Homey Don’t Play That

Sometimes a man has to protect his territory, and stand up for what is right. Even when the sun shines brightly and the fair wind sweeps away the cold of winter, we must be ever vigilant against those who would take what is ours.

Indeed, this weekend, I had yet another incident where someone was parked in my parking spot in front of the condo. This has happened quite a few times, as my spot is extremely close to the entrance into the building. The spots are private, and each resident has an option to pay for a spot (they are not cheap). Also, the parking lot is gated, and now that the condo has been up for a while, the gates are typically down. This means that the bastard was either a resident or a guest of a resident. A quick look into the beige Mercedes Benz led me to believe that the perpetrator was an old woman.

Of course one option is to simply ignore the problem and park in a different spot, but all the parking spots are numbered and reserved, and so I would have been parking in someone else’s spot. Instead, I snapped a picture of the license plate, and left a note under one of the wipers:

B45-T4RD: You are in a private parking space that I pay for. It has been several hours. Your license plate has been recorded.

Obviously, the license plate number has been altered to protect the wicked. I was seriously considering having the car towed, as it was there for at least 5 hours, but I hadn’t seen this particular car in my spot before so I decided not to be a total jerk. However, the open, free, extremely large public lot is only a few feet away from the gated private lot, so I have no compassion for the intruder. In fact, I am quite sure that my words cut the squatter to the bone, and left her a sobbing, gibbering mess (stealing is bad).

More Wikipedia Heroism

I added my first external link to Wikipedia. Now everyone searching for Lolcat will be able to find a link to I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? at the bottom.

I’d start organizing my own parade, but someone has marked the article for deletion! This requires one of those lolrus pictures with a “I has a wikee” followed by a “OH NOEZ, they be steelin mah wikee.”

Lelouch v0.6

I was sooo tempted to put Suzaku in C.C.’s place, with a nice DO NOT WANT caption, but I didn’t want to expend the effort for something so horrible. Lineart is finished, coloring is next w00t!

I am now reminded of “Can I Has Cheezburgerz?” instead, which is much more pleasant.

What’s That In the Sky

The local weather forecast last night said that there is “zero chance of rain” and that “you can’t even buy a cloud” this weekend. As a nice break from our recent string of rainy, windy, miserable months, the next few days will be warm (high ~70°F), sunny, and pleasant. Bunky and I walked to the bus stop this morning and were completely blinded by the sun; it brought back unpleasant memories of Ithaca weather.
