gawker, huffpost and buzzfeed are all down.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Huffpo's coming up for me. Gawker and Jezebel, not so much.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm streaming the Weather Channel to keep up on the storm. When they go away for commercials I just get music and a weather map. They have some weird musical choices from elevator to obscure hard rock.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I realize this is petty of me since I have power and internet and no storm bearing down on me but I'm really cranky that I can't watch TV because my digital converter doesn't want to work. hrmph

I think we can all agree that that time was prior to the making of Battlefield Earth.
Since Billytea is presumably sleeping right now, I feel compelled to step up and point out that there are 16 species of penguin.
Seventeen. (Emperor, king, gentoo, adelie, African, Magellanic, Humboldt's, Galapagos, rockhopper, macaroni, royal, snares, chinstrap, little, yellow-eyed, fiordland, erect-crested.)

Because books.
On Twitter the io9 feed said their server was down, so maybe it's all the Gawker sites?

Ok, 16, 17, the important thing is she tried to step up in Billytea's absence.
Holy crap, I just saw video of the explosion shown in the photo. Damn. This is seriously scary looking!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Shit, guys, a tree just fell on my stepson's folks' house in Allentown, PA and they've got a live power-line situation too.
DO NOT WANT.
