I'm freaking a little. Liverpool St. station is across the street from my old office. Of course, my friends were slackers, so I'm hoping that they were running late this morning.

So angry right now. So fucking angry. If you showed me someone from Al Qaeda right now I'd happily pull the trigger myself.

And in a less murderous way, I'm pretty damn furious at someone on another list I'm on who was all, "Oh my God and I was just making London travel plans!" Way to make it all about you. And way to be a coward. I was longing yesterday for the day when I'll be in London again, and I'm still longing for it today.

Nora, that's good to read. Thanks for the updates, and more vibes.

The reporting (at least on NPR/BBC) has been very good, I've thought.

Good for them and their audience, then.

Vortex, congrats! [Edit: um, on your "Beep Me" post, not your last Natter one, of course. I hope your friends are all safe]

Vortex, good on ya. Congrats!

Nora, I'm so glad Tom's been in touch with his dad. Please let us know when you hear from the others.

Heh, this kind of makes me laugh, how shallow people can be.

my co-worker doesn't let a conversation about London pass without saying something like, "well, it's too bad that happened over there, but I just hope that it won't start happening here." I don't know why this bugs so much. Possibly because I have personal stakes over there, as well as here. I guess what she is saying makes sense, if one doesn't.

I found a website of live London traffic cams. [link] None of the cams are showing anything; it looks like they've all been shut down.

Congratulations, Vortex! That sounds like pretty long range planning for house buying - is it being built to your specifications or something?

I am obsessively following Hurricane Dennis' progress. I don't know why, but I'm finding it easier to contemplate natural disasters than man made ones.

This kind of thing makes me nuts.

And yes, so relieved for everyone who's heard from friends and family members, and hoping and praying for everyone who's waiting to hear.

I can't say anything that doesn't sound deeply inane.

Except why is my local NPR station playing an orchestral version of We Are the Champions between stories?

Hurts my brain.

My two good friends in London (infinitemonkeys and cazling on LJ) have both checked in okay.

Fuckers.
