Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The situation does actually continue to get worse in New Orleans. Jefferson Parish is under martial law, and the breaches in the levee keep pouring water in.

The phones seem to still be out in Jackson. I haven't been able to get in touch with my parents.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, Dana. I hope you get in touch with them soon.

Would rappers' mug shots be distracting or amusing for you? [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So, who has a mountain of dirt that could be donated to southern Louisiana? I think, after this, the whole city of New Orleans needs to be taller.

Basically, Dana, they can't step in and start seriously pumping out water until after they rebuild some kind of levee wall, right? Or else, dig a really big hole someplace else that all the water can drain to.

Yeah, I don't think there's anywhere for the water to go. The Army Corps of Engineer are supposed to be working on the leak problem, but what can you do? t shrug

Plaquemines Parish is also under martial law now.

Oh Dana, I hope you hear from them soon.

In my dream Plei was showing off various pieces of wood she was drying for future use.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dana, I stayed up late obsessively watching the news for you. I hope you ended up getting a little bit of rest and that you can get in touch with your parents soon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you should happen to read a news story of someone beating a coworker to death, shouting "INDOOR VOICE! INDOOR VOICE!", that would be me.
