The guy on the television just said, "Charley has been upgraded to a level 4 hurricane. Experts are telling Lake County citizens to get prepared now."

Get prepared now? The storm's going to hit in a few hours. If you're not prepared now, there probably isn't much you can do to get prepared. Yesterday, Super Target was completely out of water and almost out of canned foods. Why didn't they tell us to get prepared, oh, yesterday?

The Snotty Cootiepants thread. Thank goodness I'm alone in the office as Steve/SoCal's last post made me "HAH HAHA!" out loud. Dude. That thread is some hysterical stuff.

Making a lovely craft out of shopping bags! I could get all nit-picky about which flaws are examples of handmade charm and which one is just sloppy, but the end result is nice, and I'm quite pleased with it. I kinda wish I could keep the darn thing, actually. Ah, well. Mail it away! Make people smile! (Hope I have the right address!)

Remembering my lovely dreams!

listening to Linford's solo cd with a side of thunder while falling asleep.

Thunderstorms are absolutely one of my most favorite things...I can truly say that I love them. Especially at night. I don't even care if it scares me out of a deep sleep...

* Cramming in Van Gelis CD on the way to work and thinking that "Hymne" song was that great great "love song" from The Year of Living Dangerously, but quickly realizing it was NOT ... remembering that I wanted "Hymne" because I had heard it at a wedding a couple of years ago ... then realizing that, 2 songs later on the CD (had I even realized it was on there?), the song "L'enfant" was the one I was looking for! *

: )

hot black coffee on one of those cool grey skied fall mornings... mmmm!
