Still single... always random...

Today's entry finds me at home due to the impending "hurricane". To say I think work jumped the gun a little yesterday by closing today would be an understatement.  While I enjoy the free day off, I also have stacks of work which by tomorrow will be a mountain with wildfires burning everywhere.  As a born and bred Northerner, I suppose I don't

Nah, I bet you'd still be posting on LJ if you had a million dollars. :)

Is anywhere open for lunch today, or are they being wusses and taking the day off too? We should meet somewhere for grub since you're off and bored!

[tlc71076]

Probably just once a year rather than 2 or 3 times. :)

Who knows... but considering I am currently eating my breakfast I don't think I'd be wanting lunch until about 3. :)

Bah, it'll probably be too icky by then. Plus I'd've died of hunger by 2:30. You just don't luff me anymore. :(

[tlc71076]

I was sure you were going to die of hunger ages ago! :)

My town used to be known for not cancelling school when all of the towns around it did.

They seem to have gotten a little wimpier about snow since I was a kid, at least in Massachusetts. Whenever snow is coming, it seems like the news networks go on a tear about the "blizzard" that is coming, and then we end up with 5 inches, and some of the towns still cancelled school. It's not like in my day when we all had to walk to and from school through 3 feet of snow, going uphill both ways, with nothing on our feet but the tattered remnants of burlap sacks, since we couldn't afford shoes (OK, that's a slight exaggeration).

[tlc71076]

At least you had burlap sacks. After two or three snows, O took to throwing my brother and sister to the ground and using them to ski home on. :)

I agree on the "wimpier" thing. Everyone is paranoid about hurricanes down here. I mean, with a big storm, ok. With something that has been a tropical storm more than a hurricane, no. But what can you expect from crazy FL. :)

I can understand people in the southeastern US being a little paranoid about hurricanes after last year. Up here, though, the emphasis on making every winter storm a "blizzard" or a "nor'easter" seems to be largely hype to get peoples' attention. When a really huge winter storm does come, I wouldn't be surprised if some people get caught because they just assumed that the media were exaggerating as usual!

[tlc71076]

I'm convinced that the weather service is hooked up with the retail industry and that the "storm warnings" are just a way for the stores to pick up some slack for lackluster holiday sales. Hurricane season down here is the new Christmas! :)

If you have a hurricane day do you get to make hurricane angels and have hurricane fights?

[tlc71076]

I'm curently working on a deal with MTV to produce a reality series called, "Hurricane Fights". The premise is that a camera crew will go to grocery stores and Home Depot and watch as people pummel each other for the last case of water and the last piece of plywood. I'm hoping to make millions.

[gfrancie]

screw MTV -take that baby to FOX.

[tlc71076]

Well see, for FOX I was thinking of a spin-off series called, "Storm Swap." The premise for this one being a family in hurricane alley swaps places with a family in the way of a nor'easter and see how each can fend for themselves. I'm working on an empire here. Mark Burnett beware.

Stop teasing me!!! I'll most certainly die if I don't hear your voice soon.

[tlc71076]

Somehow I imagine you won't die. I mean, you may be crippled but definitely won't die. :)

Did you just type "there will cease to be no more turtle music"?

[tlc71076]

That is correct. The Turtles have moved on to a bigger pond.
