Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

But I have no idea if the trains are running yet.

I know the street lights in the area are all blinking red.

Silence means security silence means approval

Useless fact I learned from the magazine section of the Sunday Seattle Times:

The Japanese word katsu (as in tonkatsu or the signs in the U District advertising "chicken katsu") is a corruption of the word cutlet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Will someone tell me to stop compusively checking ebay to see if more people have bid on my tickets?

OK, traffic will be a bitch and I'm sure it freaked a lot of people out (and probably caused some injuries) but

Lee Sapaden, a spokesman for the county Office of Emergency Management, said the massive power failure was caused after an employee "inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.

Some days I'm surprised we as a species make it out of bed without maiming ourselves.

"inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.

Yeah, I heard that on the radio.

So, just so everyobdy knows, especially any terrorists -- cutting one wire brings it all down! And that wire is in the West LA substation.

See, this is why backhoes should be banned. And don't give me any of that "if backhoes are banned, only construction workers will have backhoes." I don't care. Darn things are a menace.
