Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, my mother just pointed out that we went by MIT at about 10:30 last night. So that explains the emergency vehicles we kept pulling over for.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Please, please, stay safe, people.

USA Today is reporting that the at-large suspect is 19, graduated from a Cambridge high school in 2011, and the younger brother of the suspect who died. Nineteen. A high school wrestler. Just a stupid, childish, stupid kid, who murdered another kid and two other people and blew limbs off another hundred or so. Fucking hell.

Yikes, Jesse!

Ok, so whenever I've tuned in (between shower and hairdryer) Dina Temple-Raston(?) IS REALLY freaking shoving the al-quaeda thing. It is rather unseemly and speculative and UHG.

It's the only public high school in Cambridge.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Weird image of the morning: MBTA busses with STATE POLICE and BOSTON POLICE signs actually moving busloads of cops around.

How many cops are here? ALL OF THEM.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

TCG's work has been canceled today because of all this, but he's not answering his cell phone so I can tell him that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow. I'm glad I mostly get my news from y'all, and doubly glad y'all are posting and safe!
