her email, I understand: this isn't tactically wise, since I'm just going to continue doing this, showing the new boss the chain of evidence of her dodging and weaving and NOT ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK.

Trust my rage

When my kids see Sam and Dean on my laptop/TV, they know there's going to be stuff that's "too scary for little kids." The funny part is that they both sort of wait for me to cover their eyes, which they seem to love.

I was in LA during Watts riots. This reminds me of that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think the comparison to Watts is on target. especially given how these riots started.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Forgive me my ignorance - the riots were touched off by the shooting of Mark Duggan and consequent poor handling of the situation by police?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes! as I understand it. please correct me if I'm wrong. This is also a predominantly (?) Black area of London.
