Maybe YOU should have silly hat day.

I look silly in pretty much every hat, so my hat doesn't have to be silly at all.

My silly hats are really helpful while doing yardwork and it is pretty windy outside. But we shall see.

I don't have any silly hats, only cool ones that cool people have made and/or given me.

also? JENGOD!!! FUN!!

I am in favor of silly hat day. Or at least, I am in favor of getting up and getting a shower. I am giving myself ten more minutes of wallowing, and then I am getting on with it. You guys can let me know if there are major developments, because otherwise it`s just watching the death toll rise and obsessively checking inaccurate reports and that`s not getting me anywhere. Later on I`ll get in contact with my Tokyo missions contacts to see if that`s an effective way to give specific support; otherwise I`ll give through Red Cross. I`ve already blown a hundred bucks in overage charges, and that doesn`t help anyone, so I`ll buy regular paid time and try to set aside some charity. Then I have lots of busywork things that need done, so I`ll try to channel nervous energy into productive energy, but I`m giving myself permission to fail on that if necessary. But first, four more minutes of wallowing, then shower.

I have a love/hate relationship with sun hats. On the one hand, they keep protect me from sunburn and sunstroke. On the other hand, my head seems to get hot before the rest of me, and hats help retain heat, so I am a red-faced, sweaty mess even faster wearing a hat.

The magnetic poles swap position every few million years.

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I meant.

I am all for silly hat day, but I think we need pictures for maximum cheering effect.

Just reading via twitter about 9500 people missing in one town in Japan.

My mind keeps boggling at the sheer magnitude of that quake and tsunami.

(Liese, I hope you watch Fringe because it rocked.)

I still don't believe in hats of any kind (and first I typed "hates," which is also true), for me. Everyone else can feel free.
