shadowkat1. Oh dear god...Haiti!!! I will have to ask my co-worker tomorrow if her family is okay. Haiti just suffered a 7.0 earthquake and is devastated. The whole Carribbean is waiting for Tidal Wave Warning - Tsuanmi. They are hunkering down and terrified.
2. Avatar fans have managed to make the rest of us seem sane...apparently fans of Avatar have fallen into a deep depression and hopeless despair because their world doesn't resemble the pretty fake CGI world of Pandora. Psychologists are trying to help them. And they are seeking support on fan boards. (People, methinks, it is time you took an extended vacation to Denahli National Park, Alaska, Glacier National Park, the Grand Canyon, Tzmania, New Zealand, The Falls in Brazil, Costa Rican Jungles, or Bali. Go somewhere pretty. And leave the frigging laptop, iphone, ipod, DVD player, etc at home.)
3. Went to the gym today, yay me.
4. With any luck - I will make it to bed before 11:30, but doesn't look like it. Getting up at 6 each morning...this means I average 6 - 7 hours of sleep.
5. Apologies to yuko onna and flist - I don't hate all of Iron Dragon's Daughter, just specific bits that pushed my feminist buttons...it is actually a great book, I know because it's one of the few I read this year that seems to be inscribed on my brain. While I can't for the life of me remember many of the others.
6. Aunt Kay made me laught today when she told me in an email that she'd thrown New Moon the book by Stephanie Meyer, across her apartment in a fit of disqust. Her sister and co-workers had rec'd it. Good to know I'm not the only one who has done that with books. Let's face it I love and hate the things HARD.
