Ack, this fire, and Sean's photos especially, are giving me bad deja vu of the time Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Irvine were on fire. Like Sean and Allyson, we could easily see the fireline from our apartment and watched it sneak closer and closer. Ack. I just want the fire OUT and everybody SAFE.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
crap! My friend Barbara lives ON Los Feliz Blvd.
She posted earlier about going to a friend's house to sleep, but I thought she was kidding...

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
Ouch. Yeah, Los Feliz Blvd is a bad place to be right now. However, they just had the fire chief on the news, and he thinks they have the fire sufficiently blocked from any homes right now (barring any wind changes), and he even went so far as to say they should be ok until morning when they can see better what's going on. Allyson has power again--dunno if she's gonna try to get online, though.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yikes! Stay safe!
A clerk in a store called me "sir" a few weeks ago. I was very confused.
I just started re-reading Gone with the Wind for the millionth time. I was discussing it with a classmate this morning, and realized I couldn't remember the details of the point I was trying to make. (The point being that Scarlett in the novel makes WAY more sense than Scarlett in the movie, and that I absolutely cannot stand Ashley in the novel, while the movie glosses over many of his worst points.)

Thanks for the update Polgara, LAT has old news.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ugh. I can't really sleep and have no idea how I'm going to get up for work in the morning...or if I can get out of my hood.

I think you have a perfectly valid reason for not going in tomorrow. Or, at the very least, not going in until the afternoon.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You should absolutely take day/morning off. I don't know how anyone could sleep in that situation.

Glad to catch up here this morning and hear that all is relatively well for the affected Buffistas! Rather too exciting a night, really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, that's scary. Stay safe, LA!!
Stupid question: yesterday I was sure I was just having allergies, but today my glands seem a little swollen. Does that mean it's actually another cold, or could that be from allergies, too?
