Wow, I just read some huge series of posts on JournalFen about a long-running sockpuppet campaign in HP fandom.
Makes the kerfuffles I've been involved in sound like pretty small potatoes. Yikes.
People are crazy.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Goddamn. I'm watching a pilot land a jet at O'Hare without any nosegear. Un-fucking-believable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Say what, brenda??
That's an awesome story, Herah. Your daughter is six? That seems awfully old....
Why in god's name do I love what I love? Couldn't I love fingerpainting instead?
Have you really given fingerpainting a chance?

Ah, but we knew that.
It seems I am now able to sleep a normal amount -- my early bedtime resulted in an early wake-up, after 8 hours of sleeping, which is good. Last week, I swear I needed 9 hours every night. Jacktarded.

Kudos to that pilot, for sure. Plane is down, and they haven't started unloading people yet, but it looks like he got it down safely. Red-eye from LA.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are you watching it live, or on TV?

It was really amazing to see - the pilot landed the plane on the rear wheels only, and kept the nose up for looong time while the plane moved along the runway until it finally touched down and came to a halt. Little bit of smoke and sparks, but no, you know, crashing or anything.

On tv. I am not at the airport. They knew the plane was coming in though so they had the cameras on it when it touched down.

Sounds like I missed an exciting (and happy-ending) airplane story last night. Right now I'm trying to convince myself to get dressed and off to work. I might as well bring spare underwear and a fresh shirt for when I get to work, because it's going to be hot enough that I'll be disgustingly sweaty by the time I get there.

This just happened fifteen minutes ago. I am also resisting the need to get up and get ready for work.

Eeek! Okay, I should pay more attention to those time stamps!
