sunshine_queenWe survived the hurricane!
It turns out the formula we had last year works: prepare yourself for a hurricane, and it will not come. Be completely cocky that it ain't coming your way and bada bing.
My mom's way of prevention goes a little something like this:
- make coffee to put in the fridge so she can have it when there's no 'lectricity
- freeze water bottles and stuff so that she can put them in the fridge/freezer to maintain coldness if 'lectricity goes out
- make baked goods.
No, for serious.
Like, yesterday I come home, and there's one big chocolate cake and two little vanilla ones. Sometime around eleven last night she started making chocolate chip cookies, and then she made a pineapple upside down cake. It's her way of dealing with nervousness.
So, no hurricane, no loss of electricity, only irritating modem issues that miraculously stopped after I got and gave my mother the computer. I survived my frustration by listening to the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack (yeah, don't know why it calmed me, but whatever works. Kept me from hysterics) and Tessa's patience with me and my continual Camille antics.
There was some rain, a little wind, and I got ten hours of sleep last night. It was miraculous.
I, however, am trying to write a fic for alias 500's challenge this week, a crossover, and I can't do it. It's just not working. It's irritating. And Yahtzee's latest update slayed me. All you not reading "Bind Them With Fury" are really missing out.
Today I mostly watched Alias. My mom and I watched the season two bloopers, and then she asked to watch "Rendezvous," which is her favorite episode, due to the Girly Scream. After that, we watched the Season One bloopers, and then I watched Almost Thirty Years with the commentary, which delighted my father, because he loved the idea of everyone commenting on the episode. And then I watched Conscious with the Jen Garner/Melli George/Ken Olin commentary, which was fabulous. And I've only talked to Hanny all day, and now she's gone and I'm all lonely. :(
