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

Heather,
Thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone was interested, but while I'm sure some mistakes were made by some state and local officials, I don't think they're to blame for the awfulness, and to me it seems like they're the family in the car that's sinking to the bottom of the river. Maybe they should've gotten one of those escape hammer thingies. Maybe they shouldn't have taken the route over the bridge, but at that point I'm more interested in what the people outside the car did to help them. If that analogy makes any sense.
This analogy makes perfect sense to me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love it when coworkers commit my time without consulting me first.Hate. This.
I just "reprioritized" my day to do someone else's job just to get a project done for the fifth and hopefully final time. I am terrified that if I don't get it out the door today, the client find something else she wants changed, added or grown an arm. And I don't know how to code arms.
YAY for running water! I grew up in the desert in a tiny town, I understand the mezmerizing way that faucets have.

I get to reprioritize a lot. And by "get to" I mean the fan the shit hits sits on my desk.

Word. This is where I'm at, too.
Love the Lulu Eightball, but... who's Moonchild?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Moonchild was the name Bastian gave the Empress. His mother's name, IIRC.
Speaking as an Empress, it is a stupid name.

His mother's name was Moonchild? What? Very confused.

What's this about Cheney?
The day Cheney was dispatched to Biloxi for damage control/photo ops, a passerby shouted loud enough to be heard: "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney. Go fuck yourself."
Cheney laughed it off and started to say something to the effect of "He must be a friend of.... Nevermind...."
(Presumably, Cheney was going to say "he must be a friend of [whoever it was Cheney called a fucking asshole, while in front of a hot mic, during the early part of one of the campaigns], but realized that would be an INCREDIBLY FUCKING STUPID THING TO SAY, and promptly shut himself the fuck up.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
His mother was a hippie, then? I always wondered what the name was, and now I wish I didn't know. That's stupid.
