I'm watching Silent Witness

I was being all nice as a daughter and made dinner and chattered with the maternal.

I should really just go to sleep now though even if it is the bestest teevee ever. 4:30 is going to be painfully early.

No way I can make it through a two-hour show. Especially as I would then want to watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Reporrrrrr after.

you could have star 69'ed him. Which sounds rather suggestive when applied to an actual movie star.

Oh hell... That is tragic.

I must have skimmed too much. Which 737/vehicle?

The 737 slid off the runway at Midway Field in Chicago and went into an intersection, hitting two vehicles.

Is this ep good?

Only got half an hour in, and haven't seen any of the others. It looked fine for the genre.

From the Trib:

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 attempting to land at Midway Airport in heavy snow Thursday evening slid off a runway, broke through a barrier fence and stopped in the middle of the street at 55th Street and Central Avenue.

At least two vehicles were damaged, and one was pinned under part of the plane, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.

Five people were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in an unknown condition, said Deborah Song, a spokeswoman.

The plane, Southwest Flight 1248 from Baltimore, was landing about 7 p.m, according to fire and police reports. There were 98 passengers aboard and a crew of five, said Wendy Abrams, a spokeswoman with the Chicago Department of Aviation, which controls the airport.

Matt, if he had called on his phone, the star 69 would have already been used, I am sad to admit.

I could watch the news to find out about the plane crash, but I don't want to get all upset before bed.

My parents' watched news every night they were here over Thanksgiving and it made me so tense.

Hey, I gots me some sleeping babies! That's a good thing.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. In the end, it wasn't such a big deal except that it wasted the whole morning.

My parents' watched news every night they were here over Thanksgiving and it made me so tense.

Last time my mother was here I left the room whenever she turned on the news. She thought I was kidding about being avoidant. I shoved my dad away from the remote when he was here.

Holy crap.

Burrell, the best kind of crisis is the one that turns out not to be such a big deal.
