It is PISSING DOWN RAIN here right now.

Despite living in California for 10 months, I haven't needed an umbrella the entire time. It has misted up a few times, but rain has only occurred a couple times so far, and it's been at night. This is the first daytime rain we've had in a while, it feels like. Maybe it just rained when I was already at work and I didn't notice. But it's seriously coming down.

My life is fast approaching a lost episode of The Jerry Springer Show.

My MIA dad is now shacked up with a woman 20+ years his junior with her 3 kids. They are staying in a roach motel notorious for its unsavory activities.

Google fun: 4 years ago, this female claimed that a black woman attacked her and forced her to a house where men gang raped her for days.

She later went to the police and admitted she made the entire thing up because she was engaging in "shameful behavior."

Said by a female client to a female analyst after a call was transferred to her this morning (due to another analyst not being able to troubleshoot a simple problem after 30 minutes):

"You know how when you're having sex, and the guy doesn't know what he's doing? You just want to get away as soon as possible. That's how I felt on that call."

Officer Charged With Plotting to Kidnap Women and Cook Them

Quote

A New York police officer was arrested Wednesday in Queens by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on suspicion of a federal kidnapping conspiracy in which he discussed cooking and eating female body parts, according to a criminal complaint.

The evidence against the officer, a six-year veteran of the New York Police Department, consists of e-mails and instant messages in which he was “discussing plans to kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and eat body parts of a number of women,” according to the complaint against the officer, Gilberto Valle.

Officer Valle, who worked in the 26th Precinct in Manhattan and lives in Forest Hills, Queens, is not known to have engaged in any of the acts he discussed, one person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the charges remain under seal.

In one message to a co-conspirator, Officer Valle wrote that he was contemplating cooking a person “over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible,” according to the complaint.

“The allegations in the complaint really need no description from us,” Mary E. Galligan, the F.B.I. acting assistant director, said in a statement. “They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle’s own words and actions were shocking.”

One more week of a hellish work schedule. All I do once I get home is curl up with my dog and watch Nip/Tuck on Netflix.

The good news is that I'm going to be taking Fridays off the month of November and then I'm going to take two weeks off in December. I'm going to finally play the game I've been wanting to play but didn't have the block of time to do a decent playthrough: Skyrim.

This Hurricane Sandy sounds like a real bitch (heh.)

If I die during Hurricane Sandy, my parents will want to do something with my belongings. What I'm most worried about is my 5 year collection of pornographic videos and images. None of them illegal, I just have a wide variety of the,. Many of which would be embarrassing, I'm sure.

So look, if any of you hear about my untimely demise. Try and reach out to my surviving family and tell them to stay out of the subfolder "TOTO - GREATEST HITS" in the "MSBuild" folder under "program files x86" in the main local disk directory. The Toto - Greatest Hits subfolder in the music folder is 100% safe, though. You might also want to tell them to stay out of my bookmarks too.

Oh and that all my worldly possessions are to be split between my brother and sister.

Thanks and hopefully nobody dies a horrible death!

Now I'm just really curious what was originally between the comma and period.
