As you all may or may not know, my friend Mike is currently riding out Hurricane Dennis in Niceville. He's totally not the panicky type, so I'm not worried about him, say, freaking out (he was annoyingly passive when Charley shook the entire building last year!) and crying like a little girl.

When the power came back, the door chime in my alarm has been beeping incessantly every 30 seconds or so. Since THURSDAY. You can understand my frusteration at the complex being so unwilling to offer any kind ( Read more... )

Just checking in. We survived Charley - scary as hell for me, but naturally, Mike never got even a bit nervous when I was at my battiest. Or when the windows vibrated. Or when the building started to shake. Damn cheap wooden buildings ( Read more... )

Spent another evening of video games and stuff with Mike, my official Hurricane Decoy. We're camping out tomorrow in this here apartment until the storm blows over.
