[writing] When Comics are Smarter Than Me

Jim Van Pelt has a really good post up about writing--specifically, about writing something original and unexpected.


Of course, this is more for my own reminder, but some of you writers out there may find it interesting too. Thanks to jaylake for pointing it out!

Mass Exodus

So.

Regarding the BART shooting trial, they just released the verdict moments ago...guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Given the info that I'd read and heard, that's a verdict I can agree with.

In some neighborhoods, though, I'm sure there will be people that won't.

So yeah, as soon as people found out the verdict was going to be released, there was a mass exodus (including emmalyon) of people heading home to avoid any uproar that may or may not arise out of all of this. Me? I've been working at home all this week per my boss' boss' instructions, so I'm avoiding it.

We'll see how this all unfolds...
