It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to Jen and meara!

David Blaine is a very, very good magician. It's his job to make it look like miracles, and he does.

Too bad he turned into a hipster freak. When that Street Magic show first aired a few years ago, I had to call people to see if they were watching, because it was just so freaky.

So, it looks like the storm turned a little? I just heard on the tv that windows are starting to blow out of some fancy hotel, and it makes me wonder why they didn't board them up. Does that not actually work?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy birthday Jen and meara!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Jen and meara!

I've been visiting family for the past three days, and watching the weather station with horrified fascination. I lived through Hurricane Fran a while back, and it was not as powerful as Katrina. I'm a good five hour drive inland, to boot. And yet there were trees down everywhere, the water wasn't safe to drink for days, and we went a week without power. I hope New Orleans and New Orleanders come through OK.

What is even happening?

Welcome back, Cindy!

Thank you, Nilly.

I sometimes don't even recognize the names inside the Natter thread, which I'm supposadly keeping up with (which translates to skipping muchly, but still).

I think there's a couple of new people, or at least people who are new to Natter, and maybe Minearverse. I kept meaning to make note of their names when I was catching up, but more often than not, catching up was a big skip and skim. A skimp. That's what it was. A skimp.
