Kansas City is flooding now too.
Oh, shit! My parents are in Hawaii. I really hope they don't come home to a flooded basement. I wonder if my brother has thought to check.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
We are so easily influenced -- I, too, had butter chicken yesterday, and tried ordering it without the chicken. They did it, no fuss, and it was GLORIOUS.

What's in butter chicken besides chicken? I don't remember any veggies in the sauce the way my local Indian restaurant prepares it.
Spent the morning feeding the new mama cat and petting her kittens. She doesn't seem to have a problem with me touching them, and one has learned to purr now. We've come a long way from her clawing me for putting food in front of her. (The credit goes to a nearby restaurant worker, who's been trying to earn her trust for the past three years.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
msbelle, that song was in a commercial that ran a lot during the olympics. It's for some animated movie about animals doing karaoke, as far as I can tell.

Power cutting off at 8 got me out of bed quickly. While the weather is not gawdawful still, it is too much to be without ac and fans. Luckily, was only down 10 minutes or so.
Ran a bunch of errands and Baltimore was out in force, down to random old white lady tossing hamburger buns into the street from her deck. Ohhhhkaaaaaay.
Gonna swim at Druid today. Luckily, not until 4 because my old suit gave up and the new has different straps and some virgin skin will be exposed. Less chance for a burn later in the day.
I should vacuum.

Argh. People. When I say we need to leave at 930 and you are walking the two blocks to my house do not make me call you at 945 and say where are you and tell me "oh, we are leaving in a minute" GRRR

Mine was just chicken.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
WS, again thanks, your insight is really helpful. I feel more prepared for the conversation now.
meara, my family does that to me all the time! "We're on our way" is not equivalent to being here on time. And my sister hates it when other people make her wait! At least I know where my problem with time management came from.

Oh, I have a question for the makeup-wearing part of the hivemind.
I want a mascara that just makes my lashes darker. They don't need to be longer or thicker or look like false lashes. Maybelline used to make a lash tint, but they stopped. Does any such thing still exist? I'm a little scared to dye my lashes.
