Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"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.
It's the tsunamis that are terrifying me. And they're just beginning.
I think I am kinda sick. There is a massive tsunami hitting RIGHT NOW and the lady on CNN is interviewing someone and ... not mentioning it.
I mean, I am not certain but I think Japan is one of the best prepared countries for earthquakes both in terms of citizens preparedness and building codes. But there is going to be such destruction and, I fear, loss of life and ecology.
