When is landfall supposed to be? And when is it supposed to have passed New Orleans?
I'm filled with a whole lot of YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S NEW ORLEANS which doesn't seem to be fading. Perhaps I should coccoon, or else get a sense of perspective.
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.

Sunrise. 6:00 am, IIRC.
Dana, I am glad you have talked to your parents now. Let shrift and DH distract you now.
Cass, one kid called it a puppycat.Oooh, do they want a puppycat of their very own? I think she'd ship. Few air holes, a priority stamp and Jordan's your puppycat... InotsoON, guess who likes to lie across the laptop? And reboot it?
they were like, OMG I have knowledge nobody else has! POWER!!!Hee!
I have a LOT of fresh sage this year. Someone please give me suggestions about what to do with it all.Roast a chicken. Stuff half a lemon in it, smoosh some butter mixed with the sage under the skin and roast away. Yum.
Also? In browned butter over any variety of pastas, especially stuffed.
I ate all my sage, I am sad.
My basil is being dramatic and wants water but I don't think I care enough to drag the hose around. Maybe I will just take it a glass of water instead.

I also sent an email to work saying I would not be in tomorrrow. Referenced my doctor's orders in it. I feel guilty and relieved at the same time.
California Lemon-Butt Chicken!
Don't go to work, Cass. And don't feel bad about it.
This just seems surreal:
A statement from the National Weather Service in Slidell, near New Orleans, Louisiana, warned that much of the affected area "will be uninhabitable for weeks, perhaps longer."
Low-rise, wood-frame buildings will be destroyed, and concrete apartment buildings "will sustain major damage," it said.
"High-rise office and apartment buildings will sway dangerously, a few to the point of total collapse," the warning read.
"All windows will blow out. Airborne debris will be widespread, and may include heavy items such as household appliances and even light vehicles."
California Lemon-Butt Chicken!Yep. Coming soon to a Buffista cookbook near you.
Don't go to work, Cass. And don't feel bad about it.Not going to work. Still working on the guilt.

This. This is my problem at the moment.
6 AM????
Dear lord. I hope my cousin had the sense to get out.
Ah, well. Maybe I won't be needing to go back and get my stuff out of storage anymore. I think I do need to coccoon. I mean, I'm not over the destruction of Port Royal, and that was almost 300 years before I was born.

I've never been, and I'm filled with it, too. Selfishly, I don't want to have to say I never saw New Orleans before. Damn it.
It's not like anyone has anything new to say, anyway.
This is always my problem with wall-to-wall coverage of anything, but even worse, something that hasn't happened yet.
Me, I'm watching the MTV Video awards, and... not hating it. Puffy makes me laugh, but I do like the songs. I'm having a resurgence of being familiar with, and liking, the Pop Music Of Today.
