Books I Want: Installment Umpteen-ThirtyFive and Such

I already have Kate Ascher's The Works, so small surprise that I'd like to have this new book of hers to go with it. Useful for both illustration and writing reference, I suspect.

Maybe someday. One more reason to keep looking at the job boards...

More on other topics later in the day.

IN case anyone asks about the weird and grisly news re: local mail

Because someone's bound to ask at some point.

Yes, I've heard about the mail received by our New Conservative Party-affiliated Overlords. At some length.

I am displeased. Greatly.

While I have many reasons to wish that party as presently managed no small degree of discomfort, that sort of mail delivery is certain to backfire on too many innocent and not so innocent fellow citizens down the line. And we will not even get into the matter of what I suspect was the supreme discomfort of the person whose demise made the packages possible. The unkindness of inflicting that sort of an exit upon anyone is just Wrong.

I wish the responsible parties a swift arrest and prosecution, and an effective program of therapy prescribed and delivery immediately thereafter.

Oh. ####.

The crimes in Ottawa and Montréal are linked.

*assorted low-level swearing ensues*

I don't know whether to be glad or not that I'm out of the TV news courtroom art game these days.
