I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So, I was watching Torchwood with some friends at my upstairs neighbor's place, and there was this crash that was so loud it knocked her door open. We all went outside to see that part of a tree had fallen down, bouncing off the building's gutter to land on my car.

No one was hurt, and I have insurance, so I'm going to chalk this up to one of those life experience things.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So, I was watching iTorchwood with some friends

Is that Torchwood where Captain Jack is played by Miranda Cosgrove?

You know, Calli, I think you could have lived a full and complete life without ever having the "a tree smashed my car" experience. I hope the process of getting it fixed isn't too painful.

Thanks, Ginger. The insurance rep on the phone seemed helpful and gave me info on three local body shops that he said would just bill the insurance company directly. If that actually happens it would be nice. I've never had to make a claim with this company, so I'm not sure what to expect. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

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

Wow, Calli, I'm really glad nobody got hurt! And all good luck in getting back behind the wheel quickly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes Calli, so glad no one was hurt!

Seriously, New Orleans is textbook case of urban institutionalized racism, as is Detroit.

Not off topic at all. That was my initial reaction when I saw the photos of all the empty lots in LA. Ay! That thing about the houses in the Ninth Ward makes me so angry.

The status is NOT quo.

Calli! Eeep! So glad you’re okay!
