Mountains out of molehills, temptests in teapots, and other phrases that boil down to "wow, glad I didn't go out and buy water, batteries and beans." The DOOOM OF OUR TIME gave us a some wind and a little rain. OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THERE WAS WIND IN CENTRAL TEXAS. So at least on this side of the HURRICANE WARNING OMG, there were a lot of people ( Read more... )

Pros: The traffic was not as terrible as I expected it to be. The court room in the county I was in was nice and clean and not at all dirty and gross and scary. There was a metal detector, so at least the majority of weapons hopefully I got back to the office by a little after 11, instead of after lunch, which is what I was afraid would happen. Um ( Read more... )

You know it's been a long couple of days when at 5:30 you're being told "Just go to bed!", and the idea sounds seriously appealing ( Read more... )

Feeling a lot better today; the pressure front that was kicking my brain when it was metaphorically down yesterday seems to have moved on...although latest estimates seem to put Ike landing on top of us on Wednesday, so I look forward to another skull-crushing adventure then. ::sigh:: Maybe if I can at least shake the cold by then I won't have this ( Read more... )

So, hey, here we are. Not really sure how I got here, but it's better to be almost halfway through than just at the beginning. I'm....really tired and kind of feel either like last week never ended or this week hasn't started yet...or something? Wow, I'm so tired I can't even put a sentence together. And there were stories from this weekend but now ( Read more... )

The unmitigated disaster that was Tuesday is continuing to spiral out of control, so now the crisis is so bad it's almost a parody of itself. It's like someone brought in disaster movie writers, so that things just keep getting worse. I think feel like there should be a narrator or a Greek chorus wandering by periodically going "But what, there's ( Read more... )

The Drunken Sluts had another wild party last night, although thankfully not at the level of the last one; I didn't have to call the cops to get some sleep. Johnny woke me up at 1:30 to go outside, and when I opened the door I was almost blasated off my feet by the noise coming from the Sluts' apartment. It was loud enough that I could hear every ( Read more... )

I am so fried, and I'm not even sure why. I haven't slept well for the last two nights; I was absolutely exhausted around 10 last night so I went to bed early...and somehow in the time it took me to get ready for bed, I was wide awake. Added to all of this (correlation or causation?), I have become a coffee addict, and I can't function without my ( Read more... )

It was actually fall today when I took Johnny out for his morning walk. I hadn't gone very far when I started wishing that I'd worn a regular coat instead of a light jacket, and I hadn't gone much further than that before I was wanting the glover stardustshine made for me that I haven't been able to wear yet, because it hasn't been cold enough. This morning, it ( Read more... )
