poor Ms. Louise. I feel a little like I know her from your conversations, and am sending ~ma her way. Also, you are a great neighbor, sarameg!
Also, I am hoping ita watched Criminal Minds last night-- I was thinking of her watching it myself!
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Indirectly, at least, the 2-year-old girl found dead in a box in Galveston Bay came to Texas because of an online video game. Her mother moved with the girl from Ohio to Texas after meeting a fellow player in the adventure fantasy World of Warcraft.
But experts say people should avoid the temptation to blame Warcraft for the death of 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers, better known to the country as "Baby Grace."
"We have to be cautious and not think everyone online is crazy," said Celia Pearce, a professor at Georgia Tech's Experimental Games Lab who studies the fast-growing "massively multiplayer online role-playing games" that are getting more mainstream attention — not all of it positive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What she said.
OMG. I was in meetings most of yesterday, and will probably be again today. I just want to sit in my office and not talk to people!

I'm trying to avoid any news about the Baby Grace case because it'll be a dead heat between my heart breaking from the sadness and my head exploding from the anger. Much better to go contemplate the train wreck that is Britney Spears, so I can laugh and point nearly guilt-free.

Yeah, the details of the case are definitely crazy-making. And impossible to avoid down here.

sarameg - how awful.
Welcome L.R.
And it is STILL less than 20 degrees here. I'm just not ready for this. (I did, however, wear the scarf I knitted. I still haven't blocked it due to my slackeriness but it was nice and warm and more contrasty with my black coat than I had hoped. The scarf is a dark inky blue.)

Once, long ago, I got a catalog that was sort of like Heifer International but with a twist -- you'd sponsor a wild rice plantation and then get a bag of wild rice every three months, or you'd buy a family a cow and get regular shipments of cheese, etc. You don't get all the products, obviously, but you do get a tangible present along with the sponsoring gig. Has anyone heard of something like that?
