Because today hasn't sucked enough...
On the slightly less disasterous - but still fucking annoying in the face of everything else that's happened today - front...
• My parents are in the path of a hurricane. They're boarding up, but aren't worried about evacuating yet. If they do, this will make the THIRD major trip they've had to make in less than a month. (Drove from Florida to Chicago to go to a wedding and visit people. Drove back to Nashville with intent to make it back to Florida. Then my uncle died so they turned around and drove BACK to Illinois and then drove back to Florida after the funeral. If they have to go back to TN right now, there's gonna be hell to pay.)
• The new brand of chocolate chips I used to make my peanut-butter-chocolate-pretzels won't set up. They're like taffy. I'm trying the freezer now, but am not 100% hopeful.
• Duran Duran almost *never* performs when they're a man down. Last year about 6 months worth of dates were canceled when Simon lost his voice. Well, tonight they cancelled Atlanta because Nick is sick. They haven't mentioned cancelling any other shows, but I'm supposed to go on Wednesday so... you know... *sigh* See highly appropriate icon.
Can I please ctrl-atl-delete the weekend and just start over from scratch?
ETA: Oh, an Neil Armstrong died today. Always a childhood hero of mine.
So today can just suck it.
