Yay.
Sunday: Adopted a new cat from an ex-coworker. It's big, jet black, and angry.
Monday: Said black cat stopped hissing and scratching at me, and started being friendly upon noticing my enormous potential as a source of table scraps. Got my first purr out of him. My sister called him "Carlito," and it seems to have stuck.
Tuesday: I bought a bunch of trousers my size, brought them home, and found out they are loose. Apparently, I've gone down a size. Belts and weight loss for the win.
Wednesday: Had a lot of fun on the last big pre-election episode of Off the Hook.
Tonight: I shall collect my lovely girlfriend Nicky from the airport. Squee!
Tomorrow: Along with Nicky, some NYC2600 folks, and anyone else local who would like to meet up, I shall be marching in the Village Halloween Parade. After the parade, there will be a 24-hour-long set of renegade shenanigans orchestrated by The Danger, those zany individuals behind things like "One Night of Fire." I shall definitely check that out, dragging her Nickyship (and anyone else who wishes) along.
If any of you local folks would like to join us for any of tomorrow's festivities, please get in touch ASAP! The more, the merrier.

to do
Things I had planned to accomplish this past weekend:
- Renew my state ID
- Get a gallery script up and running on robvincent.net while preparing for an upcoming redesign
- Do some general tightening and upgrading on my sites
- Upload two months' worth of backlogged photos to NYC2600.net
- Diagnose and repair my friend Ninja Dave's computer
- Check out a leak in my roof
- Acquire some last-minute bits and pieces for my rebooted Harpo Marx costume
- Start a new painting
Things accomplished this past weekend:
- Caught up on the remake of Knight Rider (mostly crap) and the American remake of Life on Mars (almost, but not entirely, unlike crap)
- Failed at troubleshooting Ninja Dave's computer
- Took in another cat
None out of eight isn't that bad.

video blah
Here is the first video I ever made especially for Youtube, made while chatting on Skype with my lovely girlfriend.
How terribly exciting.

I feel so much safer.
The U.S. Government has long maintained a policy that they have the right to stop and search anyone at the border. The Department of Homeland Security is now taking the position that "the border" is the 100-mile wide strip that wraps around the "external boundary" of the United States.
The ACLU took all the recent census maps and came to a rather surprising conclusion.
What we found is that fully TWO-THIRDS of the United States' population lives within this Constitution-free or Constitution-lite Zone. That’s 197.4 million people who live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.
That means the Fourth Amendment of the constitution, barring random and arbitrary stops and searches, does not apply to two-thirds of U.S. Citizens.

Hi, my name is Obviousy McJokenstein.
Still, this flick actually looks maybe a bit cool or something, possibly.
Start your eyeballs!
The Eyeballing Game. This will mess with you. I average about four points.

Politickles
Since I'm on the air tomorrow night, I won't be home in time to live-blog the last Presidential debate. Who is self-destructive brave enough to watch and snark at it in my stead?
In related news, I was on Wikipedia for some reason earlier when I noticed a "You have a new message on your talk page" thing. I wasn't signed into my account, I was just using the corporate IP here at my day job. Intrigued, I clicked the talk page and found a standard milquetoast "Welcome to Wikipedia! Please please don't vandalize us anymore like you did on (name of a flamebait political article) or we'll have no choice but to revert it and ask you not to vandalize us again" template. I went to the article's history and checked out what this mysterious person on my network did, and it was a fairly pointed and angry flame toward the article's subject.
I have no idea which of my co-workers is responsible, but I'm strangely impressed. I honestly didn't think anyone here had it in them.
Jim is back!
After about four days missing, Jim walked back into the nursing home yesterday evening. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for evaluation.
Jim's family and friends, myself included, are extremely grateful for everyone's help and support.
