This is because the poor deluded innocent children at LJ gave me 50 more icons.

Also. Today at the market I looked idly at the Appenzeller cheese and thought "who would want horse cheese?" And then I realized that I had conflated this (non-horse) cheese with the Lippizaner Stallions.

And then I went home before anything else like that happened.

Apparently the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where my country's nuclear weapons are made, isn't above a little film noir beatdown action if you squeal about the problems at the office.

His coworkers think he deserved it, and it looks like they got away with worse five years ago at the Livermore lab.

We had a lot of slang terms for it in college but I never heard this one.

Today's menu of tunes in the overhead music inside at D's is mostly from the column labeled "Soulless, anesthetized, ProTools versions of songer more than 20 years old that were pretty good as originals."

What is it about Marvin Gaye's music that makes these evil robots want to skullfuck it? I ask you.

Inland Empire, now in production. I am dreaming of Twin Peaks in Rubidoux, or a Rancho Cucamonga Blue Velvet. Eraserhead in the scrap yards of Fontana...

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jtemperance for the tip.

Man With Chain Saw Allowed to Enter U.S.

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press Writer

misfitOn April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres. Then they let him into the United States.

The following day, a gruesome scene was discovered in Despres' hometown of Minto, New Brunswick: The decapitated body of a 74-year-old country musician named Frederick Fulton was found on Fulton's kitchen floor. His head was in a pillowcase under a kitchen table. His common-law wife was discovered stabbed to death in a bedroom.

Despres, 22, immediately became a suspect because of a history of violence between him and his neighbors, and he was arrested April 27 after police in Massachusetts saw him wandering down a highway in a sweat shirt with red and brown stains. He is now in jail in Massachusetts on murder charges, awaiting an extradition hearing next month.

At a time when the United States is tightening its borders, how could a man toting what appeared to be a bloody chain saw be allowed into the country?

...and it doesn't mean that much to me )
