"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Woot!!! Aimee, that's great news! I think you should call in your "resignation" and tell your douchenozzle ex-boss that if he runs into trouble with keeping up on your work he's just going to have to fucking lump it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hah! I just spent $10 on...something.

That's really tempting, just for the sheer entertainment value.

The numbers this morning are horrifying. 15,000 dead, another 40-50 thousand missing. Between natural disasters and man made disasters the news is very upsetting stuff. Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.

Do you guys think that donating $$ to Red Cross International is the best way to get aid to Burma and China? I want to help, but I want to make sure my money is used in the most efficacious way to get aid where it's needed.

Oh -- or maybe Doctors Without Borders?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Tep, I'm not sure anyone's being allowed into Burma right now, but the Red Cross is accepting donations for China earthquake relief:

ION, I don't like my new transitions lenses. The woman at Lenscrafters told me they would get "pretty dark" and they do not. So I need to stop by there at lunch and see how much it will cost me to swap them for the expensive special-order kind. (And also whether that will involve giving them my glasses for 2 weeks, which, um, won't work. Because then I won't be able to see.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

1) re: Obama shirt - I hope the Curious George people see that and go to sue the makers.

2) Jesse - that would confuse me to no end.

3) LOLCats save the morning

4) I am not much for saying things like this, but the world is all out of balance. It's freaking me out. Still glad I stopped watching news.

It looks like the Red Cross/Crescent *was* able to get aid to Burma, though that certainly may have changed in the past 3 days: [link]

I think I'll send $$ to Red Cross/Crescent without designating a recipient country.

I just don't know what else to do.
