The executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society talked at church today. I’ve bitched about Sheriff Arpaio for allowing a woman to deliver her child in irons, and today I found out, while tears exploded out of my eyes THAT CANADIAN CITIZENS WHO GIVE BIRTH IN JAIL DO SO IN HANDCUFFS.
My disgust for the Canadian ‘justice’ system has never been greater. No… words.
I should have been doing work for church, but instead I went for a walk in East Van with Carly, Paul and Katie. I could not pry Jeff loose from Nascar and Keith was working. Carly has gone from being gorgeous to being unearthly, courtesy of a completely natural set of blonde streaks due to travelling in Central America for four months and then working outside the whole summer. I love that girl, she is so smart and … you know, decorative and pleasant. And funny. And she has superlative taste. Great seeing her interact with her coz Katie.
Keith has a job interview for another part time job downtown. If he gets another day per week he’ll be in very good shape. He also doesn’t mind if he doesn’t get it as it’s an opportunity to practice his job interview skills. Keith in many respects is a brutally practical individle… wonder where he gets that from.
Jeff just knocked at my door wondering if it was a church day. Yes…. but I don’t have to open or close, so beautifully, I need only leave at 10.
After we dropped Katie back at work (she’s been hauling full shifts because of the staffing chaos at her job) at two I went to Galloway’s in New West for almonds for biscotti. Son of a bear! I am extremely miffed because the almonds were CRAP. So no biscotti – I could be a jerk and make them anyway but I have a brand reputation to maintain.
Which ties in very neatly to my reading – I am reading Zero History. There are some very cool ideas in that book.
I am off to church now. Choir sings, and ha ha, you’re going to miss it.
I will have to COMPLETELY rewrite my freaking homily. THAT’S what happens when you think you know what you’re doing and then go into Buffy Research Mode. I’ve been taking my glasses off and putting them back on A LOT.
I don’t think I’ll go to Vcon. I gots no energy for Cons right now.
