Although I can't help but wonder if my lost relatives are on the list...

In a show of either bad or flat-out bizarre taste, they're doing the Holocaust "Reading of the Names" today, standing outside the library and reading off the names of the people who died during the Holocaust. Only they picked an exceedingly poor day to do it, fair weather aside.

Also my enter and right shift keys have popped off my keyboard and won't go back on again on account of one of the hinges is broken. Ugh.

EDIT: Scheming older woman which I've been fangirling and her blackmailing older husband/brother of her late husband just started having a hate!makeout session! I totally called it!

...0_0 It is, indeed, a terrible day to do anything like that!

No kidding. I'm guessing no one thought of it.

Assuming the announcement itself wasn't an AFJ, that's a lot of names... even at one per second, it'd take around two months of 24-hour days. Unless they're just reading a subset, I guess.

To be honest I'm not quite sure how they do it. It might be on a regular schedule, reading a group of names for a few days every year.

And it wasn't a joke, I saw someone out there by the podium reading names this morning. They were up to the 'Levi's.

That almost sounds tasteless, but leans more towards being stupid timing.

I don't think they did it on purpose. At least, I hope not.
