Hurricanes and Candy Canes

Alright, so a few weeks ago, mother Earth decided it was time once again to treat the gulf coast as her urinal. As "mom's" feminine cycles go, apparently its that time of the month (or rather, century) for her, and unfortunately, there isn't enough Midol in the world to calm this storm.

My fellow Gamespot buddy m0zart is knowledgable about these things, and heard today that its now classified as a category 5, and headed right for us here in Houston. Category 5 hurricanes are particuarly nasty. The winds are the speed of a tornado, and given the size of this one, its basically like a tornado the size of small state is going to ravage my area. That would be bad enough, but its much worse, believe me. Hundreds of small but fierce tornados form inside of the hurricane's circular winds themselves, and are pushed by that wind like speeding bullets from one end to the other, basically ripping apart everything in their trajectory.

In other words, its time to get the hell out of dodge. Walk-in closet campouts aren't going to cut it this time around.

So I am going to be doing exactly that. I haven't decided yet whether I'll go with m0zart to Virginia, or up to Texarkana. Wherever I go, it won't be anywhere near Houston. Maybe its time for a vacation at San Antonio. A good look at the Alamo is just what I need at a time like this.

ANYWAY... just wanted to post what was up. I know that most of you don't care, and that's alright by me. If some of you get a sick pleasure out of my suffering, well that's alright by me as well ;) Enjoy it while it lasts.
