Huh. Just got my first Emergency Warning broadcast, for flooding along the Russian River.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!

I have a leak in the sink, which is annoying. I'm gonna have to find a plumber, as replacing the drain on my kitchen sink really doesn't appeal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just snagged the MP3 of Ultimate Showdown. Definitely goes on my upbeat playlist.

You know, if I had an Emergency Warning broadcast, I wouldn't know unless they e-mailed me. Did you see it on TV or hear it on the radio, Consuela?

b) Why were people confused when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett? Makes perfect sense to me. I'm craxy over him.

I was confused because her having that much taste seemed weird.

And then I was confused because people were confused for other reasons. Lyle Lovett is lovely.

I hope it turns out to be nothing, Consuela.

I guess that's a problem with people timeshifting their TV and radio -- there's less of a way to get through to them Right Away. OTOH, last time I was made aware of an alert, someone called one of the people I was out with, and then two of us used our phones to get on the web and look up the story as it was breaking.

They're telling people to get out of low-lying areas along the river in Sonoma County.

And we just got a NWS Severe Thunder Storm warning for eastern Alameda County. Huh. It's not even raining right now.

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

What Plei said.

It's been raining here since last night, Consuela, sometimes really hard, and I lost power sometime between 5:00 and 7:00 this morning.

It could have chosen a better weekend for this weather. I have 200+ lbs of dog in my house, and they're a little ripe. And a leaky sink. Pffft.

I think I'm ringing in the new year with cat barf. Off to petwhatever to go buy hairball goo. Sigh.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what he must have been thinking.

I think I'm ringing in the new year with cat barf.

Hey, I have dog barf! I think I'm taking myself out for coffee before I break out the carpet cleaner.
