After Juliana's play (which was even better as a full production), we were chatting outside with the other cast members, and the writer joked that he was going to go home and drink tequila shots off a stripper.

"Hookers and blow!" said Juliana, as if it were the most natural thing in the world...until she realized that not everyone she knew was a Buffista.

I got it, though. She was glad for that.

until she realized that not everyone she knew was a Buffista.

I can't tell you how many times at work I've said "The lurkers support me in e-mail!" as part of a serious conversation, only to be met with blank stares. Then I remember.

"Hookers and blow!" said Juliana, as if it were the most natural thing in the world...until she realized that not everyone she knew was a Buffista.

Hahaha! I was trying to explain to someone the other day, and it just didn't work. Though this sounds like it ought to be part of a story, or a poem-- "'Hookers and blow!' said Juliana, as if it were the most natural thing in the world"

Perhaps it will replace the traditional Buffista greeting. No more "You changed your hair!" all "Hookers and blow!"

I know this is a crazy question but do any news channels actually show .. news? Like, if news broke, could I find it on tv?

eta: CNN breaks into Anderson Cooper repeats. And then congratulates itself for showing news.

That was a huge earthquake.

Al Jazeera, which is on the interbunny, but not available on most cable. Only good for national and international, no use for state or local.

8.9 earthquake apparently gets some attention.

eta: I am seeing everything from 8.9 on CNN to 7.1 (and I am not sure that wasn't an earlier quake, or a newer one) on USGS have different numbers depending on their information.

Tsunamis are really terrifying to watch. Awful to watch too.

Oh, no, that is a big earthquake.

It's huge. And the accompanying quakes are really big too.

Gosh, that's scary. Japan is no stranger to earthquakes, but those are really really big.
