Cindy, I always feel compelled to disclaimer my dad because, well, it's just easier that way.
Hee.
Growing up, my parents had tapes of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynne singing "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly". IJS.
Okay, I'm learning that song, and singing it, next time dh and I get cranky with one another. That's hysterical.
Johnny Cash, I love. Willie Nelson, I adore. Loretta on her own, you bet. Conway AND Loretta. NSM.
Hee. Oh, did you read little bam bam hold forth on Miss Loretta's recent album in the spoilers thread? It was yonks ago, now. But still? little bam bam. *contented sigh*
Or should I say a few hollars over.
Okay, I'm starting to realize my "hee" isn't so post worthy, and yet? Hee.
Goodnight nice people.

This, I missed. And am sorry I did. I'll go back and find it though, because I've heard great things about it and Jack's White's work on it. Plus, I like the plucky lady. She's terribly funny and sounds EXACTLY like my Aunt Delphia.
I'm watching stuff on the tsunami. My brain is bending. Most of my news has been through NPR, without the visuals, which has allowed my brain to imagine the pictures, which was horrifying enough. This is just...insane.
I read someone somewhere who said that the reason the individual stories appeal so much is because we can't really comprehend the reality of the numbers. So we need one person, one story to begin to get a handle on it. All that water.

I heard an interview with Lynne on the collaboration with Jack White. It was neat (sounds like they had a blast), and the snippets sounded incredible.
In case anyone is keeping track, today goes in the not very good day columns.
thwump.

There's one video I saw this morning, which must have happened after a first wave had come in. I don't know which country the video was taken in, but it was of a resort area, and you could see on man trying to help another man get into a building, for safety.
Moments later, the wall of water began pouring over the wall next to them, and the two men were swept away. Just like that.
That image got sort of burned into my mind.
Sorry to hear about your sucky day, Lee.

ABC is showing footage and interviews from the Tsunami.
Have we heard *anything* from Polter-Cow? Are we likely to?
My understanding is that he was in the north of India, and not near a coast, but I know I'll be much happier when he finally checks in again.
I know that even without a major disaster, he made it sound highly unlikely he'd be able to check in until returning to the states, and his own computer.
