It's raining! And cold! And there was freezing rain earlier! People are going insane thinking that it's COLD!! Like the world's ending because there's some freezing rain in Houston... When there's snow and ice, the whole city literally shuts down and there are a billion accidents on the roads because Houstonians can't drive on DRY roads, so icy ( Read more... )

First, have you heard about all the massive bird deaths in the central US this week? First there was the giant flock in Arkansas on New Year's Day. Then, the next day, giant bird die-off in northern Louisiana (both, they say, caused by the birds being startled by loud noises and thus flying into buildings and power lines - yeah, okay, whatever.).

First, we've had a TON of rain over the past week. It's AWESOME. I've been loving it. Large storms that bring heavy rain and lots of thunder and lightning. My favorite kind of weather. (Well, unless I'm driving in it, and then it's the worst kind of weather.) I'm bummed, though, because we're not going to get any today because of some high pressure ( Read more... )

I've mentioned and probably complained in the past about my postage stamp-sized room. Seriously, it's probably about 11'x11' with a corner missing, because for some reason, the builders decided that it would be better to seriously reduce the square footage in order to place the door most elegantly instead of most use. My full-size sleigh bed and ( Read more... )

One: Reading Rainbow was canceled. So upset. LeVar Burton provided me with my reading list for the week each episode when I was a kid. Or at least those books I needed to force Mom into buying because "Mom, it was on Reading Rainbow! It's a ______ Award Winner!!" That always worked. I read so many books because of him. I remember the different ( Read more... )

So, I think I mentioned a while ago that Mom was using Twitter, and that this fact kinda weirded me out. I think it was a couple of things: 1) I've always been the one interested in social networking (before there was an actual term for it and you could only use a few programs like AOL to do it), and 2) that meant that she could read what I was ( Read more... )

I searched for my first boyfriend in Google. Basically just trying to find a picture of him to see if he's gotten better or worse over time. From the one picture I've found, he's turned into quite a douchebag. In 8th grade, he looked innocent - nothing but baby blue eyes (limpid pools) and amazing lips (trumpet player). Now he looks like an asshole ( Read more... )

This is where I would normally regale you with complaints about my life. I could do this, but I've decided not to for the moment. I'll probably resume my bitching in a later post, but you've probably read some of it in the daily Twitter posts. In short: I've been really really depressed (so much so my overeating has become non-eating, which, for me ( Read more... )

Strange day started out strange. It must have been something I ate because I had the most weirdest dream ever in the history of dreams. It was an amalgam of all the stuff I had seen and done over the last couple of days, so a lot of weird people were in it - Judi Dench, Robin Williams, George Carlin, and other random people. A couple of my cats ( Read more... )

Check out my Twitter entries for today (TBC=to be continued):
-after sleeping most of the day again, I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen. I had weird vision after I put on my glasses. Thought TBC
-I was seeing funny as a side effect of my new psych med. Ended up slipping AGAIN and sliding down the stairs AGAIN. Ouch x100. Turns out TBC
-I ( Read more... )
