I seem to remember being a teenager and rolling my eyes at parents (but I think not my parents?) who wanted us to get off the phone in a storm, when the phone was cordless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Health~ma to Drew.
I have the 365 cats calendar. Today's cat is named Loki, and his owner is named Sarah, from Baltimore, MD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just stepped inside after hanging out on my balcony watching a severe thunderstorm roll through. (I figure I'm safe because I'm surrounded by buildings higher than I am.)
I even ate a few pieces of hail that I picked up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It astonishes me that multiple people are willing to name their cats Loki. I mean, I believe it, but it's like that time they called a hurricane Ophelia.

Also, I forgot my computer at work, so I either need to skip tomorrow morning's teleconference or get up super-early to be at the office by 7. Mother fudgebucket.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I named two cats Banshee and Jinx once. In retrospect, don't do that.

Just now my cat was sitting in an open window when some loud thunder came out of the blue. She looked around nervously and after a few seconds she decided to leave the window. But no hiding for her.
She's pretty mellow. When we had an earthquake at 4:00 am she was concerned but not freaked out.

Hope the stone passes as painlessly as possible, Drew.
A friend's grandfather was once struck by lightning that came through a windowpane and the back of an armchair. And I've had a TV get fried by a nearby lightning strike. (Dad was a TV repairman, and has seen old style picture tubes explode like frag grenades, so we were always very careful about TVs during storms.)
