Alright. So today was...kinda bad. But there’s good news and bad news.

The Bad News. In a word, Rita. Now, everyone’s freaking out about what could happen. Mom wants to leave ASAP, but since Dad isn’t here, there’s a huge “What now?” question. Dad doesn’t come in till Friday, and the storm’s supposed to hit Thursday. God forbid Dad’s offshore company have the sympathy to send their workers home considering that some of their families are now facing the threat of a hurricane. Mom doesn’t wanna spend 10 hours in traffic (whether just stuck in traffic or going to a certain destination), and I’m not too thrilled about the idea either. See, according to most stations, Rita is supposed to go across the gulf and then veer up towards Huston. But now they’re saying it could hit anywhere from Huston to Lake Charles, or even as close as Abbeville(sp?). Either way you look at it, we’re on the east side of the hurricane, so we’re on the bad side. Even if it doesn’t hit near us the storm surge will be enough to overload and re-flood New Orleans along with most of our coast. And Mom doesn’t intend to board up the house or anything, and that’s not cool. I don’t like the idea of leaving the house unprotected...It’s just too soon. It feels like we’re only just getting over Katrina (and some of us still aren’t over her) and it’s too soon for this mess to be starting up again! I can’t wait till we move. But that won’t be for another year of course. /sigh I keep thinking of the stupid lines from The Little Mermaid Things like “Hurricane a’commin!”

The Good News. Mom got me an ‘early’ birthday present in the form of pre-ordering Black&White 2. I was so excited. And she got it for 2 day delivery, so since it comes out on the 4th it’ll be here in time for the 6th, my birthday...in theory. We’ll have to see. And also, that medicine my mom gave me is finally starting to wear off (sorta). I find it interesting that I slept all most all day and I’m so very tired tonight. Oh well. If I had the money, I would buy B&W2 for _guinevere_. Because her reaction to the game seemed...favorable. But then, if I had had money, I would’ve bought a copy of Princess Mononoke for tinhuviel. /shrug Nothing ever goes as planned.

Also in good news; I went this morning to see about Hancock’s and the manager didn’t interview me or anything, but he did take my resume and he said he’d call back in a few days...of course if he calls back while we’re evacuated...that would be bad. I was sorta hoping that he would interview me this morning and I could get it over with. Oh well.

I am gonna try my hardest to go see The Fantastic Four at the dollar theater tomorrow. The earliest showing is at 5:10 though...I guess I could still go. I was just hoping for an earlier show.

I am once again beset by grogginess. I shall bid you all goodnight.
