I think I will stay away from the news today.
Anything important happens, I'll hear it from someone I know.
Bunnies frighten me.

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.

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

Play with those puppies, msbelle.
Uhg. Well, I got an extra hour of sleep. When the radio went off this am I caught the "bombings" part, but not where. Decided I was NOT going to wake up, pulled the pillow over my head, caught the location and went back to sleep. Not a very useful technique.
Wishing the best for all.
Cindy is supposed to start dumping her leftovers here tonight. Here's hoping Dennis gets a cold and proves to be a failure as a hurricane.

I can't take too many bad news all at once. I turn the tv/radio off, even at the stage that connie described, when things are not yet fully known. I just can't take too much of it. I'll check a news site online once every hour or so, but anything more than that makes me numb.

It's odd. I'm a big ol' news junkie, but the place I first heard about the London bombings was on lj.
Me too. Last night, before they knew they were bombings. That was only five hours ago now. I saw my friend's post, went WTF, checked the news, and went to bed reassured but slightly uneasy.
Jesus.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Bombs are fucking stupid. Gah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Safety vibes for your brother, grommit.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the fog of news
Good phrase. As an inveterate clicker, I surfed from one network to the next, to CNN, only to see the exact same interview clip on each station (staggered in time, enough to be irritating). The bizarre thing was that at 7am my time, the bombings were 3 hours old, and the aftermath footage was still unbelieveably vague and far-off. If you have that little, just give half-hour updates and go with your regular programming, you know?
