I would be there right now.

Jessica, may your in-laws be safe. And whoa.

I'm up. Again! Maybe for good this time?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jessica, I hope for everyone's sake that they are ok and get home safely.

I just read the headline. Gah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh.

That's unspeakable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just saw that -- how terrible.

Belated birthday happies for Theo and Jesse. Finally catching up after the Xmas weekend.

Terrible news about Bhutto. And hope all is well with Jessica's relatives.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Just heard from him - they're fine, but basically not leaving the house for the foreseeable future.

Yikes, Jess.

Why won't my parents let me know what's up with my cell phone?!? I feel totally cut off from the outside world. Not that I even make that many phone calls, but still -- it's the principle of the thing.

Sounds like a wise course of action. Thank goodness they're all right, Jessica.

Thanks guys - I'm relieved too.

ION, this is harder than it looks. Place all 50 states on a blank map of the US. The big square ones in the middle are tricky when you don't have anything to line them up against! (And when you've spent your whole life on the East Coast...)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My God, the news about Bhutto is depressing. Apparently she was shot, then the assassin blew himself up.

ION, doing a google image search for "fail" is fun: [link]
