brief in a genuine way, not in a legal way

We're producing the brief here, so I'm a bit busier today than I hoped. But we have more time than usual. So hopefully I can go to the post office on my lunch hour to mail the tapes to torreycanyon, justaboi, and fish. Kisha, your package is delayed because of your Barry Manilow request. Hopefully tomorrow I can mail it. OH! And Jim, I got your tape in the mail yesterday and it's fabulous. I listened to it on the way to work and by my desk while making edits! Thank you so much. I'm already in love with King Kapisi.

This morning on the radio they reported that fans of Aaliyah were upset by the release of her movie Queen of the Damned -- it seems disrespectful because of her death or something. I found this hilarious. It would NEVEr occur to me to be offended by this movie for that reason. In other Queen of the Damned related news, I noticed on a movie poster at the train station that it's rated R for "Vampire Violence". Apparently, that an official category in the ratings system. I find this even MORE hilarious.

And in serious news, I'm quite heartbroken about the death of Sylvia Rivera. No time to post a news article or e-mail about it, though dannyboi did, I believe. I must re-read Martin Duberman's "Stonewall" in memorial.

Staff call!!
