obligatory tornado post

Couple days ago, we had a drill at work. Had to go to the basement. It was basically nothing though. I'm getting used to the weather alert constantly going off too.

However, we're at 90% humidity today and it's hard to even breathe. No bike ride today.

So, if anyone is wondering, I am in the area of the "greatest potential", but I don't think one has ever hit up North. It always hits the West side of town...becuase the West side of town is evil. Duh.
Still, the animals are all inside and I'm watching ye olde Weather Channel just in case.

Funnel clouds in Denver? So much hail it looks like snow? WTF?

Did you L.A. kids know that Good Day L.A. is also run as a national program called Good Day Live? I can't escape those half-wits. Damn you Jillian Barbarie, you annoying hobag.

Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] nerdcoretoastie!

5:48pm The wind is making awful noises, the air is so moist that everything is somewhat wet to the touch and we think it set off the fire alarm. There's no other reason for it to have gone off...scared the bejeezus outta me too. I've put my fish (in their containers) in the bathtub and my camera and purse (containing journal and radio) are by the stairs to the basement. A few windows are open to alleviate suction, just in case. Yeh, I like to be prepared. I not-so-secretly love this tiny bit of chaos...so pardon my mild enthusiasm. :}

wow, i had no idea that shit was no severe until i looked at all this shit about tornadoes in kansas yesterday.
i guess riley county doesn't have much history for bad tornadoes, which makes me feel a lot better.

are you going to be in topeka or lawrence when i'm there? i arrive the 28th of june and leave the 3rd of august. i just decided yesterday that i'm flying and will be renting a car on a weekend if i can afford it.

i'm so excited to go there! and to see you too! please don't get blown away before i come though!

Yeeeeah, it's currently fucking with Riley county though. Heh. YAY, ON ITS WAY TO MEEEEEE.

I'll be in Topuka, most certainly. Which is okay, I guess...closer anyway.

And now, now I must turn the computer off.
I promise not to get blown away. Impaled through a tree, maybe...but not blown away. ;D

And I'm glad to see that icon again. :)

Yesss, I heard that too...down South though, wasn't it? That can of BBQ (ick) Pringles we have in the kitchen just may be worth 3204839543298 dollars! O_O E. Bay.

Yeah, I think I remember that now, about Good Day Live. I might have blocked it out. Damn those wacky morning "personalities".

Dood, one hit Lawrence. But it didn't stay on the ground long and only got a couple apartment buildings. I haven't heard of any injuries or deaths yet, but it completely took the roof off of one of the buildings. It was southwest of campus, so if it had stayed on the ground, it probably would have taken the dorms and some of the University. Yarrrrgh. :(

It's true. I repel tornadoes. It's a gift really.

Jillian may be a hobag (and, really, she probably is), but she is still one of the six attractive women I have ever seen to have come out of Canada. So she at least gets endangered species/rare exhibit points.

Man, even if she were mute, she'd still look like she was beat with the ugly stick...or rather, the too-much-makeup-leathery-hobag stick. Often used in parts of Los Angeles, eh.


I could probably guess...but name the other 5.

shhh, it's a secret

[identity profile] blustocking.livejournal.com 2003-05-09 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, 5 silicone bags....Steve has one too. Just one though.


At least people can no longer say to me, "HAHA, well you're not in Kansas anymore!" Because those witty Angelenos loved that so. YAR HAR HAR.

;)

Sorry, I think she's over-produced and, therefore, kind of plasticy, not not leathery or ugly in the least.

Sixpachyderm will back me up on this. He was intrigued the night I made him watch "Ex-treme dating" during his visit.

The five remaining hot Canadian chicks, in no particular order:

Margo Timmons
Shania Twain
Suglyister
and I'm sorry. I had the other two when I wrote the original, but I just finished a 12 hour shift and just can't pull the other two up. If they come to mind later I'll follow-up.

S'all good.

So watching Jillian Barbarie is like watching a Fisher-Price car crash? Plastic, just plain wrong...but you can't seem to stop looking.

She still looks leathery to me....actually, not so much leathery as pliable. Like I could grab her cheeks and pull and squish and move her face around. Which, in itself, is intriguing.

It's hard, for me, to separate personality from appearance.
