Swouncing

For someone I've never met she was in my thoughts a lot this am.

Yeah, in mine, as well. I'm glad you heard from her, ita. Also, I hope everything in Jamaica is OK.

Nora, I hope that trying to concentrate on something - like work - will make you feel a bit better.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Woke up to the news this morning, and watched CNN groggily. I've been in King's Cross Station, and Edgeware. Poor city, and also, what a mess.

I liked political bombers a lot more when they called in advance and let everybody evacuate.

Per my friends in England, phone service has been horribly affected, so it might be a while 'til you hear. Good thoughts and prayers for them and you both.

We're attempting to email. Tom is of the opinion that his friends are likely displaced (due to the whole Underground being shut down) are in the pub, waiting to go home.

What is even happening?

Yes. This. You could admire the method somewhat, regardless of sympathy for the cause.

It's the most likely, as well as the most soothing thought.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm taking a little time off, so posting from home.

Max is on the monitor, napping.

Would try photography, but he's still embarrassed about his recent haircut.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus. What a mess. Just... everything.

In completely unimportant non-news, yes, Lori, Homer's ear is always like that. He apparently had a hematoma pre-me, and the old owners didn't keep the little splint on his ear long enough for it to heal. He actually still had a stitch in there when I got him. Stupid non-me owners.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I called home, and they're bracing calmly for the hurricane in 4 hours. Not as bad as either of the ones that swept by last year -- my father seems pretty blasé about the whole thing.

He's spoken to my sister, so I e-mailed her instead and left the phone lines to people who don't know their loved ones are okay.

Gah. I don't have words, and I still haven't showered.

I'm going to be thinking mighty peaceful thoughts today.

I am glad to know that, ita. It seems like last years' just happened.

move out and draw fire

Poor kitty...has he called the ASPCA to get the "lion cut" outlawed?

Why is Bush even at the G-8? It's not like he's a big believer in global warming, and his stance on the redistribution of wealth clearly doesn't include ending African poverty.

AP is saying 4 bombs, now.

And I just learned that the NYPD will be doing drills outside work today.

Yeah, pre-planned subway terror drills here today. Nice timing.
