We've been socked in since late last night with the wet stuff. Poured until just after noon here. Got sunny for a while, but now it looks a little cloudy. It's not supposed to rain anymore tonight, though, and I hope it doesn't. It always sucks for the trick-or-treaters when it rains. Boo!

Hit the Epcot Food and Wine Festival with gatorpez yesterday. Came ( Read more... )

Syfy finally announces renewal of HAVEN for a third season! Considering we were left on a complete cliffhanger, I am relieved. *whew*

In more Syfy news, the network sets winter return dates for MERLIN S4, BEING HUMAN S2, and has picked up LOST GIRL that I've seen several flisters talking about.

HBO renews BOARDWALK EMPIRE for S3. Not surprising ( Read more... )

Doesn't have quite the same kick as the title Waiting for Godot, now does it? But that's what I'm doing - sitting here watching the guys outside waiting on the cement mixer so they can finally pour the new porch floor. And hoping we don't get anymore passing showers today, though of course it looks cloudy. Not good.

I almost missed the fact that ( Read more... )

Apparently it's fall, and it's too damn hot, still in the 90's and like a gazillion-percent humidity. Misery ( Read more... )

First post of September and feeling a little lonely. I'm here by myself with the furry kids because The Spousal Unit and The Boy are in Gainesville tonight for the first Gator game of the season. I encouraged TSU to take TB since today is his birthday, and I thought it would be something fun for him to do. I'll go to the game next Saturday. The ( Read more... )

The last time I posted it was to hope Irene wouldn't slam into Florida. Since then she's become a concern for all our friends from NC up the NE coast, so trust me when I say I feel ya this weekend. Now that Irene has made landfall in NC, though, it looks like she'll lose a lot of steam the further up the coast she goes, so that's a good thing. ( Read more... )

If anyone who knows me and my land line number and has maybe been trying to call it for the last, oh I don't know, three days, it's apparently out. I wouldn't have known this because, unlike the last few times it's been out, I have a dial tone and can call out on my phone. But no one can call in - rings and rings on their end, nada on mine ( Read more... )

This so far mostly sucky year is half over. Woop.

The Spousal Unit and I saw Cowboys and Aliens this afternoon, and we liked it. It totally had a graphic novel feel to it, and the name was truth in advertising. Cowboys fighting aliens - exactly what we were expecting. I don't know what the hell the critics were expecting, but it was what it was ( Read more... )

Since my mom died I've slowed down considerably with my reading. I want to read, I think it'll take my mind off things that are bothering me - but I'm finding it hard to concentrate, which makes me even crazier and actually more depressed. And I am depressed right now, I know it, I can feel it, and there are a few reasons for it that are perfectly ( Read more... )

Another one of those late evening thunderstorms, sans the storms part. *aaarrrggghhh* We need rain ( Read more... )
