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).
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

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?

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?

Looks like it's from NASA. Here are some of their other images.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, honey. I'd be a lot calmer if I could just get in touch with my parents.
A lot of my Dad's family evacuated to Memphis.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Dana, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I don't know how much I could do from DC, but if there's anything you need, let me know.
-t, if you see this, that goes for you too.
