Someone has been putting graffiti in the men's room at work, attacking in particular one of our workers who is a post-op trans(and liberals, but mostly trans people). They've done it before, and it's definitely the same person since the handwriting is exactly the same. The messages they're writing have been getting more and more extreme though as is the number of tags being written at a time. It's pretty worrying.

There's some possibility that it may be an employee doing this, but there's no evidence to that yet.


Ok, today someone spontaneously decided to tell me lots of stuff -in Polish-. Add this to my previous cases of Italian/French/Greek/German mistaken identity   I think this pretty much makes it official that I'm nondescript foreign, not otherwise specified.

-Checks "Other" under ethnicity
-Writes "Other" on descriptive line

For some reason I read that as "Otter". Both times.

We redwall now, I guess.

At least the otters were generally pretty badass. Not the space marine badgers, but up there.

e: why do I remember those even exist
it's been well over a decade, nearly two, since I read a redwall book

The Redwall books were the shit when I was a kid, though I remember they got somewhat formulaic after a while.

They got formulaic about three books in.  :P

I read the first one and the sequel, and tried to read the first-in-chronological-order book after that, but quickly got confused and discovered afterward that my middle school library didn't have the third book in publication order.

Wait, wasn't that the book where the kids gave a chemistry book to a bunch of chakram throwing alien elephants and thus inadvertently gave the bad guys the knowledge to create guns which they then used to shoot gods? And Arthur got a blood transfusion from a random girl in a very unsafe manner while Merlin watched?

No clue, but there's apparently a NDS game for it, too?

Deltora Quest is the series where three people are going around looking for gems that fit into a belt, isn't it? There was a second series with a similar premise but it's been ages since I read them.

That's just making me think of "A Road Less Travelled By" or something like that. Turns out FTL travel is easy and we just missed the thing, the problem is it breaks reality to such a degree it can't be rationalised by any scientific method, so science tends to grind to a halt after it's discovered. Except on Earth. We never discovered it, so our science never ground to a halt. Some aliens come along, realise we don't have FTL travel, think "Oh boy, this'll be easy!" and invade. With muskets. They promptly get wrecked by our ballistic missiles and such, and we nab some of their ships to work out how they go FTL.

A neat idea, but it isn't Turtledove's best work.



On a different subject, I watched the new Roseanne earlier. Was far better than I was afraid it would be.

That name reminds me of some random books I found one day when I was looking for something nostalgic one day.

That was such a hazy memory, I'm not sure it's even real.
I bizarrely feel that way about animated shorts.

I do know the cat came back and 1300ccs is real, though. Both also very funny, and quite morbid.
