The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

Was using a pair of pliers, wasn't really thinking about how I was holding them, slipped, and pinched the pad of my thumb reaaaally hard. Now I have a blood blister and it made my entire right hand and forearm all numb and tingly. It's mostly gone away now, except for the pain in my thumb, but that was a scary half hour.

If it was Wavering Radiant, you didn't miss anything.

Wavering Radiant was their best album. By far.

Oh, and kbith, just get some lotion and skype/phone hand+lotion sexytimes.

If you're really adventurous, try doing it without her catching on.

today:
wake up to find that last night's first big gale off the ocean of the winter inevitably knocked out electricity and cable to the whole area, thus eliminating not only electricity but phone, cable, and internet. cell phone doesnt work, either, because power to tower is apparently out.
figure out that i can get the time by powering up laptop on battery.
make it out door in time to get to attorney appointment by 10AM, when i'm supposed to sign forms and take them to file at courthouse.
arrive at appointment to discover that power is also out at attorney's office and forms can't be printed. go over handwritten stuff, plan strategy; agree to meet again at 1:30, which should allow me to file by 3 before court clerk in Watsonville closes for day.
go home. power is still out; i take batteries from cable remote and put them in alarm clock so i can keep time.
go to return appointment at attorney's. forms take until 2:45 to prepare. i still have until 5 to file today.
i now have to go back home because i need to get my checkbook so i can pay a fine installment due today at the (separate) courthouse in Santa Cruz; i go home, get my checks, and leave. power is now on, but cable/net/phone still out.
i go to Santa Cruz courthouse to pay installment on traffic fine. this is simple.
from parking lot, i have to call on cell phone (since home phone was still out) to make payment on home loan. this requires three calls on cell phone with dying battery. it's now going on 4.
i stop for gas before leaving for courthouse in Watsonville; lock self out of truck. it takes a half-hour to break into truck, which fortunately has old-school vent windows. it's now 4:35. i leave for Watsonville, 14 miles away.
the preceding night's storm has caused power outages disrupting traffic lights in Watsonville. i arrive at the Watsonville courthouse at 5:10 PM, too late to file today, and will have to drive back tomorrow.
for a consolation prize, i stop at Starving Musician on the way home to look at stompboxes; the shop guys, who know me, commisserate about my shit day and legal position.
i drive from Santa Cruz back to Felton, stop at Safeway for some food, and finally get home at 7:20 PM.
i used to make money for working this hard. but at least the TV and internet are back on. and my kitty is here

[the_carl]

Dude, the wind has been crazy here. I don't remember it being like this at all the first two years I was here. There's tree branches everywhere, tree trunks uprooted, the palm trees were bent at like 45 degree angles... It was like a blizzard, but without the snow part. And they sent out a campus-wide emergency notice that woke me up at 8 AM.

[dubkitty]

yeah, last night it was knocking down branches from the redwoods strategically located all around my house so bad it sounded like aircraft parts falling on the roof. there were one or two hits that sounded like i was gonna have stuff sticking out the roof when i woke up; the one where something bounced off one of the bubble skylights in the bathroom was particularly exciting. when i went out to get in the truck today there was an eight-foot-long branch leaning against it which would have taken out the windshield if it'd come down two feet further to the left. the electricity is still out down in town at the shopping center with the Safeway...only the Safeway is up and running on their own generators, even the parking lot lights are out as are the town streetlights and traffic signals. i'm kind of amazed i have power.
