Via dglenn, Right-Wing Myths About Katrina, Debunked. (Yes, it's not behind a cut-tag. Y'all have to click to get the contents of it, anyway)

Via ladytabitha, a slideshow of one person's view of Katrina. Stunning, not particularly unpleasant (I note, however, that I've never been to New Orleans, so I don't have any 'this looks so different!' perspective). (not lj-cut because it's not particularly unpleasant)

My kitty is utterly thrilled by the fact that I worked from home Friday, and had a long weekend, most of which I spent at home.

I am pleased that there was a ladytabitha and a starandrea here on Saturday and Sunday, but vaguely baffled by the fact that I really do appear to be in a mindset of not remembering that people who I don't cuddle with regularly may appreciate it.

Vaguely out of sorts, probably because there are no people here. But, jasra moves in Sunday. This is good. That way there will be someone other than me around when I'm home!

I should also have food. I really don't do a very good job of eating when home alone!

starandrea is curious, and asks interesting questions. I suspect she'd had problems asking questions of people she doesn't know or read, however. (I would, were I her!) Answering that question was _hard_, as that's the kind of thing I tend to actively try to not think about. Probably also part of why I'm out of sorts, actually.

ladytabitha links to a post on dealing with stress, mostly Katrina-related. (Yes, this is part of why I cut tag any Katrina links - let's not overstim my readers, 'k?)

I miss australian_joe.

I see brynndragon Weds night, which is good.

I am entertained to note that ladytabitha has taught me to knit (at my request), but because of fairly immediate preferences on my part, the way that she doesn't herself knit (continental). I am also entertained to note that knitting is very good at handling my out of sortsness and restlessness.

Via bridgetester, If you could make anything you wanted, what would it be? This concept makes me _happy_. But I think it would not be something I could easily use, being severely spatially impared. But oooooh, what a tasty idea!

By ladytabitha: I agree! Also, I say 'yay!'. :)

I am also reminded of the fact that anyone who honestly thinks that the inability to articulate a point means that the point doesn't matter is _NOT_ someone I can healthily spend time around. Seriously. If something is a problem enough to speak up about it, that _SHOULD FUCKING BE ENOUGH_. Being able to explain something is good, and high on my list of things I try to do, but inability does not mean that a problem can be ignored. (I don't know people who do that anymore, fortunately. Mostly because, as I said above, they are not people I can healthily spend time around!)
