So this morning I woke up and the sun was shining and the rain was gone and the birds were singing and the Bad Hormonal Mouse was gone and there was a email from Omar asking me out of Sunday and everything was okay again.

Okay. Plenty of people I know and grew up with and went to college with have been in movies, nothing new there, but for the first time in my life, someone I know is a character in a movie!

I went to college with James St. James (he was good friends with my Junior year roommate) who was one of the club kids in the late 80's-early 90's, and who wrote the book Party Monster. Well, Party Monster has been made into a movie, and Seth Green is playing James. This is one of the weirdest things that I've ever experienced.

Proof that I am a very bad person:

I just found out that my old company, the company that fired me after I worked there for eight years, The Company That Must Not Be Named, is shit up the creek. Of the people who fired me, the head of HR was himself fired a couple of weeks after I was, and in May, as the investigation on my old department began, the other two people who fired me "left to pursue other interests". The Raccoon, who did not fire me, is still employed. Lesson learned? Don't screw me.

Anyway, there are investigations and class action suits and the whole company is heading straight down the toilet. And I am laughing my ass off. I am an extremely spiteful person. Schadenfreude should be tattooed on my forehead.

And I'm dumping my stock ASAP.

More proof that I am a very bad person:

A local girl was raped and sodomized by a guy she met in an AOL chat room. This is a horrible, appalling, disgusting thing that isn't even remotely funny at all, and want to make it clear that I feel nothing but horror for this act.

What I did find funny was hearing the DA of Ossining announcing with a straight face that the rapist's screen name was "pimps-low-and-thugs-tizow". I'm probably spelling that wrong, so I wouldn't run over to AOL to try to contact him.

But honestly, the lesson to be learned in this case is that anyone including both the word "pimp" and Snoop-speak in his screen name is probably not someone to give your home address to.

Today's horoscope:
A challenging week ends in reconciliation. As roles change, the line between the server and the served disappear. New relationships are born from this fresh, positive dynamic.

One year ago today:
O, had you seen all of the twelves she has seen in her weary years on this planet, it would make a grown man weep.
