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.

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.

What is even happening?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Good ol' internet - source of reassurances that relatives of friends are okay, and cat talk. Glad to hear that sis is fine, ita. Hope everyone hears from loved ones soon.

So, how's that war working out again?
