You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a Newsweek article a couple weeks ago about how Bush had met with lots of families of soldiers killed in Iraq, and how compassionate and empathetic he had been.

I think it's likely that he's better one on one than in front of the cameras. It goes along with the way he raised all those zillions of dollars in small rooms before he even started running for president.

What, she tourists into a disaster area to gawk and take pictures of people who just lost everything and then has the balls to talk about class?

You know, I really liked living in Philadelphia and everything, but I swear to god that city has the highest proportion of people with no class that I've ever seen. Like that woman.

I continue to be able to comprehend what's going on down there in the gulf.

Well, it does beat a hammer. As does a knife. But if you're worried about handling weapons in general, go with something less intrinsically effective (and therefore potentially dangerous to your untrained self).

But I'm in my kitchen, right? The knives are closer.....

In shallow news, I just saw a promo for "How I Met Your Mother" billing AH as "American Pie's Alyson Hannigan." Hmph.

Congrats, Stephanie!! You ROCK.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Well, I just made my big-for-me tiny-in-terms-of-the-need Red Cross contribution to appease my... you know, I'm not sure what it is. It's like, gobsmackedness at what's going on down there. 30,000 people living in a stadium? Unreal! So I threw money at it.

Er, and also I found out today I got a 92 out of 100 on the math section of the MTEL, so that's one more step toward teacher licensure checked off the list.

The ads for that make me think they are totally trying to be Coupling .

Oh, also, Kenneth Cole was our orientation dinner speaker tonight, and he's totally my new boyfriend. FYI.

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

You've evacuated, silly, and are looting.

Oh, good luck with that.

Oh, never mind, then.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

As many as 30,000 people were being housed in the Louisiana Superdome, where toilets were overflowing and there was no air conditioning to provide relief from 90-degree heat.

I don't think it is 60K yet.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Who said 60? It wasn't me, certainly!

In any case, I'm actually not capable of distinguishing between the two. I know one is twice the other, but when it comes to lots of people in one place, my brain goes, "One hundred, five hundred, one thousand, many."

I'm like that on the whole thing, honestly. There's like, not so bad, pretty bad, and then jesus christ what are we going to do?
