I keep thinking of things, as I follow the BBC's live news updates, which I've had open pretty much since Friday morning, but - they all feel too callous and self-centered, right now. Maybe later, when things look brighter, but not right now.

To the people I know in Japan, and the people you know, and the people they know - my thoughts are with you. If I could package up hugs, I would send a big box of them to Honshu right now. But I can't, so I'm donating instead, as well as offering my own little bit on the help_japan auction (it is for knitted things. I promise they will be lovely).
