Hurricane warnings have been posted for parts of the west coast of Florida; Tropical Storm Alberto has maximum sustained winds of 70mph.Okay, first of all, WHOA, because when I fell asleep last night at 5:00, this fucker still had winds around 45mph, and it looked pretty poorly organized. This just goes to show you how little we really know about ( Read more... )

Because right now, they are doing some sort of horrendous drilling that has driven me out of my office and into Mom's. She's getting her cast taken off today from her surgery, and she is excited. ;) Still, I complain, because ( Read more... )

All of you who tried to convince me to get a good night's sleep last night have been DENIED. I stayed up all night watching CNN, and I do not care. I DO NOT CARE! I am here at work now, making a whoooooole bunch of coffee, and I feel pretty good still. Besides, it was TOTALLY worth it to see the John Zarella/Anderson Cooper "Safety Snuggle" when ( Read more... )

Okay, so I totally took the Happy Hyper Pill and am so glad that I did, just to look up at CNN and see two stoner-looking guys in Gary Tuchman's location in Key West, doing something akin to the MC Hammer dance in hurricane-force winds.

LIFE. IS. GOOD.

*eats miggy's energy and MORE CAKE*

A quick poll:

Poll Decide my future!

Because yes, I WANT to see Wilma come in. Anderson's out there, and Chad Myers is the meteorologist (I fucking LOVE him ever since he verbally bitchslapped an idiot anchorwoman ON THE AIR during Katrina), and OMG BIG STORM. But on the other hand, sleep. Wow. Sleep.I suck. But this icon ROCKS. Plus, I have cake from my auntie's ( Read more... )

You know, there's nothing quite like waking up to find that the Category 2 hurricane you were looking at last night is now a Category 5 monster with a record-breaking barometric pressure of 882mb ( Read more... )
