Yesterday was, well, hellish. Today appears to be merely limbo-ish. I'm hoping to make it all the way up to purgatory tomorrow.

Well, apparently they've cast Kirk--saw pic, no recognition. Karl Urban (be still my heart) is their first choice for McCoy, if they can work out scheduling. Wow--one that could actually work: how novel. Clearly the scheduling will be a deal breaker. Crap.

"Assessment" is a four-letter word.

I'm tired and I want a cookie.

I hate jumping to conclusions,

...and maybe it was all just a horrible accident,

but this just pisses me off.

Because our CBS feed at home comes out of NYC, I saw this at 11 PM last night.

Apparently the puppy (they figure about 4 months, though it looks older to me in the photos) was in the middle of the road, just frantically trying to get away from the pain. Some cars just whizzed by, some slowed down and looked, then moved on, and then one woman turned her car around, came back, and gathered the poor beast up and contacted the right people. When looking at her on the tube it occurred to me that life may have treated her as badly as it had treated the dog.

The vets say the pup has a good chance of survival if it can get the skin grafts. The animal cops say it has all the signs of a deliberate act, not an accident.

There is a special hell reserved for people who do horrible things to pets and children. Sometimes I'd like to be the person who gets the satisfaction of sending them there. This is one of those times.
