Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(To be completely honest, the whole things screams "Hoax!" to me. Not saying it *can't* be real, but I won't be surprised if it's ever debunked.)

Our wings are not tired.

I couldn't sleep last night, and I ended up watching Tennis. It was some young unknown against Nadal, and I was so rooting for the other guy

His name was Jenkins. I thought he had the most angelic face. That is when I wasn't checking out the rest of him.

I'm fondly remembering Nilly's laughter. I don't think I cry in movies, but I laugh.

move out and draw fire

I'm backing away from the computer now. Reading the White House line on the New Orleans disaster is making my blood pressure surge.

I totally cry in movies. I cry at times no one else does. But heck, I've teared up at Chevy commercials. I don't cry very much at real life, though.

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

Well, he's got a bunch of photos that were obviously taken from a high elevation....

This NYT editorial might make you feel better. Or worse.

George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems to be a ritual in this administration, the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read an address of a quality more appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that anybody who wanted to help should send cash, grinned, and promised that everything would work out in the end.

...

Sacrifices may be necessary to make sure that all these things happen in an orderly, efficient way. But this administration has never been one to counsel sacrifice. And nothing about the president's demeanor yesterday - which seemed casual to the point of carelessness - suggested that he understood the depth of the current crisis

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

I didn't get that sense from a skim, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. I find it hard to believe almost anything I can't see with my own eyes about what's happening in NO right now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have an instinctive distrust of anyone who enjoys playing survival. As one might expect, I met a lot of them as I was growing up, and I can't think of one that didn't have me backing away with minutes of meeting (normally him). Survival living isn't fun or enjoyable. It shouldn't be.

I know, but I can't shake the feeling.

Coding and Sleeping

Why would someone care about server uptime in a city that's going to be evacuated for months? Just how much fuel do they have for their generators? Weird.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I stopped reading after the part where he says that women are more hysterical than men and then plugged his girlfriend's modeling site while being so proud that she was doing all the cooking and cleaning.
