Gucci collar for dollar.


Next time, you see Kyle, congratulate him on becoming a tropical storm.


My current worst fear in life is that I'll refer to someone on the phone as "sir" and it'll actually be a lady.

Operation Desert Storm.

ohai, Dolly!

Hai!


Plan for the day: Enjoy a tasty bowl of soup then storm-romp. And romp, I shall. FEMA recently redrafted a bunch of flood-planes in NM, especially in Rio Rancho. So, it'll be a lot of interesting to see what happens today. Seek higher ground, desert. For pretty much the first time ever.

I applied for a job that would require me to talk about storms a lot. I think I'm one of about 5 people in the world who would actually be excited to do that.

Smashing blankets into swings.

Why exactly is the Weather Channel so soothing? Maybe it's the gentle lull of the pretty colored satellite images swirling and and moving repeatedly, the fantastic graphics for "partly cloudy". Even when it's talking about the most catastrophic storm to hit in decades, the smooth jazz still makes you go, "Aww, everything will be okay."


This isn't a joke.


Or maybe the Weather Channel should be more like a horror movie and as the storm gets closer, the music gets more dramatic. Kind of like that marching music CNN plays whenever they're covering a really dramatic story.

Toknight, it's Dark. I think every person in Albuquerque will be going to Century 24 tonight, so I look forward to seeing you all. My giant movie posse for the 12:02 includes full Geeks Who Drink team, my own personal superheroes known as Casey & Ashley, as well as Angie, who's coming all the way from Las Alamos for the festivities. We are strong, we are mighty. We're missing one very, very, very important figure, so if anyone has a ticket for 12:02 they're willing to give up, I will pay you in cash and hugs.

Man, am I excited for this weekend. It's shaping up to be an exercise in sleep deprivation (but that's not a big deal), but I can only hope it will be filled with good music, good people and good beer. Mile High Music Fest's site says Tom Petty gets over 2 hours to rock and roll. Epic!
