“ Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best — ” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.

Evacuation?

defeatism:

According to the government agency I work for, we get much, much better reports than every single news/weather outlet in the country.  And so far they’re predicting a direct hit on New Orleans as a major hurricane.

Due to the extreme sensitivity of my job, the government is paying for me to temporarily relocate to Alabama until the storm passes.  Which means my MacBook will probably be completely fucked.  Great.

Note: my house received 30 feet of water during Katrina.

Before you start arguing with me about how I’m wrong about these predictions, my sources come from non-public material from the DIA, NRO, NG-IA, and NOAA.  So I’m going to trust them over some phony at the Weather Channel.

Uhhhhhh, I reaaally hope the storm isn’t heading directly to New Orleans. I just got in yesterday and my whole extended family is expected to come this weekend.

This is what’s wrong with America.

This NPR article is not a critique of Obama, but a critique of the culture of racism that still exists in the United States.

I saw HAIR tonight at Shakespeare in the Park. It was kinda crazy. I can see how at the time, it probably shook things up much like RENT did in the 90’s. It wasn’t really my cup of tea, but I did enjoy all the folks that came bearing vintage hippie gear from their glory days.

Lucky! I wish I could see this. Just remember, let the sun shine.

Hey, so I just landed in New Orleans

Hey, so I just planned it in New Orleans and I am sitting around baggage claim, waiting for my grandfather to pick me up. I am happy to be here, but I spent a long time at the Atlanta airport and I am definitely ready to go to bed. listen Powered by Jott

Sea Orchestra (via uniteditstimetofly)

These United Airlines commercials that were made for the Olympics this year do what commercials are supposed to do. They make me want to fly United. The art direction is simply astonishing and they all feature “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin.
