Katrina

Yo. Everyone’s up in arms about ol’ Katrina now. Man. Just when we thought hurricane season was playing out...oh well. People are already packing up and leaving. Heading West I hope, considering that Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are gonna get rain from this too. They say it’s coming right for New Orleans...but they think it might turn more towards Mississippi...but no one’s counting on that!

So what’s my family doing to prepare? Well...we might by a radio.../shrug We’ll probably board up the windows and just hunker down here and wait for the storm to pass. Dad might be going on Monday...although considering the storm is coming Monday, I doubt it. I don’t know if we’ll be having church tomorrow either...I might want to call and ask...there will probably be too many people boarding up, packing up, and leaving...but you can never tell.

Dad and Mom have headed off to have a lunch with the ‘Prime-Timers’. It’s a group of church people ages 50+ who get together and eat and have their type of fun...which usually involves singing old gospel songs off-key till everyone’s sick of them...But, I never knock it. They’re the best cooks in the church...

And of course, Mom and Dad left the TV on when they left so I was berated by the local news team as they informed everyone the same thing over and over “Katrina’s Coming.” It’s funny ‘cause what they’re saying is like this.

“Remember when Cindy came through here. Cindy was only a tropical storm, and the winds caused heavy damage across all of south Louisiana! Katrina is expected to become a category 4!”

What they’re really saying is, “GET OUT! GET OUT NOW! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!”

…It’s actually quite amusing. We’ve weathered worse storms, and besides all that...we don’t have the money to leave now!

Speaking of weathering storms and church...There has been the biggest stink about the church lately because of an arrest that happened. In the papers they said a local woman was arrested due to ‘carnal knowledge of a juvenile’ which basically means she slept with a 15 year-old boy. They went on to say that the relationship had been going on for about 3 months when the boy confessed to his parents. The article then went on to say that the woman was a 26 year-old mother of 4 and that the families met at our church. Holy. Clucking. Cow! You have never seen so many righteously indignant Christians! They even called our pastor to ask for a comment. He’s all like “I don’t know the situation entirely. It would be wrong for me to comment at this point.” He hadn’t even heard about it till they called him. Now everyone’s depressed because this bright, beautiful young woman, a mother of 4, could face up to 10 years in jail with fines up to $5,000. Everyone loved this girl, but evidently she had a problem.../shrug

Well, that’s enough for this morning’s edition of my useless life. We’ll see what else happens today and if I decide it’s actually worth writing about. Later.

TV brings up the oddest things...

Ok...so what have I done today? Other than listen to music and mull over what I might wanna do with certain story ideas...I did nothing. With the hurricane coming on, there isn’t much anyone could do. Dad and I did watch Bruce Almighty together, and he seemed to like it. That’s cool. Mom had a terrible headache, took half a pill, and slept for a few hours.

Oh! We did see that special Prank Trading Spaces! It was so fun. Especially since it was Doug and Hilda. I could not stop giggling. My parents were laughing too, but I think they were laughing more at me than the TV.../shrug Whatever.

My dad’s watching something about Rome behind me. And I just happened to look over my shoulder as they were showing paintings and statues of people in the Roman courts around the time of Julius Caesar’s death...Then I mentioned something that just popped into my head. So I said to Dad,

“You know, I see all of these paintings and sculpture and statues and such of these old Roman dignitaries...and I was thinking...These guys are politics, right? They basically sit around on their arses all day long...and if they should happen to want something, they just get a servant to get it for them right?” and my dad’s like,

“Yeah...” and I continue.

“Well, I don’t think these guys actually looked the way the artist portrayed them...I mean these guys are all buff and cut and look really good with their shirts off...Most of them were old, and not men of war, just politicians...I think they were fat!” my dad cracked up and then agreed with me. If you take it into context it makes sense. I went on to say that, they were probably old ugly fat men, but if the artist drew them that way, there were strict consequences no doubt.

And that concludes this edition of Pointless Musings with MsMoon X3

and I guess that’ll just be all. Nothing else to write about...still don’t know if we’re having church tomorrow or not. Mom says we’ll probably have church in the morning, but not in the evening. /shrug Whatever. Either way, Goodnight.
