I'm posting from it right now.
IIFG?
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy birthday to Jen and meara!
Busy weekend. Saturday we spent most of the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms in the condo.(It goes on sale next week) Yesterday we(with the help of some friends) cleaned out the storage unit I've been renting.(One of the friends who helped was delighted that he got to toss some dumpster-bound furniture off a second story balcony. It's the little things that make life good...)
My back and arms are a bit sore, which isn't really surprising to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Too bad he turned into a hipster freak.

OK, MSNBC says a little different:
At the Superdome, where thousands sought shelter, two holes opened in the roof and rain was leaking in.
And some ~ma for this guy:
Resident Chris Robinson said via cellphone from his home east of downtown that “I’m not doing too good right now.”
“The water’s rising pretty fast,” he added. “I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I’m holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live.”

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, so why the fuck did he stay in his house? Oy.

Silence means security silence means approval
It appears New Orleans will live to fight another day. The eyewall passed to the east of the city, so they didn't get the big winds. And apparently levees are overtopped, but not by much, so the cataclysmic flooding won't happen. The Superdome "membrane" has been torn off, but apparently things are still OK; they're moving people inside the dome.
So, NOLA is fine. Slidell, Blioxi, Gulfport... not so fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Orderly line, please!

I wonder about that, but it's precisely what my parents would do. It makes sense, but is not sensible.

Yeah, but with a storm this size, the winds to the west of the eye are still pretty damn big.
The counterclockwise spin of a hurricane makes the worst damage on its eastern edge, but CNN meteorologist Chad Myers cautioned that "there's not really an easy side of a Category 4 storm" on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

I was gonna say -- granted, it sounds like NOLA won't experience the worst-case scenario of direct hit, category 5 storm, but it sure doesn't sound like the city will be "spared," per se.
