Katie Couric needs to not name this. American TV needs to not name this. Did they name the other terrorist attacks on London?
Part of me feels I should be more agitated by this. Hell, a fair portion of that metric buttload of relatives a) live in London b) are of unknown status. But my response is tempered by there not being a damned thing I can do, and the knowledge that millions of Londoners were nowhere near any of the blast sites. I know my immediate family is safe, and that will have to do for now.
Once the dust has settled, I'll look again. In the interim, I'm sure there are plenty of people to pick up the worry slack.
I'm pretty sure I heard Karie Couric use "Ground Zero London" a few minutes ago.
Okay, that's especially boneheaded.
Katie Couric needs to not name this. American TV needs to not name this.
That would be lovely, if they didn't.
so in none horrible world events news,
A combination of getting my shelves in from IKEA and doing a light installation this weekend got me inspired to finally start working on my kitchen wall that was hit earl this spring with a second mild water damage. Last night I scraped the areas of bubbled paint and got everything prepped to sand tonight. It's really not that much work, but it involved pulling out cabinetry that houses the sink and dishwasher, thus disconnecting pipes in the sink drain. I also discovered that some areas will require spot plaster work which is a bit of a pain, but without a kitchen sionk, I will be motivated to finish it quickly..
Katie Couric needs to not name this
Katie Couric needs to return to being a brunette with normal-sized lips. (I hadn't seen her in a long time till this morning, and yikes. I can understand why the Kingdom of teh Perky is becoming a tyranny.)
But yeah, the buzz machines are always desperate to give something a name, no matter how inappropriate.
this spring with a second mild water damage.
OK, you need to have the water curse lifted from your place.
I was longing yesterday for the day when I'll be in London again, and I'm still longing for it today.
Yes this. If only as a two fingered salute to the fuckers who did this.
Brother is good, though stuck at work.
My god, msbelle, you're a maintenance whizz-bangy person.
My sister has reported our first related "but for the grace of my alarm clock" story -- well, a friend's husband was early for work, and therefore wasn't where he usually was when the bombs went off, which'd have been right in the explosion. 9/11 we had a friend who worked in one of the towers that was late leaving home.
Ground Zero London?
Dude, there were 4 explosions! Which one is ground zero?
Idiots.
