oh yeah, I'm ok. I was better before I saw the news!
I hate tornadoes anyway, and this was just too much.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope everyone's caught up on TV finales, because there is some severe storm action in the season wrapups that's going to trigger like a mofo.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
xkcd totally lurks here. You know this to be true deep in your internetty hearts. Come out and play!
I think I may have to post this chart in my office: [link] because as an ex coder who now does fairly mundane office work it is always, always supremely tempting to automate whatever trivial task I'm currently obsessing over. And then the next six hours are gone while I tweak the code to make it just a little bit more efficient.

I'm sorry, le nubian. I meant to ask if you were in Oklahoma. I just got lazy with my typing. I'm glad you're okay. I can't believe what I'm seeing on the news.

I just emailed a distant friend out there.

This is the new skirt I'm currently wearing. I am also wearing these earrings, and I swear my belt (obi-style, black with pink flowers) was bought on Etsy too.
Shoes are from eBay.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hm. Is this another evening I spend seeking out regional weather coverage? I have a friend in Norman, OK and family in SW MO and NW AR.
Oh, and today is the anniversary of the F5 that destroyed my high school in '57. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Weather is scary, you guys.
