Startup airline Virgin America's plunge into the low-cost air travel market this week prompted fare cuts by two major rivals on Friday, holding out the prospect of a price war on several popular routes -- at least until the new carrier's low introductory offerings expire in November.

Virgin America, based in Burlingame, began selling tickets Thursday for travel beginning Aug. 8 through early next year. The carrier is offering very low initial fares, customary when an airline is promoting something special -- which, in Virgin America's case, is its birth.

Virgin America offers a $139 coach class fare for a one-way trip from its home airport, San Francisco International Airport, to John F. Kennedy International Airport. That was matched on Friday by JetBlue, which calls JFK home, and has pioneered amenities that Virgin America will be offering, such as leather seats and TV seatback screens. JetBlue's lowest published fare on that route had been $179.

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

I'm awake!

Not that anyone other than JZ and Juliana probably care, but I am.

Our wings are not tired.

I care! Good morning, Lee. Coffee?

I care, Lee.

I am awake and en-latted (er, and en-donutted), and about to continue reading HP7. I only made it to page 52 before I conked out last night. Good thing I'm not still in school with the need to pull all-nighters anymore, because it ain't gonna happen, apparently.

Beautiful weather today, too. Maybe I'll drag a chair out and be like Theo!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

mmm.... donuts....

Coffee?

I have that. No donuts though.

Sorry, no donuts here. I do have very tasty oatmeal with dried cranberries.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had coffee. And eggs. And bacon. It was teh yum! I am still waiting for my HP7, however.

I've had one cup of coffee and am ready to go for number two. I actually cooked breakfast this morning (as opposed to cereal or yogurt) and made orange-scented french toast with strawberries, one of my favorites.

Otherwise, I am doing nothing, except talking to my friends in the glowy box and thinking about making a chocolate cake. I've got the flour and the sugar in the bowl (put it there yesterday, but had no baking soda which prompted a grocery shopping spree), so I really should finish it up.

Oh well. I guess it's an English muffin for the road then.

Oddly enough, just being awake doesn't seem to mean being ready on time.
