Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I liked political bombers a lot more when they called in advance and let everybody evacuate.
Yes. This. You could admire the method somewhat, regardless of sympathy for the cause.
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.
It's the most likely, as well as the most soothing thought.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The BBC is reporting that contrary to earlier reports, there were four explosions.

Not that I know of. But I don't know what the cats do while we're at work.
Hubs called (he's at work). Says Metro was normal for the commute in at 7-8 a.m., Eastern U.S. time.

ita, I'm glad that things seem OK for your family. Also, very thoughtful of you, to keep the phone lines open.
