Bring snacks with caramel in them to work as a form of quiet protest.
Caramel apples! Hot chocolate with whipped cream!
That's very funny.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Caramel popcorn. It might be easier to shave the moustaches than to clean them.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Watching the Sandy Relief concert on NBC, and I'm having flashbacks to sitting on my couch in DC watching the 9/11 telethon. My heart is breaking all over again. The devastation is mind-boggling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can't pay too close attention to the whole thing, because it all feels exactly like Katrina to me. The pictures, the reactions, the interviews, all of it.

It's a mashup of Katria and 9/11 for me. Combine that with the fragile state I'm in this year--I've had enough fucking loss thank you very much--and I'm tearing up and really feeling Rob's absence.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I keep tuning in and out myself.
Sometimes I can't stop looking at pictures. Sometimes I need to run out of the room.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I bet, MFNlaw. Give yourself some time and space to deal, or not to deal, as you need.
On the flights thing, brenda, so true. I was looking up today a one-way flight from Nashville to Indianapolis and a round trip from Albuquerque to Washington DC. Guess which was cheaper? Go on, guess.

I am not watching the concert, we left the house. Buffalo wild wings with mac.

My god, what a group on stage right now: Billy Joel, Steven Tyler, Bruce Springsteen, and Jimmy Fallon. Surreal.
edit: And Will Ferrell on triangle. Weird.

Because books.
Sometimes I can't stop looking at pictures.
I've looked at so many the past two days, I turned on the concert just now and I couldn't do it. It reminds me most of 9/11, but it's all the homes that are gone that's so like Katrina. I never imagined it would hit this hard.
