I’m outtie

For the last few days we’ve been ravaged by big storms ripping down trees and blowing up transformers (the boring kind). The older part of town, where at we live, is the most exciting part in that regard because everything is old and comes apart easily. On a jog yesterday I had to jump over fallen trunks and limbs and circumnavigate lake-sized puddles. Luckily the highway always stays on during outtages and it’s packed with fast food restaurants and wal-marts that’ll keep you plenty occupied any time of the day or night. I myself usually sit around and watch movies until my laptop’s battery dies. Then I just sit around. That’s how I saw The Happening. My goodness was that film ever terrible. I’ll miss the storms when I leave.

The good news is I’ll be headed to Washington this Saturday. BOOYAH! Gots a Southwest ticket in my sweaty hand, and my replacement Cybook arrived today! Great timing.

Unrelatedly, I stumbled across a great band called Foxy Shazam. If you’ve never heard of them, imagine The Blood Brothers, Showbread and Ben Folds having a massive orgy on stage. And if you’re not familiar with all of those groups, just imagine a brightly-lit and athletic orgy. Sexy right? Exactly my point. Check ‘em out here.
