bits of saturday

At last, I finally have figured out why I loathe American Apparel so much. The miasma of their pants dropping, masturbating in front of reporters creep CEO must soak into their stores and advertisements. Their CEO has be named in at least four different lawsuits that allege he sexually harassed employees, runs around the office in his underwear, asked an accountant to cook the books and numerous other bits of bad, stupid behavior. (Not to mention when this guy was interviewed for Jane Magazine, he had one of his assistants perform oral sex on him in front of the reporter. What an ass hat.)

Yesterday we had brunch at the Alamo Drafthouse and watched Saved, which I sadly missed a couple weeks ago due to my gall bladder. It's a hilarious movie. It is now on my short list of acceptable cheerful films. I am going to start calling people Hilary Faye when they annoy me.

On the way home, we got stuck in traffic on 6th street. But then we saw this teenager wandering down the street playing guitar.

We're cat-sitting for some friends, which involves going over to provide foods and lots of pets. Last night we watched a movie on our friends' giant television so the kitties could get some lap time. (And also because it is an awesome television.) Here's a kitty.

summer book indecision

Over the past two months I have accumulated an enormous stack of books to read. There's that Warren Ellis novel, the most recent Lukyanenko, a three in one edition of the original Shannara series that I was so fond of as a kid, not to mention that Jane Austen meets zombies story. Plus there are three brand new novels published in the past month I'm excited to read. I can't decide. I am overwhelmed. Sot he answer of course is the internet.
