* There's been a particularly bad plane crash in a residential neighborhood in Nigeria. It was a full sized plane and they are still hunting for bodies. There turns out to have been not much in the way of proper emergency services and the neighbors had to carry water from their houses to fight the resulting fire.

* In another example of self defense only being allowed as a defense for straight white cis men, they are sentencing an African American trans woman for defending herself and her friends from attack by white supremacists: http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2012/06/cece-being-sentenced-today.html

* I went to roast some vegetables and discovered I was out of foil, cue me going to buy some, spending an hour on food prep, at which point I used up all the orange rind, a problem I could have solved when I went to buy a fol. Sigh. At least I ate well. Hector is still escalating, slowly, luckily, it took me more than six hours to get him to eat and take a nap. I only succeeded because I set up a special table with a washcloth on it for him to sleep on. LM's finally starting to integrate territory wise after the move. She actually came to a treat time in my room with the others and has gone back to sleeping on my bed with the Butt in the evenings like she used to in the old house. Progress.

* Somebody wrote an Avengers visit Sesame Street thing. O.o: http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/689720?page=1#comments

* In case people were unclear, I do not think a zombie Apocalypse is going on in real life. (Hint: zombie stuff was at the bottom of a posting where I put fluffy stuff. If a real Zombie Apocalypse were occurring, you can bet it would either be the top news item or in a post of it's own.) I posted the zombie stuff because it struck me as funny.

* I see the coverage for the 2016 Presidential Election started today. Jesus fucking Christ people, can't we wait until this election is over before covering the next one?

* Remember the guy that mailed body parts of his victim to Canadian political parties, etc.? They arrested him in Germany, where he fled pretty much immediately after posting the grisly packages.

* Hector decided today being one with short sleep, it would be an ideal opportunity to do that thing where he waits until I start to drift off to sleep to start howling inconsolably for be to come follow him around the living room. Rinse and repeat over and over until he'd whittled my sleep down to two hours, on a day with an early Doctor's appointment and a large, exhausting errand slate. I did manage to make my appointment (Where they gave me another errand to do ASAP that requires doing bureaucracy before things close at 3:00 PM and driving all over town. Sigh.) and I managed to fit everything else in, though I was late getting home with the car for Squirrel because everything took like three times the amount of time it needed to what with the pain and the whole being robbed of sleep thing. (As of yesterday, I'm back on full meds dose as I was having trouble controlling my limbs again, but I'm still below average as far as ouch goes). I thought, "At least I got groceries I couldn't manage without, right?" wrong. While unpacking I realized I forgot the goosh. About five minutes later I realized I forgot the medicinal tea. I am already over budget on food for the month. Then I lost a whole posting here to a glitch. *facepalm* At least I an eat leftovers instead of trying to cook something from scratch. That would be begging for trouble. ...And I just realized I forgot the crackers.

* I passed the big movie theater on my trip to the big grocery store. Both Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman were playing there. It's like a Chris Hemsworth festival.

* Every time I come across advance publicity for Les Miserables I am filled with anxiety. Please don't fuck this one up Hollywood, it matters to me intensely in a whole lot of ways it's complicated to explain. I very much want a musial Les Miserables movie, but is NEEDS to be good.

* I finished reading the Hunger Games. ( Book vs. Movie: )

For the record, I'm neither team Gale, nor team Peeta. I'm team Katniss has way too much going on to be putting much time into romance stuff and should chose herself first. Please do not tell me what happens in the later books. I'm in line for the next one, but the line is long.
