Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus.

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

So do I, Tep.

My heart is breaking. My family is safe, but so many others are not.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Awful.

Maria, glad your family is safe.

Ugh. It's awful.

In better news, revise my weekend plans to include setting up and staring at my hotass new TV. Is it weird that I'm going to save that until tomorrow afternoon? I can't get over how cheap and light it is.

I've been cleaning out a corner of my office, found a box of genealogy stuff I got from my mother, including pictures of me when very small. "Oh, I have to go show him, he loves seeing old pictures of me."

I think I'm done cleaning for the night.

Death toll in Paris is up to 158. Fuck.

One hundred killed in the concert hall, Bataclan.

Jesus. I came up to the Y lobby to see people clustered around the tv. Saw a stadium field, thought "oh, just a game and left." Got home and had left the radio on and PRI's The World was on live and suddenly the context of the lobby completely changed.

Glad your family is all accounted for, Maria.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope your family stays safe, Maria.

Such horrible news. I haven't told my kids yet, but I probably should.

I am going to a party tonight for a good friend who moved across the country, but she's back in town for the weekend. Kids are having a friend over for a sleepover. It's times like this I feel enormously grateful for living in such a safe feeling bubble.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
