+have a house with enough food to make it to next Thursday

In a week where I was metaphorically pissed on every day, it could really end in no other way than being literally pissed on by the cat. I was sitting on the floor, playing Soul Calibur III, when all of a sudden I feel some warmth on my leg. I got pissed. I took a shower. I vented to some friends.

I would be able...

Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I just finished my first solid food meal of barbeque. The cat has HIV (well, FIV if you want to get technical), I have some weak-ass Vicodin that doesn't do too much for me, I have work on Monday, and I'm gonna watch the Astros game. That's about it, really.

Yes ma'am. Although you know that I never do anything worthwhile.

Today is odd. It's 79 outside, which is cause enough to cut the A/C and open the windows. It usually doesn't start cooling down until much later in the month, but you'll never hear me complain.

Back. The trip back in wasn't nearly as bad as the one in. 11 1/2 hours to Austin, 3 1/2 (normal) back.

As for Port Arthur, Beaumont, and Cameron Parish, LA, they're very much...

...Oh, shit!

Well, it was (but shouldn't have been) a surprise to hear that mandatory evacuations are taking place tomorrow for the county adjacent. There is, after all, a possible Cat 4/5 hurricane headed straight for my front door.

I don't watch the news. I don't actively seek it. Spin and sensationalism are bad for your blood pressure, man. So I had heard the name...

Is there even any point in updating a journal when all you do is IRC whore with your every free moment?

I got to go have fun with the Christian coalition today. Had to go with the fam to get my truck sorted out ($1300 for all body and mechanical repairs, unless salvage will give me half a Honda I'd say this is my best...

I'm coming to realize there are even more dangerous things to do while intoxicated than driving. Contemplating your life is one of them. Assembling furniture is not, but is certainly fraught with an obvious bit of peril. But let's face it, I'm in training.

I've been honest-to-God trying to find a picture of myself to put to the left here. The sheer reality of it...
