Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Hmm. The University of the West Indies is soliciting material donations--"non-perishable food items, first-aid supplies, linen, toiletries etc." At least they have a plan. They're also soliciting people--"experts in several fields - engineering, public health, social work and psychology - are being assembled for deployment." So they can handle their stuff.

Last news report I saw was about gang violence. With no rescue infrastructure in place survivors were turning to looting for sustenance. Lots of waving machetes. Grim.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say, I clicked and was nauseated by it earlier, but didn't post to that effect.

I was considering making banana bread, but I waited too long and the bananas are bad (should have put them in the freezer). Oh well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nobody posted my news about Deuce before me, did they? Did anyone but three of us care?

No, and no.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't think you can even call it looting at this point.

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

It is very grim.

At this point, I don't dare look. I heard the sound bite yesterday and bolted. I haven't made a periodic trek to bbc.co.uk yet today.

Yeah, that visit to a news site was a mistake. Let me sit here and pretend to work for a few minutes while I compose myself.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh no, they're black people. It's looting. And, you know, deal with the devil and all that. Not to mention that Obama is happy because it makes him look good. Oh! And if you send formula you're only making it worse because mothers need to nurse to relieve stress...

t Cannot fucking BELIEVE people are forwarding their own agendas with this. Alas, this tag never closes.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Birthday felicitations, msbelle!

Matt, I'm sorry. That's just a horrible feeling. Not to mention the damage to your car.

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

Huh. This cafe I'm at serves breakfast until 2 PM.

So today I get Second Breakfast!
