*Status Check*

This was blogathon weekend, wasn't it? *facesmacks* However, considering the schedule the next month promises, I'd better get my Sunday naps in while I can.

This weekend? AOD. I'm staffing.
Next weekend, the 12th? Nisei Week and Tofu Festival. Seriously, my favorite festival of the year. If you can make one the entire year, this is the one you SHOULD make. It's uncopieable.
Weekend after that, the 19th? Heartsent's Family Picnic.
Weekend after that, the 26th? Clear. So far. Something's lurking out there, just past the perimeter - I just know it.

We missed Swiss Fair - that was Sunday, and I was unconscious. Silly monkey. It was also hot enough that I'm not sorry.

In other news, it's amazing how much fun thrift shop "junking" expeditions can be, with the right people.

Best find of the day? A jog stroller, similar to this one for $30. (Take off the bonnet - though I'll try contacting the manufacturer and see if they have one.)

catsonmars found his lab coat, caitlin found blankets to finish her t-shirt-origined quilttop with, I found a humongous Pooh...and some of the worst rave music EVARH.

I also found a Hawaiian shirt fit to blind people with. Bringing to AOD.

The rest of today? Sucking ass. Will update if possible later.

Oh, and for my Catholic friends.

Read and feel pity.

In the written pages posted on http://www.tmz.com , the arresting deputy — identified as James Mee — wrote that after cooperating at first, Gibson became "increasingly belligerent as he took stock of his predicament."

The deputy said he told Gibson "that if he remained cooperative, I would transport him without handcuffing."

Instead, he said, Gibson tried to flee back to his car. After he was subdued and handcuffed, the actor told the deputy: "You're going to regret you ever did this to me."

Gibson, the report continued, then said he "owned Malibu" and launched a "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks."

Those remarks included Gibson's statement that "the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," the report said. After that, Gibson allegedly asked the deputy: "Are you a Jew?"

..

BTW.

He was really really REALLY sorry in the morning.

*facesmacks*

Oh yeah. He has how many children at home?

That said, let me say that I've had some dealings with the man - stop laughing, I was working at Avis Rent A Car, and he was in town shooting the first Lethal Weapon movie...and yeah, we rented him his wheels.

Stand up guy. Completely honest, easy to deal with - stand up guy. He looked after his family (to a degree it was noticeablely out of step with our "make HER do it" shuttle drivers ideas of child rearing), made no bones about the superficiality of Hollywood and really just wanted to go home. We liked him. A lot.

Gibson issued a statement Saturday apologizing for his "despicable" behavior.

"I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested," the statement reads, "and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said."

Gibson said he has battled alcoholism as an adult, adding, "I … profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."

This is the guy we dealt with. (It also points up what a really good case of addiction destroys. Think anyone is going to forget this?)

Because, in all honesty? He only blew a .12. (For those of you DMV-challenged, the legal limit is .08, .01 if you're under 21.)

This is one seriously angry man, very thinly hidden. No, I didn't see his Jesus flick - I did hear all about the anti-Semitic flack. If I want a Jesus flick, I've got a copy of Godspell. That's plenty for me.

Sad. Very, very sad.

I have to reiterate. You don't blame a group for anything. You do that, you're setting yourself up to be used. Badly.

Better to blame the guy who done it. Usually, it's just a guy - or a buncha guys. Not all guys. I don't care what label you want to slap on 'em.

Relapse. Holy fuck.

I hate doing this, but...

I need a SQL Server 2005 expert with knowledge of FrontPage and Windows Server 2003, who can help with a situation in the New York City area. After extensive configuration and testing we still cannot get our new server to allow publication to the SQL database, despite configuration being as close to identical with the original server as possible (right down to permissions and application pools). Neither I nor our coder can figure out where the problem lies.

If you know someone who can assist with this, please, PLEASE, contact me.

Thank you.

Also - there has to be someone who needs this car:

(from rpeate) - $700 Car. 1988 vintage, even!
