Well, I am now the proud owner of a '68 Ford Mustang GT. I refuse to have any kind of buyer's remorse over buying this car because 1 - we need a car, and 2 - I've always wanted this car. One of my best friends in high school was obsessed with Steve McQueen and made me watch Bullitt at least a dozen times with her. Now I'll admit that the Dodge Charger is a stronger, faster car, but you can't deny the sheer sex appeal of the Mustang. It needs a new paint job, new wheels, the body has some dents and rust showing, not to mention the interior is shit, but the engine purrs like a kitten. With any luck in a few months she'll be looking as good as she feels.

If I was a guy, you could call this a mid-life crisis, but thankfully women have no such thing.

I'm also bringing a friend home with me today. I don't know how well keeping a dog in the house will go, but no one else seems to want him and I know Nicholas wouldn't want him abandoned.

Has anyone spoken to the Deities about setting a date for the trial?


( long occ note is long )

It seems like every time I take a nice weekend off, something bad happens. This is only the second or third time, of course, but it's still enough to make me suspicious. Things always seem to be even less of a coincidence in this city than anywhere else.

Are you Do you want to Shit.

Want to get a drink?

You're still a dick, but he liked you so I might as well try.

Anybody heard from or seen Styles since Broklehurst left? We need to know if he's still going to be capable of handling the prosecution on the decapitation case.

This is just a reminder for everybody to keep police business within as narrow filters as possible.

The Warden would like us to monitor Walter Dornez's activities while he is on house arrest, so he is to check in twice a week with front-door security, us, and then the Warden. So please don't try to shoot him or something if he's in the building. I want his Network activity monitored if at all possible. If this all blows up in our faces it's going to be us cleaning up the aftermath, not the Warden, so no matter how idiotic his decision might be we've got to do our best by it.
