Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dana, "authorization" usually means the insurance company isn't letting them fill it.

"authorization" usually means the insurance company isn't letting them fill it.

Or as one feisty pharmacist put it, "They're hoping you die before they have to pay for it again."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Now they've admitted they had the authorization, and it's going to ship any day now.

Then I asked if they could upgrade the shipping, since there's been this delay.

Then she said she'd check on it.

Then I was disconnected.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's frigging annoying, Dana.

Now the second guy is telling us that they won't upgrade the shipping because it's not their fault.

I have handed the phone to my husband, what with the being incoherent.

Sweet Jesus on a rowboat.

Well, the guy claims it's "expedited." I'm not entirely confident, but I guess we'll see.

So Irene is looking like it is going to be a bit of a problem. People are freaking out. I was in Kmart picking up some shampoo and batteries and the clerk said that Walmart was sold out of water.

The ground is thoroughly saturated and Baltimore is looking like a bullseye for most of the storm's trajectory.

And I have a hair appointment @11:30 saturday and am supposed to meet up with my old neighbors in Fells Pt Saturday night. I'm not sure if the latter is going to happen. Pretty sure the former will but it'll be an awful drive, potentially.

I'm wondering if I should start getting concerned.

Tired of EPIC NATURAL DISASTERS!!! Record heat, record earthquake, now possibly "the worst hurricane impacts in 50 years along the northern part of the Atlantic seaboard as Irene plows northward."

Sarameg, the Mayor's already talking about making that area a no parking zone. Last worst-case-scenario (Isabel), we were moving the cars we could get to at 3am, so this seems like a wise idea. Here's hoping the storm turns.

ETA Half of me wants to drive down there with sandbags right now, even though I know this is a ridiculous thing to do.

Yeah, we might need to meet up at Hamilton tavern if at all. Somewhere higher. (I haven't had a chance to read the news yet.) As long as it is headed up the Chesapeake, downtown will flood.
