Pre-losing Power Blogging
I dont want to sound alarmist or anything with the title of this post, but unfortunately, our neighborhood loses power when the old lady at the Farm Stores down the street has hiccups.
We're pretty much ready for Ernesto the Asthmatic Hurricane - we'll call him El Che from now on as he really isnt going to accomplish much except for being a major pain in the ass. You know, full of sound and fury signifying nothing and all that...
I didnt board up windows and I still have blue tarp on my roof. I just dont think El Che will be that bad a storm and reports seem to concur.
I will lose power though, so iffin ya dont see me posting all that much between now and say Thursday morning, it's because Im drinking beer and frolicking in the pool and having all sorts of fun with Mr. Generator.
Just in case, though, send me some extra spark plugs. Champion R-J17LM.
And beer.

Err....Val? You might want to watch the references to a certain Shakespeare play that starts with "M". Believe it or not, a friend of mine (who also happens to be in theatre) found out the *hard* way that even outside a theatre, messing around with talking about "The Scottish Play" can cause all sorts of weird things to happen! (I'm totally serious!) (Though that line is most certainly appropriate when referring to El Che!)
On a more practical note-hope the storm doesn't turn out as bad as predicted, and that everyone comes through OK. :)

pesh,
Although I know the line is from Shakespeare, I prefer to interpret it ala Faulkner.

Val, you sure you wanna take the risk of not boarding up your windows? I mean, with all them flying Hialeahns and all. Haha. Stay safe man.

I thought it was only going to be a tropical storm. Hope you don't lose power, and that it's only a little huffing and puffin.
Yoan, you moved to MySpace?

Nah, that's just a profile. I'm not blogging much these days.
