There was just a very large bird I am pretty sure was a hawk (it disappeared while I was getting the binoculars) circling around the nearby canyon. It wass cool.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just found a rewards card I thought I'd lost. It still has $60 on it.
Off to Zappos.

I propped up my porch again. At least with the termite treatment over, I can hire professionals to build me a new one.

I lost almost all of today to rampant napping, which I apparently needed far more than going to see a new movie. Also, after lunch I went to Pier One and despite forgetting my gift card yet again bought what may be the most comfortable throw pillow in the history of the universe.
Why is it I only ever think of going to the local Italian restaurant on Saturday night when it's most expensive? Any other night I can get a 3-course meal for $22 or less.

For the same reason I decided a dinner of balsamic on greens and a ginger-soy tuna steak was the only thing I wanted when vinegar always makes my jaw muscles tweak and I already had a tweaking muscle. Humans are strange.
And now I literally have a KNOT at the corner of my jaw. It is kind of freaking me out. Going to apply some heat, then ice.
Humans are strange.

I was at a festival of world cultures in my town today. Or Festival of World Cultures, depending on how you look at it, I guess. 100,000 people, apparently, which is a lot where I'm from. Lots of good acts, much dancing, but I couldn't get into my local. Which is less fun. Went to a friend's new place for wine instead. We could still hear music from the main stage, which was nice. I should probably got to bed now.
Edited because I may be slightly tipsy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I tried to nap. It should have happened. It didn't.
It's a sad day when you're too tired to sleep.

Oh, fuck me. According to the Weather Channel, the three-hour drive from New Orleans to Jackson could take 24 hours.
That's just fear-mongering, right? Even the Weather Channel needs ratings?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I-55 is supposed to be 4 lanes north-bound all the way to Brookhaven MS already. Did the Weather Channel factor that in?

More that they fear-monger and create a panic. And they're only talking about interstates; I'm willing to bet the sideroads and alternate routes will be fine.
Case in point: Co-worker went to son's wedding last year in New Orleans. Hurricane bears down, they evacuate city, wedding moved to Baton Rouge. Co-worker told, "Don't use I-10, it'll be way too crowded. Bet you'll get there faster on US 90." Co-worker uses 90 and is in Baton Rouge and has no problems with traffic.
I'm willing to bet it'll be the same situation this time around, too.
