You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I've been watching the models change over the course of the day and....yeah, Dana. The hurricanes need to go bother some uninhabited atoll or something.

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

See, now I had a very different reaction. I was thinking, she's a pretty woman, she's carrying it well, she's wearing a fricking ball gown--why does she look like such a dork?

Most of the time I think JG is pretty, but other times I think she looks like a duck.

eta:

Oy, Dana. Here's to hoping it's being over-paranoid, just for safety's sake.

What ita said.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, Dana. That's just too much and no more bad is allowed to happen. If it comes to it, pull a Superman.

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

Yeah -- I think she's a dork that cleans up real well.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I always thought that her tendency to walk as if always contemplating a skyscraper was a result of all those years of dance -- like the woman I knew in college who would gesture with ballet hands, and wait for the bus in second position. I mean, some people are just that kind of pretentious-crazy, right?

Still and all, I do like Jennifer Garner with more meat on her bones, because they are exceptionally long, pointy bones. The rondure of her face appeals to me. (In general, I like anybody in Hollywood to put on a few extra pounds about the face, or else I have never seen any Hollywoodian who looked bad pregnant/recently pregnant.)

Silence means security silence means approval

BREAKING NEWS New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin suspends return of evacuees to the city, citing the threat from strengthening Tropical Storm Rita.

This is not allowed to happen. I will pull a Superman and rotate the fucking planet backwards if I have to.

It's an overreaction, honestly. Here's the current five-day: [link]

In order for it to hit NOLA, it would have to start swinging north in the next 24 hours, and with the highs and lows set up the way they are, that doesn't look all that likely.

The track yesterday was to go ashore at Corpus. This morning, Galveston. Looks like Victoria now.

and wait for the bus in second position.

In second? I always thought second position was the dorkiest.

I can't think of any other ballet dancers with a sway that severe, both in motion or repose.

I've never thought of her as pointy -- she's got long but blunt features to me.

Heidi Klum pregnant. I swear I saw a picture of her at the Emmys that was ... well, not with much roundure, considering she's a few days post partum.

Our wings are not tired.

Nagin has to err on the side of caution because he's already under a great deal of heat for letting anybody back in the city. He's in a tough spot with wanting to let people get on with the fixin' and having to fight the system.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

A few DAYS post partum and she went to the Emmys?!? Dayum. I still had a baby glued to my boob when I was a few days post partum.
