I have a pink Jigglypuff wallet with all my keys attached and an extra keyring for a USB drive and extra pompoms attached. It keeps everything together and very difficult to misplace.

Dude, the belt clip thing makes you look like you're the guy with access to everything. You can still "hide" it in your pocket, without it going through the bottom seam; the clip "lifts" it and secures it without making it go all the way down to the bottom.

The power just went out. On my day off!

Rowrbazzle.

At least it's only 80 degrees outside so a lack of air conditioning will not kill me.

It is like storm surge. The tsunami raises the water by a meter, and the wind driven waves are still on top of the rise. Also a meter of water hitting a beach at 400 mph can still cause damage.

I had a lot of trouble teaching tsunamis to Geo 101 students. They all think of the giant breaker waves from Hollywood, and not "just" a rising tide. It's hard to convince them that stuff hits like a bulldozer on steroids, and you cannot just swim through it. I get that it's not as exciting to look at, but that's the way it works.

Speaking of rising tides, ask them how well just putting their hand over their mouth works at holding in the puke.

Over the weekend I came down with a really bad cold. Snottering like crazy, coughing up a storm. Pretty much surviving on Halls, Dayquil and Alka Seltzer C&C.

I got half a mind to call in sick tomorrow. Except there are clients coming in for production.

I just agreed to make potato salad for 40 people for Saturday afternoon.
This was not smart. I don't know how to expand a recipe by 10x and have it still work!
*sigh*

I ordered an HDMI cable a few days ago, to be delivered today.
I changed my shipping adress to my current address - the seller had my old info storeed.
I changed my shipping address for Paypal, too.
What I didn't think to do, was change my address for the delivery company. Who apprently still decided to ship it to Brussels instead of here. Fuckers.
I have to go to Brussels anyway on Thursday so I should be able to retrieve it, but still. Grrr.

The "really bad cold" is now officially an upper respiratory infection.

Still at work.

Was that before Phuket? That footage is quite the example for high tide.

Assuming you mean the big December 2004 tsunami, yeah, I showed footage of that in class. That's actually the one I was thinking of when I posted that. It looks non-threatening to an outside observer, which is why they students thought of it as far less impressive than the Deep Impact type movie "tsunamis". It looks like a moderate hazard at worst, so they all think, "Oh that's nothing".

WHY are you rating that post "Love it?!" This is not a "love it" situation, it's swarms of bugs fucking (literally fucking) everywhere, in the air, on your house, on your car, in your hair, EVERYWHERE is sex for these!

And the worst thing of all is their acidic body chemistry, which means if you splat lovebugs on the highway you have to get a car wash RIGHT NOW or the goop hardens and basically takes your paint off with it.



I mean, granted, if my adult lifespan was 3-5 days, I'd spend all of it fucking, too, but I'd at least do it indoors and in private!

Dammit, the lovebugs are back! We already had lovebugs this year! It's supposed to be every 2 or 3 years, not every 6 months!

I'm at a regional work meeting this evening, and aside from old guys droning on, I do have to wonder how necessary some of this information is. Does it really need to be communicated in person? My gut says "hell no!" Ug.

So, I'm totally floored right now.

On Saturday Night my daughter's babysitter got married and we were invited to a wonderful Italian wedding. I got to meet her family, our family a great time and we went home with happy memories.

I just found today that her mother, a lovely woman of 52 who I spoke while we greeted her family and was the proudest mother to see her oldest child get married.... suddenly died in her sleep... the same night her daughter got married.

Jebus. Life. You scary.

Someone was actually serious about just wanting to live long enough to see their kids get married...

The other week my girlfriend used a toll freeway twice and then forgot to pay it until we got a $100 fine. Then she left her car unlocked and someone ripped out and stole the control console. Now she's just lost her phone who knows where, Find My Phone isn't connecting to it and it's looking like we're going to have to buy her a replacement.
I love her, but god is her airheadedness costing us a lot of money that didn't need to be spent lately and I'm starting to feel resentful of the hours we've each spent at our practically minimum-wage jobs that she's basically undone.

Dude...I dunno if I could easily forgive that level of negligence. I mean, good on ya if you are able...but damn that's a lot of shit to happen just because your S.O. wasn't paying attention!
