As a joke...I sent a bottle of whiskey...as you choked, you said it made you feel dirty...

I've got absolutely nothing to say..so let's just do some general announcements...

1) The Empire of Katash will re-open earlier then anticipated. I'm back tomorrow around 2. However, I'm leaving almost immediately for work so feel free to come up and harass any time after 7.

2) New SN: macashsar. Once I get back to DSL, I'm going to post it in my away messages for a few days before making the transition. Bye bye catori sedai, you've been pretty good to me, but I've had you for far too long. Props to anyone who can figure out where macashsar comes from. Seriously, it shouldn't be too hard. This one's actually in English. When was the last time I had an SN in English? I honestly don't remember...

3) Exactly one month from today (Nov 11) I will be in Philly at Chestnut Hill, visiting Jo. To all of you studying in in the City of Brotherly Love (aka extreme poverty), gimme a ring, I'd like to see y'all if possible. Wicked, wicked excited.

4) Guster concert in early November. If you're interested at all, let me know. It's in Baltimore.

5) One more midterm (Policing in America, it's going to be a bitch), then my work load is dramatically decreased until the December rush. Still having weekly quizzes in PiA, as well as quizzes in ItSJ, but that's all manageable.

6) I think I've got 3 more big (aka 20+ pages) papers due before the semester ends: History/Philosophy of Criminology, Intro to Sys of Justice and Anthropology of Genocide. Stiff upper lip, Ash, you can do this. My topics? Sex trafficking, more or less op-ed piece on the MPD (Metropolitan Police Dept for you non-DCers) and the pre-Holocaust propaganda of the Third Reich. Damn, I really am a college student. It really does amaze me when I look at some of my topics and some of the things I've written...hasn't really sunken in yet.

7) On Nov. 5 I get to go on a police ride along in the 4th district...it's going to last for like 8 hours and I'm wicked excited. (This is actually more for me..so that I don't forget the date again..). I hope I get to bust up a crackhouse...mostly so that I can then proceed to sell aforementioned drugs to the overly wealthy crack addicts at school...I wouldn't want any for myself...no..not at all...

8) The Killers make me incredibly happy, and will always remind me of dancing around Baltimore with Adam. They make no fucking sense whatsoever, but hey, who needs logic?

9) I am insomnia's bitch. 3 hours of sleep last night. Yeah...it hurts me deep down inside, where the feelings are...

And I do believe that about sums everything up...
