So this is apropos of nothing, but my housemate just got word that his crazy ex-girlfriend beat the shit out of her homeless elderly alcoholic boyfriend. In public.

I don't even know what to say. She's like 36, he's about 60, and pathetic and harmless. It's horrifying.

Yeah it is.  Domestic violence always is.

Something about the elderly part makes it worse.  Probably because I'll be elderly some day.

Yeah it's all just bad. So bad. She has multiple compound fractures in her right hand. He didn't press charges.

And capping off Nigel's Big List of Bad Ideas, I got drunk last night and slept with my housemate.

Goddammit.

I shouldn't lie like that, that isn't even close to capping it off. I have a ton of bad ideas left.

Someone posted this actual ad in Tampa Bay: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/dmg/4754818511.html
Apparently it didn't get any replies, so she posted this: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/dmg/4755126002.html

And then I: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/dmg/4793490849.html

Tampa Bay has the craziest Craigslist I've ever seen. There's also this one, in which someone is looking for someone to come care for/clean up after six dogs in the middle of the afternoon every weekday, for roughly $6.50 an hour. I love the statement that they "refuse to pay for doggie daycare"... yeah, because daycare for six dogs would cost two grand a month. You'd think they could at least spring for minimum wage. http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/dmg/4791675545.html

I think it'll be fine... both of us are kind of in stages of life where we're slutty and don't really have feelings. But boy howdy, it's a little embarrassing.

Tampa Bay Craigslist was so insane that I had to check out Portland's to compare, and as I expected it was far more sedate. I did find this amazing gem though. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/dmg/4791986249.html

All of that EVERYTHING is fantastic! I don't mind folks who think of their pets as "part of the family" but you start calling your dogs/cats/ferrets "kids" and I reserve the right to punch you square in the teeth.

It's a sign of a boatload of crazy.

Big Surprise at church today. An 80-something old man was unconscious, went into a seizure. I was actually proud of how well we handled it. Called the paramedics straight away, put him on his side and kept the airway clear, cleared the area to let them in. The guy came to after a bit, and after some coaxing agreed to go with the paramedics to the hospital.

Running the Inquisition is actually more time consuming and difficult than my current job.

"The Inquisition needs quarries!" Spend two hours fighting bandits, demons, local wildlife and, in one case, a dragon, to find a quarry and logging camp.

"The Inquisition needs elfroot!"  Ditto.

"The Inquisition needs deathroot."  Well, I can't find any deathroot.  Oh, wait, you mean it's on a part of the map I haven't unlocked yet.  Meaning I have to expend political capital and resources to acquire deathroot? ...OK then, I guess.  I'm not happy about this, though.

Dispatch the Antivan Crows to hunt down a copyright violator?  Sending in assassins seems a bit excessive...but OK.  Capture a keep without siege weaponry?  Sure, I mean I have Cassandra, and she is a one-woman battering ram.  Oh wait, now I have another location to administer?

And now I'm called back to my actual keep because someone is assaulting it with a goat.  Not "a goat is alongside him".  No, as in the goat is the weapon.  And now I have to judge what happens to, what is clearly, a crazy man?
