Dan snores, and it makes me laugh. He's about 1/3 Doug sound level.

The 2nd movie - Return of Gaimajin was even better than the first. good hurricane karma, I got them by helping with Charley.

Newt's being naughty... hissing at Janet a lot. (A bit at Dan, too. I don't think he's happy sharing space with them.) If I pick Newt up, he quiets down and purrs like a fiend... I'm an anchor of familiarity in this place.

Danny pointed something out to me on the way to his place yesterday... how do new and used car lots empty out so fast? Where do they put 'em? I theorized that there's some hidden underground parking or more likely that they're accordianed in the back. I got a call from Wilt, and he told me that no wood is going on my windows.. just tape. Ugh... I'm glad I was smart and packed up all my important tech and took it with me.

I'm glad I left on Thursday, because I hear that the roads are now mobbed with folks trying to get the heck out of there.

Dan's house is super-prone to little power-flickers at this point I'm glad I had a candle in the bathroom while I took my morning shower.. I'm glad that I've got a surge bar and that lappie is on battery power.

Wind's kicking up pretty good, now... I'll have some nifty movies to upload from the palm after the storm.

Another J factoid - She's never, ever stopped talking when I've been within earshot. Talks back to the TV, and steps on other people talking, too. I wonder if she ever has a quiet time? I think that maybe her own voice is a comfort to herself? I suspect it's a nervous habit, to take her mind off of other things.

Mighty windy and wet at this point. Lots of boil water orders, though not in my region quite yet.

Waffles for late breakfast today - clearing out the freezer in case of a long term power out.


All in all, Still safe and sound. Still mostly have power, a/c and light.

Now Scott, You know animals are the best judge of people...;)

I am glad you got out when you did too...there are people still toughing it out...It's a shame too because they say the flooding will be tremendous and that is where the loss of life occurs the most.

*hugs*

hang in there.....

yes, Dial up is a pain after getting use to broadband...

I think it's mostly because he's not used to them, and they're not over-used to working with critters.

*hugs*

We're high and dry!

Poor Newt. At least he isn't traumatized though and constantly hiding/crying. I've had kitties do that.
All and all I'd say he's being a pretty good boy, and it's amusing when cats hiss at people anyway ;)

It looks like it's getting really bad, so I'm glad you posted to let us know you're safe.
LA airport was closed down just a little while ago because of a suspicious person and a flashlight that exploded.

The lucky thing for you may be that you rent and don't own in case there is heavy damage. I hope your landlord is wrong and that he does find wood to put on your windows.

Be safe and relax. ::hugs::

glad you're alright. still take precautions because frances is bigger than florida. newt's nervous. you know animals feel things first. if he gets to running and hiding, go w/him. dan's a good friend considering his allergies.

some guy had a flashlight in his carry on at LAX. after it was x-rayed the workerbee went to touch it and it exploded. in another terminal someone bypassed securtiy check. those 2 incidents shut lax down this morning.

had something else but i've forgotten what. geefus!

Dan's hanging in there allergy-wise, thank goodness.

Frances seems to be just spinning in place!

Why are you a member of the menstrualhut community? Just curious.

why a member? I'm the founder!

Why the founder? I was talking about mum.org with my sweetheart, and I thought it'd be a cool sort of place for support to set up in LJ. To my knowledge, the hut is the first female fertility/menstrual community on LJ, though there have been a number of ones springing up afterward.

Haha! You need to make an advert for your lj info page that says something like "Not only am I president, but I'm a member."

heh... I do have a little note from me in the hut's bio page, just asking folks to keep stuff that isn't worksafe behind a cut.

I mean like a spoof on those hair club for men commericals. Maybe take a picture of yourself in the white doctors coat, grinning from ear to ear.

heh, that'd be cute, but I'd probably only put it on my bio page... don't want to scare any gals off by my holding a speculum. :)

Exactly. I'm having my period right now, fyi. I added you to my aim list but you are never on!
