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.

Wherever the reporter on the scene is standing at the moment.

AWESOME, thegrommit. Thanks for letting us know.
I am distracting myself by reading Overheard in NY. And giggling.

In Israel, where sadly we have too many of these sorts of news, there are rarely names, but some sort of adjectives competitions. Like, when to say that it's just an attack, when to say that it was a murderous attack, when to say that it was a tragic one, horrible and so forth, as if not all of them answer to each of these descriptions.

What sara said (also, sara, I've skipped - are things starting to look a bit better for you?)
[Edit: thegrommit, very good to read that your brother is OK.]
Katie Couric needs to not name this. American TV needs to not name this. Did they name the other terrorist attacks on London?
I'm watching BBC news and staying away from American TV for now. The facts I've gotten off them are more detailed anyway--like the specific sites, how they're getting people out of their, etc.
Nilly, it looks like I'm safe for now. That could change but I think all the notifications went out tuesday. They are so cagey about it, I can't be certain.
