asimplechord1. Reading Jeremy Scahill's Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army right now. Anybody got an explanation for the jurisdictional issues that allow a federal judge to send the state-court issue (wrongful death case, I believe) to mediation, rather than allowing the families of dead mercenaries to sue the company? (For more details, hear/see/read yesterday's Democracy Now.) Heh. Also on the subject... the operation in April 2004 in Fallujah - Operation Vigilant Resolve - the name is ridiculously melodramatic and stupid and characteristic of the Shrub's hubris, and reminds me of nothing so much as Mad-Eye Moody and his Constant Vigilance!
2. Punky is the name of our neighbors' miniature(?) Yorkie. How do I know this? Because I found it on his collar when I found him in our yard the other morning. He fits underneath the fence between our back yards. He *bounces*, like a cartoon animal, when he is excited. And people excite him. Alot. Like, every morning.
3. I've been collecting the corks from wine bottles for years, and want to make a big cork-board to hang behind the bar. I keep them in a big basket on top of the bar. Which, in theory, the cats are not allowed on. But I have found corks rolling around on the floor in various rooms of the house recently. And a certain kitty was pouncing on one as if it were a mouse when I stumbled down to make coffee this morning. What? Wine is like catnip for them or something?
4. Hee, MrIris is all excited to see In My Time of Dying tonight. :) *deals the crack to one more person*
5. I'm still working on two one-shots that are J2 or SPN-related, but I'm having difficulties with the crossover one. Dean is not cooperating. What was supposed to be porny is now angsty. Instead of listening to Music To Porn To, I've had to switch over to the Music To Angst To mix, and it's just depressing. And an exchange fic is due in seven days, and it's still all in my head, rather than in a file or on paper. *sigh*
