Katma for the job. (Because any employer will be lucky to hire Kat.)
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Job~ma, Kat.
but I don't wear makeup, maybe that mitigates.
Well that tends to be either green *or* purple. Or nudes. But I don't go overly Joker on the face. I hope.
Conrad's such an interesting writer with that mix of the ethical/politcal and foresight on the 20th century, but all wrapped up in an adventure.
And wacky with the POVs. I was honestly thinking about picking it back up earlier today.

Good morning! Looks like Tuscaloosa had it worst. Oh my god, as this person keeps saying (the time to get out of the car and go somewhere safe was about 1 minute in, eh?) [link]

Man, that so's crazy. CNN says more than 150 people have been killed.

I'm glad you and your family are ok, flea. I think the death toll in AL will keep rising for a while as people get into the more rural areas around there. Apparently half of the town of Phil Campbell, AL has been completely razed. The photos from where the tornado was in the early part of that video show that the Forest Lake neighborhood, which was behind those stores, has nothing left standing, not even the trees.

Yeah, I saw someone asking "why so many deaths, were people (like the videographers) just ignoring alerts?" but when your NEIGHBORHOOD IS GONE there's not much you could have done to protect yourself. A lot of people in the south don't have basements; if you live in a trailer you're basically fucked.

Whoa. That's terrifying. I cannot believe so many deaths!
I think, with HoD, it's just the density of the language along with the meandering narrative that has slowed my students, and myself, down. It's like reading one long prose poem.

that's right. And when tornado warnings come, sometimes there isn't enough time to go any kind of distance.
