That probably means the 29th, right? (since it is still the 28th here.)
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Happy Birthday to meara and Jen! (I've slept on both of their couches!)
My dad was just a month shy of 75. It might not be rational, right or whatever, but it is there, and it just is what it is, I think.
Huh. I just realized that I'm only six years younger than my Mom was when she died. That's weird.
A's are in first place again. I've never seen a team so streaky. Ever.

Kristin, at least you're not here on the left coast. It's after 1:30, and I can't sleep for watching the hurricane coverage.

Steph is me.
weather.com, however, is my abusive boyfriend.

I'm glued to the Weather Channel. I gotta go to sleep, dang it.

Hey. New board.
Kristin, at least you're not here on the left coast. It's after 1:30, and I can't sleep for watching the hurricane coverage.
Me, too.
Though at least a friend is indulging me in HP conversation, and I have Scotch to soothe the fear.

Me too. I know work will be talking about it tomorrow. One of our regional offices is there. We have our conference down there. Our bills and expenses are sent there. It was one of the perks of the job for me. Once a year a paid trip to NO.

Tep, I hear you. I just posted in F2F because I am deeply scared for the city right now. I know this isn't a fair comparison in many ways, but if Katrina does as much damage as it seems she's likely to do, I think I'm going to feel a bit like I did the day after 9/11. A city I love so much changed inexoribly. So many people lost. So much history lost.
Having finally experienced New Orleans, I think what hurts the most right now is that I don't think there's anything else like it anywhere in the world. It is the least American city I've ever seen in the United States, and I mean that as a compliment. I fell deeply in love with the French Quarter alone in just five days. I can't imagine this country without this place, and yet I can't imagine how it could ever be the New Orleans I fell for if it has to be drained and rebuilt.
I need to sleep. The students come to school tomorrow, and I'm still up working on schoolwork. It just seems so trivial in comparison.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, cities are resilient--London still has its historical personality, even after the immense destruction wreaked on it over WWII by the Germans. I think NO will be the same way. It will take some years, but that's not long considering the very long history of the city.
