Now that the sun's up, the photos of the gas explosion in San Bruno are shocking. It's like the Blitz hit the block. [link]

Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, except that I finally get to meet Gail Carriger tonight.
Soulless author, yes? How cool!!
My day whizzed by. Don't envy me too much - next stop is vet.
I hope Frankie's OK, smonster.
OK, I made a spreadsheet and sent out a ground-laying email so that when I do call, it's less a cold call and more a follow up.
Soulless author, yes? How cool!!
Yes! I am ridiculously excited about it.
I hope Frankie is okay.
Half a smoked salmon bagel. That's lunch after all the Thai discussion. Such a letdown.
And I bumped into an American with a Jamaican accent, and I want to punch her in the face. That's not fair. Why does she get to have one?
Eh, if it's anything it's ringworm, so just another PITA when I'm still dealing with the hookworm stuff.
Tried to go home - saw the cleaners van outside my place, so now I'm hiding in the back of the dojo. Hit my max on people.
DH's dad wants a new car, a used Mustang convertible, but they only have $1,000 saved up and have decided their kids should buy the car for him. They already have two cars, but the junker he drives makes him feel "depressed," apparently.
Not only is it so WTF, but I would be so tempted to tell my parents that being depressed because of an object that most people would consider a luxury might be something he needs to speak with a therapist about and/or take some time for internal reflection. OR, if they said anything memorable to J when refusing to pay for his education - I would be UNABLE to not say the same thing back to them.
I had lunch with a friend from highschool. A grown-up! Alone! good times. Of course, now I need to get in another couple of hours of work, and I still did not run 2 errands that I needed to, BUT! 2 hour lunch with nice person talking!
Exciting day in women's tennis.
Also, if you need banners on the court to tell you who Venus Williams is and who is Kim Clisters, you either have a really small TV, or you're new here.
The usopen.org site won't let me stream their live footage. I find this irritating, because I certainly don't need help telling Venus Williams and Kim Clijsters apart.
