You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Haiti's Prime Minister: Hundreds Of Thousands Dead

The prime minister of Haiti, Jean-Max Bellerive, told CNN today that hundreds of thousands of people have died following the catastrophic earthquake that struck near the capitol of Port-au-Prince yesterday.

Jeez.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Holy shit.

Ann, that's a ferret.

There are only nine million people in the entire country. Which makes the percentage -- just staggering.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, god.

Coding and Sleeping

Forbidden Planet had jumpsuits before Trek did....

Great movie.

Edit: Awkward cross posting there.

The Haitian president, René Préval, told The Miami Herald that the toll was “unimaginable” and estimated that thousands had died.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus. Apparently my cousin's fiance is OK, but I have no idea about the rest of his family.

call them what you will

Speed-suit!

Given that any attempt to predict future fashion will be ludicrous, I think jumpsuits are at least fairly simple for illustrators and costume designers.

Yeah, the Star Trek costume department used to hate it when they had to design civilian clothes.

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

The situation in Haiti is really going to be horrific. I hope that some folks with deep pockets step forward to take on some serious community building from the ground up, do a neighborhood thoroughly and stick with it for years. That country needs so much more than new structures slapped up.
