In other more happier news, my cousin is having twin boys. Although I wanted girls, it appears her husband throws Ys instead of Xs. So when she told me on the phone, I was like, "Well, I guess that makes shopping easier."

Husband goes, "Let me talk to cousin-in-law!" So I pass the phone over, she passes the phone over to her husband, and I hear this:

"Boys, eh? Congratulations, now I don't have to buy you a double-barreled Remington. Suu would have killed me anyway, her damn yarn is expensive enough."   :horrormirth:

The guy in the black pickup truck that's been honking at me for like two years now happened to be outside along my walk home today and introduced himself as such. He was genuinely surprised that his behavior was unwelcome. SO MUCH HATE.

Yay babies and puppies, boo bad things.

Why the hell would anyone think that honking at a strange woman for two years would be anything but CREEPY???

In Burning Man-related news, this is hilarious: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/92109247.html

Yea, some folks honk going round bends and such, for safety.

Totally unrelated, free retail inventory software is soul-crushingingly boring without all the gratuitous frustrations it is so eager to throw at me.  What fun a malevolent archonic hacker must have had inventing "data entry".

To be clear, said stranger explicitly said he was honking at me, to try to say hi or something. Because he lives in a world where this isn't terrifying for people. There was no miscommunication.

I can't even imagine a fantasyland where repeatedly encountering and being honked at by a strange man in a black truck over the course of two years wouldn't be paranoia-inducing at the very least.

Some neighbor's dog two blocks away has been barking incessantly for three hours.

My Discordia seems to be borked.

I love you horrible fuckers.

Okay.  I hope things work out for you.

We have that.  Only it lives next door.  Is the sun out?  Barking.  Dawn?  Barking.  Sundown? Barking.  Rain?  Barking.

I've honestly considered a sniper rifle before now.

It's the fucking owners. Asshole owners who shouldn't even have a fucking dog because normal dogs can't handle being left alone outside for hours. Here, I think I'll take this HIGHLY SOCIAL ANIMAL that is specially evolved to be highly attached to human beings, and leave it outside alone for hours on end.

Gee, is that a bad idea maybe? Who would have thunk it.
