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.)
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Because books.
I don't have a lot of silly hats, but I am wearing my brown baseball cap with the pink heart on it right now.
I'm letting S. (and you guys) feed me bits of the news about Japan right now. I just can't watch those images right now.

I don't care how unhealthy McDonald's oatmeal is. It's hella tasty.
Did you read the nutrition information? I don't understand where all the claims (not just from you) of it being "unhealthy" are coming from. Pricey, yes. But it seems pretty damned healthy. I don't mean compared to an Egg McMuffin; I mean in general.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am finishing the last of the steel cut oats I made last weekend. Fuck, I love these.
Every national disaster feels like it's piling on the last few. So even if I avoid Japan news, I see the news I didn't avoid earlier. So my brain fills in Haiti or Pakistan instead. It's really not helpful.
Thank god that Japan had so much earthquake-handling infrastructure in place, but fuck. Fuck.

I know - it makes the amount of destruction so much more mind-boggling. I mean, 9500 people missing from one town. 9500!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I know I am being pre-mature, but I know at least for me, some of the anxiety the news is causing is in anticipation of what September is going to be like this year. 10 years means a million specials and re-running of news. I have already been hit by ads for that damn PBS special, caught me completely offguard with news footage that sent me in a tailspin of anxiety.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
