...finally posted the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, then thanked Kent.

...re-watched "28 Days Later" to get me in the proper mindset before reading the first issue of the eponymous Boom! miniseries.

...got my hair cut and for once, it wasn't a disaster.

. . . sent good vibes, and a prayer, towards Stealth, cleome and FC (for her racoon war ~ it's hard to keep them out of the garden! You almost have to appease them with something else that they might enjoy more, like maybe, a bowl of dog food and a pan of water. My racoons favored hot dogs.)

. . . sent an incredulous look toward Cobie for saying that racoons are ugly.

. . . got lost in Portland yesterday, while trying to get to Astoria and am awake, now, with a toothache, waiting for the Aleve to kick in.
sigh

thought someone sent me good vibes, but Letterman (of Electric Company fame) must have changed the "b" to a "c" and I got to enjoy a long morning in bed watching "The West Wing" reruns while eating raisin bran crunch ... all good vices ...

...took long walk around town, visited the British import store, couldn't find the Mediterranean import store, had some really greasy fish and chips, walked around more, visited two comic shops (only one had Adventure 2), and got tired and headed home.

...baked cookies with my Mom, and thanked Shady.

...had a decent end to my shift at work after it got off to a rocky start.

...thanked my LMB buddies, before disappearing into the real world for a week of moving boxes and gratuitous de-stickering of quality overpriced "activewear."

...had to work, so I missed all but about an hour of fabulous NFL football.

...have a potato chip hangover.

. . . changed my avatar to an amazing portrait by MLLASH and Nightcrawler!
I just wish that I actually looked like her.

(But hey, I'm still dancing ~

I'm sending good vibes your way, Sharks!
I saw a TV commercial about a new movie, recently. There were 3 guys in the ocean, still close to the beach, with this little shark just zipping around them in a 'circle of life'.
lol
I thought of you.

...am totally digging the new avatar, Shady! Nice!

(agreed!)
...caught up on my readings for tomorrow, made soup, and messed around on the web.

...hoped the water, or at least the cable would come back on. No luck thus far though. Still it could be a lot worse, four people have died in the flooding around Atlanta so far.

...wondered at the sad irony of Atlanta being flooded after suffering awful drought last year.

...ate an apple for breakfast and brought a banana for a snack. I'm not even trying to eat healthy, I think my tastes are just changing.

...appreciated my mother-in-law bringing us over some water. The WSA is "hopeful" service will be back by tomorrow. No cable/internet yet either, thankfully my wife's laptop is available for a brief check-in.

...wished Matt best of luck in getting things back up and running proper!

...offered well wishes to Matlock, his family, and everyone else affected.

thanks Cobie and Kent for the well wishes. Things are better tonight. The cables on, and we have a trickle of water running. My wife heated up enough water on the stove to get semi-cleaned and I was able to fill the toilet tanks up. The main thing now is that we're all getting a bit of cabin fever. My wife can't get to her office and school's out til at least Thursday. Still, we are very thankful that we're safe and sound and so are our families. So many people here have been hit much harder than us, it seems ungrateful to gripe about things at all.

Matlock,

Glad to hear things are starting to get back to normal for you. From the drought last year to flooding this year. Hopefully no more rain will come your way until all the flood waters go down.

...was sorry to hear about the floods, but glad to hear that matlock & family are okay.

...wondered if Cobalt has read the now-complete Lard Lass story over on Bits.

. . . am glad Cobie and Kent like MLLASH's/Nightcrawler's work.


. . . sent up a prayer of thanks for matlock&family's safety and asked for blessings for them and their whole area.
