Hi Nilly!

And now it looks like we'll be dealing with a University of Michigan football stadium full of dead people. It holds over 100,000. It's a big stadium.

Gah. They're now saying 114,000. And I can't imagine what's going to happen in the weeks to come.

My best friend spent six months in Sri Lanka last year. She's been frantically hoping for information about her people there, but it's been slow coming in. Some people she'll probably just never know about.

According to her, it being some sort of holiday period, and a full-moon, to boot, many more people than normal would have been in the coastal areas - everyone heads for the beach. She saw an aerial image of the town where she most likely would have been. Flattened, nothing left.

Look at that - it's almost like I could sense Cash was going to talk about getting her hair cut. Is Owen up already?

He's an early riser--6:30 a.m. is about average.

It's been 12 weeks since I had a haircut at least!! That's insane for me. I used to be an every 8 weeks kind of girl.

Um? East Coast where? What station? Was it live (a little notice would have been nice--just sayin')

I mentioned it! Albany, New York - WGY. Yeah, it was live. However, I got to pimp Barnes and Noble online since Amazon's lagging on deliveries, and the DJ was enthusiastic about the book.

You know, if I were in Ohio, I'd babysit for you to facilitate this process.

It's not the shortest it's ever been, but it's close. And very curly.

Right. On. I've got some pictures off you with short hair so that's a good visual reference.

I too, need a haircut.

It's like an epidemic of shagginess.

But there is a vacation to loof forward to, right after that, right?

Indeed. I took Tuesday and Wednesday off. Go into work today. Then have Friday off. Emmett's going to be with his Mom at a beach house, so (as it happens) I'll be cutting JZ's hair and we'll be wallowing in some Alone!Together time.

Hey, has anyone heard of any bottled water companies providing portable water to the tsunami ravaged areas?

I know Coke is. I live in Coke's hometown, and it was on the local news last night.

You've pinpointed the cause for said shagginess. Topped off by DH's insane hours in the past two months.

I've skipped - is that some mistake on their side, or does it mean that more copies were ordered than they thought, in which case it's a yay-you scenario?

Oops, look at the time. I'll read the answer after I get back from class.

The last time I had mine cut was April or May of 2003.

I've heard that Anheuser Busch cans drinking water instead of beer and donates it to disaster relief agencies. The did it in the last few hurricanes, but I'm not sure if they're doing the same thing with the tsunamis.

You skipped! You're Nilly, you're not allowed to skip!

Okay, I guess graduate work in Physics might be a legitimate reason to skip and skim.

The actual scenario seems to be: they ordered low and demand was higher than they expected so we probably lost some holiday sales. But at least there was demand. However, I don't collect royalties on unmet demand.

Miller does that, or has done, for the hurricanes, so hopefully something along those lines will happen. Bottles, though, so you can see what it is.
