Huh. This is fascinating and sad all at once. See how long your favorite movie lasts!

A neat, effective form of showing erasure of people of color in mainstream media.

Just a follow up to yesterday's post:

Just a follow up to yesterday's post:

They aren't interested in the house.  The street is too busy for small children.

My relator got the message and will be talking to the person who was showing the house yesterday so hopefully someone will get an earful.

Cripes!

Cripes!  Reaper's new Bones campaign just launched and it's already cleared $328K in the first few hours.  They've blown past their 2 posted stretch goals.

So if you want tons of minis cheap -- now's the time to get in.

Dear People Who Looked At My House Today:

Dear People Who Looked At My House Today:

The showing was from 5:45 to 6:15.  I come by around 6:25 and you're still there.  There's a strange car in my driveway and a young boy looking out the door.  No big deal.  Maybe you ran late or maybe you're really into the place and want a good look around.

I go chill for a while and come back and you're gone.  That's when I find blobs of red waxy stuff -- like from wax candy -- smooshed on the kitchen floor.  On a window sill.  On the carpet in my office.  On the hallway carpet upstairs.  All over my bed.  Oh and my nightstands have been open and stuff pulled out.

I assume this is the kid (or another, younger child I didn't see).  Look, I know, maybe you had to bring the kids.  But people, I spent a thousand bucks cleaning this place from top to bottom.  I've spent many hours getting my house ready and then living like a hermit so total strangers can troop through it.  Maybe keep an eye on your kids, huh?

If you buy the house, then I don't care, but if you don't...maybe don't bring the kids?  

Love...when there's money

Yeah, so I did call my relator about this.  I'm kinda pissed.

I'm super interested in this exhibit at the Smithsonian.

I'm super interested in this exhibit at the Smithsonian.  It's running for 3 years, but I'd like to see it sooner rather than later (exhibits can age badly over their run).

I'm guessing I'd have to do this in late Sept. or something.  Maybe extend my Columbus Day break.
