I assume no one is talking about this racist insanity because no one got shot?

The emerging details of the incident in and around Times Square, provided chiefly by the police, have begun to shape a fuller picture of what became a wild scene at one of New York's busiest tourist attractions: police officers ordering tourists to put their hands up, bomb-sniffing dogs climbing aboard the bus, and five men who appeared to be South Asian winding up handcuffed and lined up in a row on their knees. They were questioned and then released.

...

But the five men, who turned out to be British tourists, left the bus empty-handed. "That's when the decision was made to take them aside and flex-cuff them," Mr. Browne said, referring to plastic handcuffs. "And that's when the decision was made to have the Emergency Service Unit board the bus to determine whether they had left explosive devices behind."

The officers then searched the bus, and dogs sniffed for explosives. Nothing was found, said Mr. Browne. The five men had been separated from the other passengers and questioned, he said. The other passengers were also searched lightly, and their bags were lined up across Broadway for the bomb-sniffing dogs.

...

The detention of the five men has barely rippled the diplomatic waters. Mr. Bloomberg telephoned the British consul general in New York, Sir Philip Thomas, and apologized for the arrests. The two men discussed the common threats faced by the United States and Britain, according to a spokeswoman for Sir Philip.

Dear Indie Film Producers,

Stop placing "Machiavelli" in all your production company names, especially when mispelled, intentionally or not. Please. Please please please.

Thanks,

So this directing a play business is hardcore. Actually, more accurately, this organizing directing a play thing is hardcore. I need me an intern. Yet, somehow, i think I have the right mix of people coming to the casting tomorrow, and think I am organized for it (sides, info forms, general plan to seem directorial and clueful). Talk about having new respect for pretty much everyone who has ever done this on any level. What a pain in the ass. *mutter* I do it for the love *muter*

Meanwhile, I'm on a pretty agressive quest for that third waiver, and am hoping for some good news soon on any one of several things. Also got some other headshots in the mail, and feel productive on the actual acting front again.

I am TIRED.

And I should be near hysterical about all sorts of things, but I think the heat is subduing my panic instincts.

My check from FUR came today with all the taxes ever taken out because it was based on the idea that I make that much every day -- ha. But wouldn't that be brilliant?

This is me trying to change my life, one tiny aggravation at a time.

Must go personal assist now.
