Update: Store owner testifies Pitonyak bought hacksaw and cleaning supplies - Breaking News

"Pitonyak's defense team admitted in opening arguments Tuseday that the former UT student shot Jennifer Cave but did not take actions pursuant to the definition of murder."

Hmm... He admits that he shot her and she wound up dead - in pieces - in his bath tub. I haven't heard anything about him trying to take her to an emergency room, or call an ambulance. To me, shooting someone and not trying to secure some sort of life saving aid for them is murder. Especially if you go on a Mexican vacation the next day.

The beginning:
Witnesses paint picture of Cave's last night - Top Stories

Resolutions:

1) Be less angry.
2) No drinking when sad.
3) Cut back on smoking - oh wait, thanks to Gov. Perry and the $1.00 increase in cigarette prices this will be easy.
4) Save some money!

This is why all of my pets are rescues. They either find me, or I find them in a shelter - but there is no buying.

Tiny Tim
"He was one of about 30 that were rescued late last week from a local puppy mill by the Brown County Humane Society, Animal Control, and the All Texas Dachshund Rescue out of Austin. There are still about 100 more dogs at that location, but due to the lack of enforceable legislation, they had to be left behind."

To see what a puppy mill can do scroll down. It's an awful image. Worse than anything I've ever seen on Animal Cops.

to make a bad day worse -

I really tried to be positive today despite my early early-morning panic.

At the end of the day it just isn't working for me.

I was 10 minutes late to class, but that is only five minutes later than the professor, so I wasn't too shook up about it. I was giving a presentation in class, but I had mailed my outline to the kid putting it in power point, so I was set.
Only, it didn't work out that way. Less than a fifth of what I needed made it into the power point. So, I get to look like the idiot? Partially my fault - I should have printed out my outline. I guess I was just being optimistic.

Big paper due in 2nd class - not finished. No worries, I went to the lab to work on it.

Still not finished when it came time for the quiz in the 3rd class . No time to do a once-over on the notes again ... What year WAS the UNCED Earth Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro?

1992. That's what I wanted to put. I only had to answer 10 of the 12 questions, so I skipped it. Now I wish I hadn't.

They watched a movie, I snuck out. It's great that the lecture hall bathroom also has a door that leads outside. GREAT!

Back to the Library.. let's see it's 11:30, I'll just hang out here in the computer lab until... 4:45. Crap, time for work.

So this bitch in a Taurus parked where no space exists behind me and blocked me in. Trust me, I tried to get out quite a few times before I was successful. I bumped the Lexus next to me in the process. I should have just plowed her Taurus. It was her fault and a the car was a P.O.S. Problem is, I like my back bumper too much. I called UTPD instead, hopefully the Taurus will get the boot! In the end, a guy helped guide me out after I pulled up 'close like a lover' to the SUV parked next to me. I had an inch and a half to get past her.

Guess who was almost out of gas?
One try.

Ooh, ooh - here is a good one - Guess who was late for work?
Right-O.

Guess who has a tire that has ridiculously low air?
That's a tricky one, huh?

This isn't even all of it!
Can you imagine what my day would have been like if I hadn't been positive as long as possible? I mean, I deserve credit for making it until almost 5pm.

Fuck today.

Things from The Daily Texan that you should know about:

This fucking disgusts me. Nazis, in Texas.

"Charles Wilson, a member of the National Socialist Movement, yells "Sieg Heil," German for "Hail Victory,'" at the crowd of protesters that formed at the Capitol. The Nazi members held the rally to oppose illegal immigration in Texas and the United States."




I share her sentiment in counter-protest.

"Tracy Rutherford shows her disgust for the National Socialist Movement, otherwise known as the American Nazi Party, at a rally at the Capitol Saturday afternoon. Rutherford and other activists staged a counter-protest against the Nazi presence in Austin."



I can't believe I forgot this! I am so SAD!

"Models Kiley Blake, Aliana Villarreal, Latasha Currell and Heather Walton walk down the Stitch runway on Saturday night at the Austin City Music Hall. Their clothes were from Jenny Milne's label Machine Ballerina."

Guess I'll go see STITCH next year. Boo!

I have 2 1/2 hours left today at work.

I feel like I might not make it. I am so irritable I don't want to be around myself.

I know that my day has not gone right so far. There is always something wrong if I smell more like perfume than cigarette at 4pm.

The randomizer is so accurately random that I saw about 10 of the blogs more than once today. I didn't want it THAT random.

.:blegh:.
