It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I stopped by Backstreets, the Springsteen fansite, and saw this: [link]

Which is pretty awesome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In good Sandy news, I just heard that the power in most of lower Manhattan came back on around 5:30! Dare I hope we might have subways from Brooklyn on Monday??

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A lot of New Jersey is going on even/odd days gas rationing.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I have a quilt and some old winter coats I could donate, Hil. (If I'm anywhere near your parents, that is).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, now they're manipulating me with a photo montage set to "Fix You." That song is like kryptonite for me.

Isn't it for everyone? I can't even describe the part that always makes me cry without tearing up.

I don't think you are. You're in central Jersey, right? They're up near NYC. Thanks, though.

Yikes. I haven't seen any open gas stations in Brooklyn for two days now, but I also don't need to drive. (When I filled up my car on Sunday, I thought I was being paranoid, but now I'm so relieved I thought of it.)

It's a perfectly normal chilly breezy November night right now, and I still can't help flinching every time it gusts.

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

The whole fucking song? And I'm not even a fan of Coldplay.

Jessica, I thought the same thing when I topped off the tank on Sunday night, but after seeing what's going on in the Tri-State area, I will never NOT do it before a major storm.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ever seen the movie Young at Heart?
