Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Virgin uses the Sprint network for connectivity. So if you can use Sprint in a location, you can use Virgin Mobile. Since I was already Sprint and have had good connectivity for the kinds of places I go, it wasn't any worse than I'd been experiencing.

Eeek for New Orleans! Especially because the closer parts of MS where I expect most people evacuated to, isn't doing any better....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I talked to my mom earlier and she said every hotel in a 100 mile radius from Memphis (where she is) is completely booked. The casinos in Tunica, MS converted their convention rooms into shelters and put up cots. As of 10 pm last night, they still had some cots available (after than, my parents' power went out and they hadn't gotten any more news).

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yow. Other than Andrew, I can't remember another one that was that tightly organized and also that big.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm going away from the news. The looting stories are making me ill.

I'm with ita. Think about the pretty. James Purefoy plays Marc Antony in Rome. I'll confess that's what made me tune in the first time.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a pay-as-you-go phone/plan from T-Mobile. Anyone have any experience they want to share, or an alternate recommendation that I could get up and running by Thursday morning?

Skipping ahead like crazy to say -- if you don't have a phone by Thursday, my cell is yours to monopolize this weekend.

Can't beat that dude with a stick. Or, I mean, you can, and that is what is fun about him.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That pic looks faked. Not saying it is, but where's the source?
