"Everything alright?"
"Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine."

My depression streaming playlist (on Netflix):

I would certainly hire someone with that kind of reputable name for all my computational drywall needs. (I've actually thought about freelancing/working for myself, but I think that would be even worse for my motivation, or lack thereof.)

Yeah I'm looking for another job now and I'm relatively sure that I'll be equally unhappy in anything I'm qualified for - I just don't particularly like the field I've ended up in, but can't go back to school or entry level. I do love starting jobs though, so at least I'd have that small honeymoon window with a new…

Thanks for sharing - there are some really classic pieces in there - the doors to Rick's place, a dress from Gilda, Rhett Butler's riding jacket…

I've been thinking about the same thing - going back to school to do something I'd enjoy (I also work on web stuff, but not as a developer - sometimes I think looking at a screen all day is incredibly bad for the human brain), but can't due to money/debt/house constrictions. And I get paid well to do an easy job so I…

While I would actually like to have any of Marlene Dietrich's "PERSONALLY OWNED" jewelry from that auction, I think my favorite lot is "Lot of 100 Personal Checks Signed by Classic Hollywood Film Star Mary Astor". Memorabilia and identity theft in one!

Depressives unite! Later… after we've all had a nap. And maybe not then either. *Internet hug*

Thanks Franko!

Thanks for the kind words. I am teetering on the border of Fuckitland, but it would screw over so many of my coworkers to do that, and then I would just feel worse. Damn responsibility.

Thank you!

Thank you, your Sock Highness!

I finally broke down and cried at work, in front of my boss no less. He was incredibly kind, but his point was, whatever's going on with you, there's stuff that still has to get done. I told him I know and apologized profusely for being terrible (but I think I just made him feel bad for his completely justified…

Yeah I used words bad there. I didn't intend to compound those two (still admittedly long shot) suppositions. I think Jay was encouraged by the cops, either implicitly or explicitly, to give them premeditation. I think Jay may have had information on the car from a source other than Adnan (it took him a couple of…

Heh, dangliest. I agree on the it-can-be-two-things point. I hope the IP team is able to get some additional forensic testing done, but I'm not very confident it will change much (I think the original point I was trying to make - badly - is that it might change something).

Definitely do not listen to the Slate podcast, if these are things you don't like.

The minimizing changes I totally understand (I didn't help bury her, I was there when he buried her, I helped bury her) - sure, that makes sense. But some of his changes don't seem to have any self-serving motive. Why add/drop the side trip to Patapsco State Park? He gives at least 3 locations for the "trunk pop".…

I don't think it was that implausible, given the number of times Jay changed his story. Personally, I think he was coached to give them the 1st degree murder evidence (he went back and forth a bunch of times on whether or not Adnan had talked about killing Hae); he might have been coached on the car's location (less…

Yes, to a certain extent. A lot of the redditors have read the publicly available documents (appellate documents in particular) and discuss stuff that Sarah hasn't touched on yet (but has alluded to as upcoming - like the lawyer's performance in trial).

Yeah, we have drink tickets too, but two of my coworkers don't drink and know I'm a lush, so…. I fear they're going to make us sit through an awards ceremony before they let us get at the booze though, which is the opposite of how that should happen.
